SSCV Sleipnir is a semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV) owned and operated by the Netherlands-based Heerema Marine Contractors. It was ordered in 2015 and built in Singapore by Sembcorp Marine. It was named for Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse ridden by Odin in Norse mythology.
The vessel is equipped with two revolving cranes built by Huisman Equipment B.V., each with a capacity of 10,000 t (11,000 short tons); the main cranes can be operated in tandem to jointly lift 20,000 t (22,000 short tons).
After its completion in 2019, SSCV Sleipnir succeeded Heerema's earlier SSCV Thialf as the largest crane vessel in the world.
