There is accommodation for 736 people and a helicopter pad.ĭepth (bottom of hull to main workdeck) 49.5 m (162 ft) This massive addition to the weight of the vessel creates the stability necessary to lift such massive loads, and also allows Thialf to operate in rough seas. causing it to float lower in the sea) by 20 m (65.6 ft). Essentially a colossal square sea-going barge, the lower section of Thialf's hull can be flooded, increasing its draught (i.e. Thialf carries two 95 m (311 ft) tall cranes which are capable of lifting objects in tandem (the lifting capacity quoted above is for such lifts). Thialf is operated by Heerema Marine Contractors of the Netherlands. (Allseas' Pioneering Spirit, which is not a crane vessel, won the topsides lift record last year with the 26,000 tonne processing platform unit for the Johan Sverdrup field.The world's largest floating crane ship is Thialf, a 201.6 m (661.4 ft) long semi-submersible barge with a lifting capacity of 14,200 tonnes (31.3 million lb). She set a world record for a crane vessel lift last September when she placed a 15,000 tonne topsides module on Noble Energy's new Leviathan platform. Simon Parsons, NI Area, Site & Civils Director said: This significant lift is testament to everyone involved from the teams who fabricated it, to those on. Lifting a module of 15,300 tonnes was never done by a crane vessel before. During this project Heerema’s SSCV Sleipnir set a new world record, completing a 15,300 tonnes lift, installing the topsides for Noble Energy’s Leviathan development in the Mediterranean. With two 10,000-tonne cranes and a 240,000 square foot reinforced deck, Sleipner is the world's largest crane vessel. The largest energy project in the history of the State of Israel. "We set records to break them, and we are proud to have worked alongside our client Vår Energi to complete the Jotun-B removal with mighty Sleipnir safely, sustainably, and in the shortest possible time," said Heerema’s CEO, Koos-Jan van Brouwershaven. The job also set another record: during this project, skirt piles with diameters of nine feet and 80mm wall thickness were cut subsea, the largest ever severed in this way. The decommissioning work at the site was completed in just four days, one day ahead of schedule. She completed the project by offloading the jacket onto the quayside at a decommissioning site in Vats, Norway on Thursday, July 16. Sleipnir arrived at the Jotun field 100 nm west of Stavanger on Friday, July 11. "What we put in, we take out," Heerema said in a statement. The platform was installed in 1998 by the Heerema crane ship Thialf, which returned to the Jotun field last year to remove the plaform's topsides. Last week, Sleipnir successfully lifted and removed the 8,100 tonne jacket for the Jotun-B platform in the Norwegian North Sea. The superlarge crane ship Sleipnir has set another record: the largest single-lift jacket removal.
