Most Suitable Future-Proof Energy Supply for a New-Build Semi-Submersible Crane Vessel: Energy Transition-Compliant Energy Supply for Heerema's Sleipnir: A Multi-Criteria Analysis

Currently, our society faces a pressing challenge: global warming. The solution lies in the energy transition, which replaces fossil fuels with clean sources. This requires a global effort across all sectors, including shipping. While a significant portion of shipping relies on polluting fuels, the European Union’s Green Deal aims for climate...

Monohull versus Semi-submersible for offshore heavy lift crane operations

In this thesis the differences between the monohull and semi-submersible are investigated. For a general heavy lift crane operation and its operational profile, the difference is performance and total cost are calculated. These are used to determine the turning point, the point where the semi-submersible is more favourable for a heavy lift crane...
