The vessel is equipped with two revolving cranes built by Huisman Equipment B.V., each with a capacity of 10,000 t (11,000 short tons); the main cranes can be operated in tandem to jointly lift 20,000 t (22,000 short tons). After its completion in 2019, SSCV Sleipnir succeeded Heerema's earlier SSCV Thialf as the largest crane vessel in the world.
A crane vessel, crane ship, crane barge, or floating crane is a ship with a crane specialized in lifting heavy loads, typically exceeding 1,500 t (1,476 long tons; 1,653 short tons) for modern ships. The largest crane vessels are used for offshore construction .
[4] [5] At the time it was the largest barge crane in the western United States. [6] In the 1970s, Marine Boss was sold to J. Ray McDermott & Co., who had introduced the first 500-ton floating cranes for offshore platform construction in 1965 [7] and were operating a similar fleet of barge-cranes under the McDermott Derrick Barge (DB) class.

Pioneering Spirit is the world's largest vessel, in terms of her gross tonnage (403,342 gt), breadth (123.75 m or 406 ft), and displacement (1,000,000 tonnes or 980,000 long tons). [ 4 ] [ 2 ] The maximum 48,000-tonne (53,000-short-ton) topside lift capacity is achieved by operating as a semi-submersible.
Taisun was built to install very large (up to 20,000 tons) integrated modules on top of a vessel's hull. Traditionally, offshore vessels such as drilling semi submersibles or FPSOs were built from the ground up in modules of 1000 to 2000 tons, which meant that much installation, hook up and commissioning work was left to be done on board where access is limited and efficiency is decreased.
The largest crane on the East Coast will soon try to lift the treacherous, colossal wreckage that has hampered search crews from finding victims of this week’s catastrophic Baltimore bridge ...
Equipped with a large 7,500 tonnes lifting capacity crane, an additional 4,000 tonnes crane and an auxiliary 1,600 tonnes hook, a long stinger [12] and extensive equipment for lifting and lowering exceptionally heavy equipment and oil rigs, Lanjing is the largest crane vessel in the world (as of 2019).
