Germany-headquartered SAL Heavy Lift has launched its second Orca-class heavy lift vessel, Frida, at the Wuhu Shipyard in China.
SAL’s Orca-class heavy lift vessels have a methanol-ready design and feature two 800-tonne lift capacity electric cranes. The vessels possess an optimised hull design that allows for low cargo accelerations and, in turn, reduced cargo lashing requirements, it explained.
In December 2023, SAL signed an option for a fifth Orca-class newbuild vessel with Wuhu Shipyard in China.
