![]() Contact our NL, Canada office with any questions. This setup also makes this vessel the first crane vessel with dual-fuel engines, allowing it to operate sustainably almost anywhere. SLEIPNIR has Adhoc Offshore Crane Operators available for any length fill in assignment. Heerema plans to use LNG as the primary fuel, with 8,000 cubic meters of LNG storage capacity giving the Sleipnir the ability to stay on station for one month or cross the Atlantic. The vessel is powered by 12 dual-fuel 8 cylinder engines at up to 8 MW of power each, operating on diesel or LNG for a total of 96 MW of power. The columns and pontoons are rounded and streamlined to reduce drag as well. The 23.75 m or 77.9 foot tall columns house ballast tanks and LNG storage, as well as a staircase that connects the pontoons below the surface with the deck above. These columns are symmetrical fore and aft, making it more stable in rough seas than some other vessels that use bigger columns under the cranes for more support. ![]() In Spain, Titan LNG together with Anthony Veders’ vessel (that will pass through Suez Canal) will again supply Sleipnir.The Sleipnir was named after the Norse God Odin’s eight-legged horse and like that fabled steed, the vessel Sleipnir is constructed as a platform on eight columns, with a pontoon on each side. Shortly after adding Coral Fraseri to our fleet we have already mobilized her in the small scale LNG market, which underlines our strong position and commitment in supplying the maritime industry worldwide sustainable solutions for LNG as marine fuel.” Sleipnir will now set sail for Spain, rounding South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope. ![]() Jan Valkier, CEO of Anthony Veder says: “We are excited by serving Heerema’s Sleipnir with this LNG bunkering operation, in cooperation with Titan LNG, and look forward to many more. And look forward to supplying Heerema with more LNG in the future to fulfil our mission of helping to lower harmful emissions from the marine sector”. I’d like to thank our partners Anthony Veder, SLNG and Pavilion Gas for their support in this Dutch Singaporean co production. “We are extremely proud to have successfully completed the largest LNG bunkering in the World”, said Niels den Nijs, CEO Titan LNG, “It was a Herculean task, supplying this 8 legged extremely potent crane vessel, the Sleipnir. The involvement of a second Dutch company, Anthony Veder, makes this maiden voyage extra special”. We are very pleased to work together with Dutch Company Titan LNG, since it provided us with good solutions for bunkering, in Singapore as well as in Spain. It was particularly appropriate that Sleipnir would perform the decommissioning work as it is the world’s most sustainable SSCV. Mobile Crane Safety Regulations will be used as the basis of. Students will be introduced to Mobile Harbour Crane operation by means of PowerPoint presentations, lectures and practical demonstrations.

This program is designed to instruct and evaluate students with regards to the safe operating practices of company specific Mobile Harbour Cranes. This specific project of bunkering LNG is proof of this ambition. Heerema’s Crane Ship Champion in 1971 load testing the new crane. ![]() It shows that we act sustainable because we want to. Sleipnirs’ design clearly showcases Heerema’s dedication to sustainability beyond simply compliance. Sustainability is an integral part of HMC's identity, embedded in our daily work practices. Our LED lights and shore power electricity are only a few examples of Heerema’s ambition in this area. No other vessel has such numerous features. Koos-Jan van Brouwershaven, CEO Heerema: “Not only is Sleipnir the world’s largest and strongest vessel, it is also first of its kind as far as sustainability goes. Titan LNG has chartered a ship owned by Anthony Veder, also Dutch, thus resulting in a unique Dutch cooperation. Heerema has selected Dutch company Titan LNG to help in this undertaking. Since LNG is not yet obtainable worldwide, Heerema is the first to perform an LNG bunkering in this area of the world. The last two days bunkering of LNG took place 12 miles off the coast of Indonesia. It has the strongest pair of revolving cranes and also is the world’s first crane vessel with dual-fuel engines running on MGO and LNG, dramatically reducing harmful emissions. This unique vessel is the largest crane vessel yet built. Sleipnir is designed to work on large offshore projects such as installing and removing jackets, topsides, deep-water foundations, moorings and other offshore structures, such as windmills. Sleipnir, the world’s largest and strongest semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV) was built in Singapore and will set course for Spain. This week, Heerema’s newest vessel Sleipnir will begin her maiden voyage.
