A ship can change name and flag state through time, but the IMO number remains the same through the hull's entire lifetime. Heerema says the ship’s Dynamic Positioning system performed even better than expected, keeping Sleipnir stationary within the footprint of just 30 by 30 centimeters during work. Information about the vessel may be found at IMO 9781425. Where is the current position of SLEIPNIR presently Vessel SLEIPNIR is a other type ship sailing under the flag of Panama. Sleipnir’s speed was also tested, achieving a top speed of 12.2 knots. Speipnir is also the world’s first crane vessel with dual-fuel engines capable of running on traditional MGO and LNG.ĭuring recent sea trials, the Sleipnir lifted loads of 11,000 tonnes per crane – 110 percent of their capacity – and passed the tests with flying colors. With two 10,000-tonne revolving cranes, the vessel can lift loads of up to 20,000 tonnes in tandem.
