Sleipnir arrives in Rotterdam
Heerema's crane vessel Sleipnir has arrived in Rotterdam for the first time. The semi-submersible vessel has two cranes onboard, each capable of lifting 10,000 metric tonnes. This ability makes it suitable for the largest offshore jobs, such as building wind turbines at sea, dismantling old platforms, or constructing the most significant offshore structures.
Due to Sleipnir’s two large streamlined floats, the vessel can sail relatively quickly (on average, twenty kilometres per hour) with limited fuel consumption. What is especially unique about Sleipnir is that it has dual-fuel propulsion and can, therefore, run entirely on the emission-reducing fuel LNG.
