Constructed by Sembcorp Marine in Singapore in 2019, Sleipnir stands as a remarkable semi-submersible crane vessel. Boasting an impressive lifting capacity of 20,000 metric tons and accommodation for 400 crew members, this vessel is a true engineering marvel. Its powerful crane can effortlessly hoist complete topsides or jackets from offshore oil and gas platforms, while also undertaking heavy lift construction operations for offshore wind farms.
The Sleipnir has set several records since its launch, including the largest crane vessel by size and lifting capacity, and the largest vessel ever built in terms of sheer tonnage. The vessel is powered by natural gas, making it the world’s first dual-fuel crane vessel and reducing its carbon footprint.
Overall, the Sleipnir represents a significant advancement in offshore crane technology and capabilities, and is a testament to the engineering and construction skills of its designers and builders.
