Aegir

Aegir is one of the world's largest monohull crane vessels and has a proven track record across a wide range of offshore foundation, jacket, and topside installation projects.

Optimized for fast transit speed, Aegir can mobilize worldwide and work in any water depth.

Heavy Lift Vessel

Due to the vessel's retractable thrusters, shallow draft, and extensive clear deck space, the vessel has the possibility to load-out directly from the quayside and transport on deck, reducing both yard and transport costs.

While on location, Aegir's DP3 dynamic positioning system provides accurate and stable positioning. The vessel has a lifting capacity of 5.000 metric tons, and the option to use a split main crane block offers flexibility by allowing the upending of tall structures and long piles, similar to Heerema's dual crane vessels.

Aegir gets an upgrade

In March 2021, several modifications to Aegir were completed. The project’s main objective was to increase the vessel’s crane capacity from 4,000 to 5,000 metric tons and to increase its deck space.

The main scope of works

Upgrade of Aegir crane from 4,000 to 5,000 metric ton main hoist capacity
Installing a 2,000 metric ton second main hoist higher in the jib to lift high jackets
Upgrade the auxiliary hoist capacity from 750 to 1,000 metric tons
Increase space on Aegir's deck
Modification of cool water piping systems to optimize working with bubble curtains
