Pioneering Spirit (ship)
Pioneering Spirit is the world's largest platform installation/decommissioning and pipelay vessel built for the Allseas company. The ship is also by far the world's largest vessel overall ever constructed in terms of its gross tonnage of 403,342 gt, as well as its breadth (123.75 m/406 ft) and displacement (900,000 metric tons). The main construction was done at Daewoo shipyard, Korea and final completion will be in the Netherlands. Main diesel power comprises eight 20-cylinder (20V32/44CR) MAN 11,200 kW (each) engines and one 9-cylinder (9L32/44CR) 5,040 kW harbour engine with two engines each in four separate engine rooms (the engines with a total of 169 cylinders generate a total output of 94.6 MW) with 12 Rolls Royce, type UUC 455, thrusters, each 5.5 MW. The vessel was designed by a Finnish engineering company Deltamarin. Allseas¹ has committed to build Pioneering Spirit at a cost of US$1.7 billion. In an interview with De Telegraaf" chairman Heerema named a price of €2.4 billion for the 382 metres (1,253 ft) long vessel. AllSeas has committed to building an even larger version of the same design, which will be operational in 2020.

World’s biggest ship: the Pieter Schelte can tear down abandoned oil rigs in days
The world’s largest crane ship, the Pieter Schelte, can remove abandoned oil rigs in days, a significant improvement when compared to existing processes, which can take months, or even in some cases, years, according to a BBC report. The vessel measures 124 meters width and 382 meters in length, roughly as long as the Empire State Building is high. The ship is designed to install and remove offshore oil and gas rigs. To remove the top part of an oil rig, the vessel approaches the structure until it stands between its hulls. Eight arms then slide out from the ship’s decks and grab the topside of the structure, previously separated from its legs. To remove the rig’s jacket, or the legs supporting it, the vessel uses a pair of lifting beams, 540 feet in length. As the attached beams ti...

Pioneering Spirit removing the Yme topsides
Allseas’ dynamically positioned single-lift installation/decommissioning and pipelay vessel “Pioneering Spirit” successfully executed her maiden heavy lift project, removal of the 13,500 t Yme mobile offshore production unit (MOPU) in the North Sea, 100 km off the coast of Norway, on 22 August 2016 for Repsol Norge AS. The Yme MOPU is a jack-up type platform standing on three steel legs of 3.5 m diameter, which are inserted approximately 10 m inside the subsea storage tank columns at 93 m water depth.

Eight arms then slide out from the ship’s decks and grab the topside of the structure, previously separated from its legs.
To remove the rig’s jacket, or the legs supporting it, the vessel uses a pair of lifting beams, 540 feet in length. As the attached beams tilt up, the entire jacket can is tilted up and levered onto the deck, according to a report by Popular Mechanics.
Allseas, the Swiss company that commissioned the Pieter Schelte, says plans to build an even larger ship are in the works.

Allseas’ dynamically positioned single-lift installation/decommissioning and pipelay vessel “Pioneering Spirit” successfully executed her maiden heavy lift project, removal of the 13,500 t Yme mobile offshore production unit (MOPU) in the North Sea, 100 km off the coast of Norway, on 22 August 2016 for Repsol Norge AS.
The Yme MOPU is a jack-up type platform standing on three steel legs of 3.5 m diameter, which are
inserted approximately 10 m inside the subsea storage tank columns at 93 m water depth.
With this platform removal, Allseas was able to demonstrate the unique single-lift capabilities of
“Pioneering Spirit”.
The platform was sea-fastened on board and the vessel is currently on her way to the newly
developed dismantling yard in Lutelandet, Norway.
Pioneering Spirit (formerly Pieter Schelte) is the largest construction vessel in the world. Inspired by the offshore heavy lifting pioneer Pieter Schelte Heerema (1908–81) and designed completely in-house, the vessel is designed for the single-lift installation and removal of large oil and gas platforms and the installation of record-weight pipelines.
The emergence of Pioneering Spirit signifies a step-change in offshore installation and decommissioning. Capable of lifting entire platform topsides of up to 48,000 t and jackets up to 20,000 t in a single piece, she significantly reduces the amount of offshore work associated with installation and decommissioning, moving the work onshore where it is safer and more cost effective.

The world’s largest crane ship, the Pieter Schelte, can remove abandoned oil rigs in days, a significant improvement when compared to existing processes, which can take months, or even in some cases, years, according to a BBC report.
The vessel measures 124 meters width and 382 meters in length, roughly as long as the Empire State Building is high.
The ship is designed to install and remove offshore oil and gas rigs.
To remove the top part of an oil rig, the vessel approaches the structure until it stands between its hulls.
Eight arms then slide out from the ship’s decks and grab the topside of the structure, previously separated from its legs.
To remove the rig’s jacket, or the legs supporting it, the vessel uses a pair of lifting beams, 540 feet in length. As the attached beams tilt up, the entire jacket can is tilted up and levered onto the deck, according to a report by Popular Mechanics.
Allseas, the Swiss company that commissioned the Pieter Schelte, says plans to build an even larger ship are in the works.

Allseas’ dynamically positioned single-lift installation/decommissioning and pipelay vessel “Pioneering Spirit” successfully executed her maiden heavy lift project, removal of the 13,500 t Yme mobile offshore production unit (MOPU) in the North Sea, 100 km off the coast of Norway, on 22 August 2016 for Repsol Norge AS.
The Yme MOPU is a jack-up type platform standing on three steel legs of 3.5 m diameter, which are
inserted approximately 10 m inside the subsea storage tank columns at 93 m water depth.
With this platform removal, Allseas was able to demonstrate the unique single-lift capabilities of
“Pioneering Spirit”.
The platform was sea-fastened on board and the vessel is currently on her way to the newly
developed dismantling yard in Lutelandet, Norway.
Pioneering Spirit (formerly Pieter Schelte) is the largest construction vessel in the world. Inspired by the offshore heavy lifting pioneer Pieter Schelte Heerema (1908–81) and designed completely in-house, the vessel is designed for the single-lift installation and removal of large oil and gas platforms and the installation of record-weight pipelines.
The emergence of Pioneering Spirit signifies a step-change in offshore installation and decommissioning. Capable of lifting entire platform topsides of up to 48,000 t and jackets up to 20,000 t in a single piece, she significantly reduces the amount of offshore work associated with installation and decommissioning, moving the work onshore where it is safer and more cost effective.
Pioneering Spirit (ship)
Pioneering Spirit is the world's largest platform installation/decommissioning and pipelay vessel built for the Allseas company. The ship is also by far the world's largest vessel overall ever constructed in terms of its gross tonnage of 403,342 gt, as well as its breadth (123.75 m/406 ft) and displacement (900,000 metric tons). The main construction was done at Daewoo shipyard, Korea and final completion will be in the Netherlands. Main diesel power comprises eight 20-cylinder (20V32/44CR) MAN 11,200 kW (each) engines and one 9-cylinder (9L32/44CR) 5,040 kW harbour engine with two engines each in four separate engine rooms (the engines with a total of 169 cylinders generate a total output of 94.6 MW) with 12 Rolls Royce, type UUC 455, thrusters, each 5.5 MW. The vessel was designed by a Finnish engineering company Deltamarin. Allseas¹ has committed to build Pioneering Spirit at a cost of US$1.7 billion. In an interview with De Telegraaf" chairman Heerema named a price of €2.4 billion for the 382 metres (1,253 ft) long vessel. AllSeas has committed to building an even larger version of the same design, which will be operational in 2020.
