Heerema’s Sleipnir Bunkers Almost 3,300t LNG Setting World Record.The LankoForce HL slings will be used on a 4-point lifting frame for an offshore lifting project. The steel jacket with a total weight of 14,000 tonnes was cut horizontally below water and removed in two separate. For the first time in the heavy lift industry, Lankhorst Ropes is supplying Heerema Marine Contractors with LankoForce HL slings manufactured with Dyneema SK78 fibre produced using post-consumer plastic waste as a feedstock. Sleipnir completes 1st decommissioning project. Heerema using the Thialf heavy-lift vessel.Sleipnir sets 15,300-tonne lift record.4 Internal Lifting Tools to be operated on board of the Heerema construction and heavy lift vessels, to grab tubulars for installation and decommissioning of offshore platforms. Its Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) system is the world’s first Type-C LNG tank installed in an enclosed column. The F.lli Righini scope of work (SOW) includes design, detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication and testing for No. Sleipnir’s dynamic ballast and de-ballast system is a joint engineering effort by Sembcorp Marine and Heerema. All quarters have heating and air conditioning facilities. The living quarters accommodate up to 400 persons in single and double cabins. Station-keeping is by means of dynamic positioning (DP3) or mooring system. The Sleipnir is self-propelled and has a minimum service speed of 10 knots, with power generated by means of dual-fuel engines – Marine Diesel Oil (MGO) & LNG. When the cranes are fully extended, the vessel will reach 220 metres – more than 20 metres higher than the iconic Marina Bay Sands in Singapore (or 85 metres higher than the London Eye). The vessel also boasts a large reinforced work deck area for carrying multiple modules. Other stand-out features include greater workability in harsher environments due to the design of the columns. The 129m (423-ft) high lifting capacity provided by the cranes’ main hoist also facilitates the placement of heavy topsides modules at higher elevations. The vessel has two heavy-lifting offshore cranes with a 10,000-tonne lifting capacity each, which can lift the equivalent weight of 20,000 cars in tandem. It can work in shallow water as well as ultra-deep water. Furthermore, the cranes can be utilised for the installation of foundations, moorings and structures in deep water. The dual cranes provide for heavy lifting capacity both to install and remove jackets, topsides, and new types of seabed processing equipment. The vessel is used for the installation and decommissioning of major offshore facilities worldwide.
