GRS has arranged a shipment of special vessels from San Diego to Northern Europe. The Sea Slice is currently being shipped by the Hamburg based shipping company Sal Heavy Lift and is expected to arrive in Rotterdam in 30 days time.

The heavy lift vessel Frauke will transport the 34m Sea Slice to Rotterdam, following this the vessel will be handed over to it's new owner Advanced Offshore Solutions ApS. Originally designed as an experimental vessel for the US Navy, Sea Slice is now set to operate in northern European waters.

“We will primarily use the Sea Slice for offshore works in the renewable energy sector,” says Kurt E. Thomsen of Advanced Offshore Solutions, explaining his plans.

Thanks to its uniquely modified SWATH hull design, the 137 tonne Sea Slice is able to serve as a stable and safe platform even in high swell. The dimensions and a maximum speed of 30 knots allow the vessel to be deployed safely and flexibly in the offshore industry up to Sea State 5.

“The Sea Slice is a special case in point to demonstrate how our customers can profit from our network and expertise. Bringing the right parties together from the outset and minimising our time and cost expenditure is all part of our job and we are getting better and better at it,“ explains a delighted Matthias Mross, GRS managing partner.
