A new special vessel at the Fehmarnbelt project

A new special vessel has arrived in the work harbour in Rødbyhavn. It is the large floating crane “Hebo Lift 9”.

The floating crane will place the enormous anchors on the seabed, to which the immersion pontoon IVY will be attached with long steel wires in connection with the immersion of the first tunnel element this spring.

A total of eight anchors weighing 500 tonnes each will be used. The anchors are shaped like large boxes and are lowered onto the seabed. After the immersion of an element, the anchors can then be picked up again by the crane and reused in connection with the immersion of the next element.

“Hebo Lift 9” can easily handle the weight, as it can lift up to 800 tonnes. The crane can lift to a height of 67 metres and the vessel is 27 metres wide.
