LEIDEN, the Netherlands Heeremas semisubmersible crane vessel Sleipnir has transported and installed the 2,852-metric ton (3,144-ton) jacket for the Hollandse Kust Zuid (HKZ) transformer platform in the Dutch North Sea.<\/p>\n
The six-legged jacket was transported to the HKZ location on the Sleipnirs deck after being picked up in Amoy Fjord, Stavanger, Norway on June 22. Then the vessel and 50-m (164-ft) long jacket sailed to the HKZ location about 22 km (14 mi) offshore Scheveningen, the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
This is the Sleipnirs second on the HKZ project. The vessel installed the HKZ alpha jacket in 2020. <\/p>\n
The Sleipnir performed the full installation operations while running on emission-reducing LNG fuel. By using LNG, the Sleipnir reduces CO2 emissions by 25%, NOx emissions by 92%, SOx emissions by 99%, and Particulate Matters by around 99% compared to traditional Marine Gas Oil crane vessels, according to Heerema. <\/p>\n
