SAL SVENJA has been captured outbound from Everingen anchorage to Esbjerg with wind turbine parts loaded on deck.

The DP1 heavy lift vessel is operated by SAL Heavy Lift and belongs to the Sietas Type 183 design. The ship is a further development of the Type 176 series and measures 160.5 m in length.

For cargo handling, SAL SVENJA is fitted with two NMF cranes, each rated at 1,000 tonnes SWL. The vessel’s combined lift capability reaches 2,000 tonnes when the cranes are used in tandem. Its service speed is listed at 18 knots.

The voyage highlights the role of dedicated heavy-lift tonnage in moving large wind-related components between European ports. Esbjerg remains closely linked with offshore wind logistics, where deck space, crane capacity and schedule reliability are central to transport planning.
