Heerema Sleipnir Built in Singapore our SembCorp Marine Shipyard with Heerema ship building experts together. Our Shipyard Engineers and Technicians worked very hard complete the project in time. I am very happy to see now carry on work successfully. Best wishers from Singapore.
i was a kid when my dad was Months away from home, but brought back stories from singapore, korea, america, and arab countries about these ships. (as he was some kind of engineer on them)
Having seen Big Muskie up close and working in the early 70's it's good to see they can still build mind numbing big like this..Don't know how they'd compare weight wise
Also keep in mind that there are two cranes like this on the ship, that makes it even more crazy. The Big Muskie's weight was 12000t, together these cranes can lift 14000t. So I'm guessing each crane weighs at least 15000t.
Imagine the sheer amount of electrical (and hydraulic!) power housed within these behemoths! And that's a crane now superseded by the 10000mT built in Zhangzhou with a 36 metres custom in-house built slew bearing...
Man that thing is huge. For a sense of scale check out the couple of lifts (levels) of scaffolding along the lefthand side of the machinery house. Each lift is 2 metres high to allow men to walk and work on the exterior. There is also a small amount of scaffolding set up just underneath the operator's cabin.

Pokke herrie? Dan ben je waarschijnlijk niets gewend. Ik heb 32 jaar offshore gewerkt en ook op alle kraanschepen gewerkt, gegeten en geslapen...niks mis mee.
The designer either was an alien, or has received supernatural assistance: Mere man can not do this!!! Right! It took god-like men, but then, God created man a little lower than the gods/angels!!!
this one is just 'bigger' than the previous ones. Heerema started in the early seventies, with Balder & Hermod; Thialf is the 3rd, and now there is Sleipnir ! oh, and the designers were Dutch !
