It was ordered in 2015 and built in Singapore by Sembcorp Marine. After its completion in 2019, SSCV Sleipnir succeeded Heerema\u2019s earlier SSCV Thialf as the largest crane vessel in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Namport\u2019s commercial service executive Elias Mwenyo said the SSCV Sleipner, which is currently sailing under the Panama flag, underwent essential procedures, including a quick rundown and provisionals facilitated through a launch, crew change and bunkering via STS (Ship-to-Ship)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNotably, the SSCV Sleipner boasts its own propulsion system, eliminating the need for tugs to manoeuvre her across the global seas. Logistics Support Services is the vessel\u2019s local agent, and following this initial call, SSCV Sleipner is set to embark on its journey to America for a designated job,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Mwenyo added that SSCV Sleipner is expected to make a second call to the Port of Walvis Bay later in the year.<\/p>\n<p>He said Namport looks forward to a successful partnership with SSCV Sleipner, and reaffirms its commitment to facilitating efficient and seamless maritime operations in the Erongo region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNamport remains committed to playing a pivotal role in facilitating maritime trade and operations in the region, contributing to the economic growth and development of Namibia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
