Sapura 3000

edit

This crane has not 3000mT but 3000sT (=2722mT) capacity. http://www.huismanequipment.com/documenten/products/pipelay/leaflet_sapura3000_a.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.209.196.241 (talk) 23:43, 2 April 2012 (UTC)Reply


Largest Crane Vessels

edit

Is the table of largest vessels complete? What about Rambiz (3,300 tonnes) and Asian Hercules II (3,200 tonnes)?

Okay. I went ahead and added above. Note, Asian Hercules II is technically a sheerlegs, although this would still be classed as crane vessel? Correct if wrong. I suggest adding a section on offshore renewables, (where there quite a bit of demand for construction vessels happening right now).

Distinction between floating cranes and crane ships/vessels

edit
Latest comment: 13 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

As a reaction to my category edits (merging category:floating cranes into category:crane vessels), I got a revert and message on my discussion page stating that floating cranes are not crane vessels.

As the article currently treats them together, I'm asking: Is there a clearly defined difference which can be used as a criterion for correct categorization? --Tetris L (talk) 06:02, 6 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Floating cranes float (and don't require much more than this), crane vessels are vessels and , like other vessels, are capable of making independent headway. A crane vessel and more obviously a crane ship has some pretence of being a boat or ship that can function as such. Floating cranes are generally no more than rafts or pontoons.
There is also a historical difference. The heyday of the floating crane was in the first half of the 20th century, when they provided a mobile crane heavy lift service that was used around ports and harbours, for civil engineering projects as much as for shipbuilding. At this time there were no comparable land-based mobile cranes. The few mobile cranes available were lower capacity and limited to working on firm surfaces (i.e. not for construction sites).
I would support the merging of a descriptive article for both classes (the classes are distinct, but their history is best told through an overall article), but the category structure should be kept separate, so as to appropriately describe articles on individual cranes (many individual floating cranes were large enough to acquire individually notable histories). This is particularly relevant to Commons. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:05, 6 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I suppose that the Pieter Schelte will be added to the list once her topside fitout is complete?. signed:Donan Raven (talk) 16:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Pioneering Spirit

@Mliu92: The Pioneering Spirit in this article is a bit odd. It is not yet a crane vessel, and once it is, the crane capacity will be 5000 ton. The lifting capacity of the vessel itself is much higher, but that is not by crane, but by float over. Comparing lifting records with crane vessels is comparing apples and pears. Other float overs have taken place in the past with higher weights. Boskalis recently performed the Aasta Hansteen float over of 24,300 ton.[1] Technip has performed float overs up to 18,000 ton.[2] Wheatstone was a 36,000 ton float over, while Arkutun Dagi was 42,380 ton, both with the H-851.[3][4] Therefore I plan on removing the sections on what are actually float overs. BoH (talk) 14:59, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

I wanted to bring up the Topsides Lift System (TLS). It's quite a unique system with a notable lifting capacity of 48,000 tons, different from the conventional crane vessels and float-over systems.
Although the TLS isn't a crane in the traditional sense, its ability to lift entire topsides in a single operation aligns it with the core purpose of heavy lifting. I believe this makes it relevant for the topic. It's an example of how heavy lifting technology is evolving, offering new solutions and pushing the boundaries of what we typically consider in this category.
Thought it might be worth mentioning in the article as it adds another dimension to our understanding of heavy lifting capabilities in marine engineering. Lucanator1 (talk) 16:06, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
