The meeting was held at the Port’s office with the aim of ensuring that all relevant safety protocols were in place and all GPA criteria was met. The LNG bunkering operation was only allowed after key personnel from both vessels met with a team from the Gibraltar Port Authority (GPA), including the Captain of the Port, his Deputy, Senior Officers, Bunkering Superintendent and the Pilots. The SSCV Sleipnir left BGTW on 30 August at around 2020 hrs bound for Israel. The LNG bunker was supplied by the LNG carrier Coral Fraseri owned by Titan LNG which arrived specifically to deliver the LNG to the SSCV. Whilst at anchor in Gibraltar, the Sleipnir carried out a number of operations which included crew changes, spares, stores and LNG bunkering. The SSCV anchored on the western side of Gibraltar on 23 August 2019 after leaving Singapore on the 5 July 2019 as a new build, briefly calling at Cape Town, South Africa on 2 August before heading to the Mediterranean.
This, to date has been the largest LNG bunker supply in Europe, according to LNG bunker supplier Titan LNG. This action is in line with Heerema’s announcement that the company will go Carbon Neutral in 2020.Gibraltar in August saw the first ever liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker supply within British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW) with the arrival of one of the worlds biggest floating cranes, the Panamanian Semi Submersible Crane Vessel (SSCV) Sleipnir, said the Gibraltar Port Authority.Ī total of almost 3,200 metric tonnes (mt) of LNG was transferred to the eight bunker tanks of the Heerema Marine Contractors owned Sleipnir. Using LNG, Sleipnir reduces CO2 emissions by 25%, reduces NOx emissions by 92%, reduces SOx emissions by 99%, and Particulate Matters by around 99% compared to traditional Marine Gas Oil crane vessels.

Sleipnir is the world’s most sustainable SSCV, and during the project, the vessel performed the full installation operations while running on emission-reducing LNG fuel. Heerema is proud to work within the wind sector, and they will be back to complete our scope at Hornsea 2 in 2021.
The successful and safe installation completes around two years of a close partnership between Heerema´s client, leading renewable energy company Ørsted, their fabricator SMOE in Batam, and Heerema´s transportation subcontractor Biglift. After moving to the shallow water RCS location, Sleipnir installed the RCS Jacket.
Sleipnir traveled to the OSS location on September 29 and installed the 5000 metric ton OSS jacket after transferring the 1500 metric ton RCS jacket and piles to the Sleipnir deck. Ørsted’s Hornsea 2 wind farm is located approximately 89 km off the Yorkshire coast in the North Sea, and the project will consist of 165 turbines with a combined total capacity of 1.4 GW. The work included the transportation and installation of two jackets for client Ørsted that will provide the foundation for the Hornsea 2 wind farm’s RCS and OSS platforms. Heerema’s SSCV Sleipnir has safely and sustainably completed its second project in the wind sector this season, having earlier executed the HKZ installation.
