Balder is a Semi Submersible Crane Vessel (SSCV) and is capable to. By using Sleipnir, Heerema is working on cleaning up retired drilling platforms in the cleanest possible way with their use of emission reducing LNG. The vessel arrives to prepare for future decommissioning work across the North Sea. Sleipnir arrives following a successful project execution in Trinidad, having already worked in Brazilian and Israeli waters. Alongside, the ongoing Shore Power Caland Canal project in collaboration with Eneco to provide 100% renewable energy to Heerema vessels that moor in the Port of Rotterdam. Heerema actively invests in sustainability measures, most recently trialing alternative fuels on Thialf, a semi-submersible crane vessel with a 14,200 metric ton lifting capacity. What is especially unique about Sleipnir is that it has ‘dual fuel’ propulsion and can, therefore, run entirely on the emission-reducing fuel LNG. The Aegir’s 4,000-ton main crane and the fact that her hull design is based on Ulstein’s SOC 5000 heavy lift vessel design, is a key benefit in this conversion.
