Saipem 7000
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saipem 7000 is the world's second largest Crane vessel (2 x 7,000t), after the Thialf (2 x 7,100t). It can be equipped with a J-lay system. Only Svanen (8,700t) can rival these in size, but doesn't have a revolving crane as the other two. Saipem 7000 uses 130 tons of fuel per day when on the move. It carries over 9,600 tons of fuel on board.
This huge ship was able in 2002 to lay pipes of a diameter of 24 inches for the Russia / Turkey project Blue Stream up to the record depth of 2,150 meters, broken at the end of 2005 by the Balder (2220 meter).
The Saipem 7000 was previously known as the Micoperi 7000.
