The vessel carried out the installation of the topsides of the Leviathan development in the Mediterranean, a world record lift. GE was chosen to provide the electrical part of the power and propulsion system including 12 sets of 8MW generators, eight units of 5.5MW propulsion motors, medium-voltage switchboards, transformers, MV7000 drives and the Visor remote monitoring and diagnostics system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to the long-term electrical expertise we have in the offshore industry, one of our key strengths lies in our capability of system integration which allows us to create more efficient systems, deliver additional value to our customers and help them maintain fleets with long-term technological advantage and competitiveness in the industry,\u201d said Andy Cooper, managing director of GE\u2019s Power Conversion business UK.<\/p>\n<p>The 220m long and 102m wide <em>Sleipnir<\/em> is the world\u2019s first crane vessel with dual-fuel engines running on either MGO or LNG.
