Last week, Sleipnir <\/em>successfully lifted and removed the 8,100 tonne jacket for the Jotun-B platform in the Norwegian North Sea. The platform was installed in 1998 by the Heerema crane ship Thialf<\/em>, which returned to the Jotun field last year to remove the plaform's topsides.<\/p>\n "What we put in, we take out," Heerema said in a statement.<\/p>\n Sleipnir <\/em>arrived at the Jotun field 100 nm west of Stavanger on Friday, July 11. She completed the project by offloading the jacket onto the quayside at a decommissioning site in Vats, Norway on Thursday, July 16. The decommissioning work at the site was completed in just four days, one day ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n Images courtesy Heerema<\/em><\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n "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 <\/em>safely, sustainably, and in the shortest possible time," said Heerema’s CEO, Koos-Jan van Brouwershaven.<\/p>\n With two 10,000-tonne cranes and a 240,000 square foot reinforced deck, Sleipner <\/em>is the world's largest crane vessel. 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. (Allseas' Pioneering Spirit,<\/em> 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.)<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n maritime-executive<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The superlarge crane ship Sleipnir has set another record: the largest single-lift jacket removal.
