The HLV5000, is a new heavy lifting crane vessel being built at the Merwede Shipyard for Seaway Heavy Lifting. The vessel is equiped with a 5000 ton crane. Saltwater Engineering has been awarded the works for the complete stability calcuations of the vessel, this includes both intact and damaged stability. The works will cover all loading conditions of the vessel, including the heavy lifting conditions.
Principal dimensions of the vessel are as follows:

The basic stability rules and regulations applicable to the vessel are IMO Resolution A.534 Code of safety for Special purpose ships. For heavy lift operations, carried out under the limitations set forth in the DNV rules, the DNV requirements associated with the notation "Crane vessel" are applicable.
In addition, special rules and regulations are defined for working in Norwegian waters (NMD) and for extra heavy lifts of over 3500 ton capacity.
