A crane vessel, crane ship or floating crane is a ship with a crane specialized in lifting heavy loads. ~~~~~~~ The largest crane vessels are used for offshore construction. ~~~~~~ Conventional monohulls are used, but the largest crane vessels are often catamaran or semi-submersible types as they have increased stability. ~~~~~~ On a sheerleg crane, the crane is fixed and cannot rotate, and the vessel therefore is manoeuvered to place loads. ~~~~~ As of 2019, the largest crane vessel in the world is the CNOOC Limited owned Lanjing, having 3 cranes of capacities 7500 tonnes, 4000 tonnes and 1600 tonnes. • • • #cranevessel #craneship #floatingcrane #offshoreconstruction #heavylifting #heavyliftvessel #heavyliftingvessel #heerema #sscvsleipnir #seafarer #seafarers #seafarerslife #sailing #sailinglife #sailingvessel #construction #shipping #seaman #seamanlife #semi_submersible #semisubmersible #marinecontractors #heeremamarinecontractors #supplychainmanagement #supplyanddemand #offshorelife (at At Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RQ2I4g1yO/?igshid=7y75qocj2m5y
