The largest floating cranes in the world are the Heerema Thialf and the Saipem 7000. They each have two cranes capable of lifting 7000 tons and are normally used for offshore oil and gas platform installation. The crane in this video only lifts 1800 tons; it's relatively small by the standards of the offshore oil industry.

Yeah...even the Asian Hercules can lift 3,500 tons.....it was right before this video...lifting a 3,000 ton bow section for Mearsk...!

I worked with Saipem's Castoro Sei in 82 in Denmark and saw the Hermod .Heerema and Saipem' s more modern offshore construction vessels could lift this out of the water. Not forgetting Pioneering Spirit, But,I retired in 86 ftom offshore work.

Thankyou I knew this was not the largest crane in the world but did not know the specs of what was.

Absolutely true. The Dutch floating crane known as the Thialf is capable of lifting over 14,000 tons, or over 7 times the capacity of this crane.

underconstruction in Singapore is the Heerema Sleipnir at 20,000 mts

Slepnir has two 10,000 metric ton 360 slewing cranes on her stern, just one of these cranes could lift this shear leg on its auxiliary hook!

Right now there are two floating vessels in the world that are capable of lifting 14,000 metric tons. So get your facts straight. The Left Coast Lifter is tiny in comparison.

Yanken he Big moth nothing more

I've worked on two barges, each of which had two cranes, each far bigger than that.

That looks so small. I saw Heerema Sleipnir today, now that was impressive.

People who know their stuff know that this is a far cry from the largest crane in the world. Bloomberg should talk to people who know their stuff.

"Canal toll $70,000" Thanks Jimmy Carter.

NOT the worlds largest floating crane,

That’s not even a midsized crane in the offshore industry. You don’t even need to compare it to Thialf or Saipem; there are plenty of work ships with normal mast cranes that can lift more than that. There are even land-based crawler cranes that can lift more than that.

this is definitely not the largest floating crane in the world...not even close. So stop trying to bring more views by lying in your video title

SSCV Sleipnir. The title for the Biggest Crane Ship is currently held by SSCV Sleipnir, which has two revolving cranes, each with a capacity of 10,000 tons.

In the world of offshore lifting capacity, I'm not sure this ranks as a midsize crane.

Tialf, Siapan 2 and Asian Hercules 3 are far larger to date. Left Coast Lifter is medium sized in the world of the super heavy lift cranes. Tialf broke the world heavy lift record at 12500 tonnes (that's the bigger metric tons) between its pair of 7000 tonne capacity booms. Damn click bait Bloomberg. The Tialf and Siapan 2 are so massive they can't move under the Vans Narrows bridge without first removing their superlifts.

Was standing in front of Saipem 7000 yesterday......it is huge!!

"World's Largest Floating Crane " My arse it is. I know of three that would lift that out of the water without breaking sweat.

Heerema Thialf: Am I a joke to you?

The Sleipner with a lifting capacity of 10 000 mt is now the largest floating crane in the world.

Second is the Thialf and 3e the saipem 7000

Heerema are currently building one capable of 20,000 tonnes lift

maybe the largest if you ignore everything dutch.

Is a toy Heerema from The Nederland is the biggest in the world and no another floating crane can stand against Heerema

this is not the largest, please do check with the expert before making "bullshit" tittle.

Balder & Hermod :-D !

nice video👍

Want to see something really impressive, try out the Baldar or the Thialf. Rated at 14,000MT each, with a larger one on the way. Used in Europe for bridge work in Rotterdam.

this thing is tiny 👎👎👎👎👎👎for incorrect title

Wonder what holds it up on top of the water when its maxed out

They couldn’t even build the booms of this crane in the US, the barge was sent to china and outfitted with a crane boom build by ZPMC in Shanghai

sscv sleipnir owner by heerema marine contractor_no 1 ranking in the world, the strongest floating crane ever....

Far from being the world's largest floating crane. How about a little research before you throw out those sorts of superlatives?

dam those tugboats are beasts.

The biggest floating cranes could lift that

This is a small crane! Big is 2x 10.000 ton

Worlds largest floating crane 12,000 tons this thing is not a crane it is a shear leg lifting barge

We built fight now Heerema sleipnir 10k twice. No bigger ever.

Its a giant floating crane.

Saipem 7000 was the biggest floating crane vessel for years

nope ! Heerema has had 7000 metric ton lifting cranes since the 1970ies , starting with single craned Thor, Balder & Hermod then; Thialf & Sleipnir now !

Thialf Heerema, Saipem 7000, Sapura 3000. How can a bloomberg came out with a funny fact that this is the world's largest.....

Itneeds to be in Baltimore to remove the bridge from the water

Guys guys come on now no arguing the crane is the largest MEDIUM crane in the world.

The title doesn't say that.

Batteries not included. Fossil fuels required.

Big??? this is nothing! Heerema here in the Netherlands got the biggest like always they do. this thing is small....

I wonder if there is some irony in its name - Left Coast Lifter? From Lefty San Francisco to Lefty N.Y. City. THE LIBBIE LIFTER...

It can lift only 1750 tons, than it is a small crane compared to Heerema’s Thialf and definitely not the worlds biggest crane

This not a hudge crane. It is an average off Shore crane.

yep do not talk about thialf and balder

lifts 8700 tons

Thats not the world lagest floating crane! The ODIN 1 will have 5000 t, another crane gets 3000 t. Both are to be build in Rostock, Germany.

There should be a confiscatory financial recourse against obvious lies like this!

The middlest ones could too...

it is the worlds largest floating crane in "this"film!!

Probably the largest floating crane in you're world🤣

Canal toll 70.000 what a bargain "NOT"

Largest crane vessel?My ass. that's the Sleipnir, you should do your homework bettter .And there are the Balder, the Thialf ,Saipem 7000 and the Svanen, they easily take your largest vessel out of the water

Rubbish headlines

1750 ton is nothing. CC8800 twin can lift twice that! even a CC8800 boombooster can also do that.

This is not the largest floating crane!

Thats nowhere near the largest in the world

Rent of machine!

Well it's not the biggest floating crane in the world !

I could build that cheaper than it costs to transport. I would just outsource the whole thing to China then have it sent via plane in pieces.

...not the largest...and even the proceeding video of Asian Hercules was bigger, and self propelled...

I have a laugh flash ......... Please look outside the box [USA]

Is the term American or real? Do you mean Americas largest?

americans are used to the fact that all is bigger in the states [once a long time ago] Sleipnir heerema contractors 20.000 MT lifting capacity. yep DUTCH the no1 country

lol

The 8,000t Samsung, 4,000t Daewoo and 10,000Hyundai are all bigger than this. Typical Americans thinking they have bigger things

This is not the largest Floating cairn in the would, unless the USA is the would. The Japaneses have a much bigger floating cairn.

Yeah, This how fake news, little research, little thought of the of the program complete story and volumed up goofy music usually drowning out the narration of this video and others fail to incorporate. At the beginning; Who are the proud builders, the construction date and time, the sea Crane's owners, the cost of construction and maybe a general cost of the crane's service's, the weights and dimensions and lift capacity in American or Metric, make up your mind on just one. Oh, I wonder what the name is? Again, no narration that you may have to stop what you are doing and read the story lines. If you are lucky you might hear the narration over a goofy sound track by a deaf and dumb sound engineer. I wonder if the person okayed this incomplete video cashed their check, instead send their check to me. TD Atlanta
