Saipem 7000 Crane Wire Snaps During Load Test off Norway
On April 14, 2022, the heavy-lift vessel Saipem 7000 was carrying out a scheduled five-year main crane load test in Amoyfjorden, Norway, with classification surveyors aboard. The main block wire broke and the test load, two cargo barges, dropped into the water. The vessel listed hard before settling back to an even keel, and was righted later that afternoon. Both barges were left capsized. All 275 crew were reported safe and nobody was injured.
