The design has not been finalized,

Depending on when you start counting from,
there have been“three bad years for the installation market,” Edward Heerema, founder and owner Allseas, said,“for everyone.
This March, a robot called Fleet
Cleaner was deployed to clean both floaters of Heerema's semi-submersible crane vessel Thialf in the Port of Rotterdam.
Heerema said Sleipnir will soon commence
its maiden voyage to southern Spain where it will be prepared for its first installation project in the Mediterranean.
Noble Energy's VP of Major Projects George Hatfield,
said,"The long and successful relationship between Noble Energy and Heerema continues with the safe and efficient execution by Sleipnir and her team.
Once the vessels had safely arrived at the destination in the North Sea, all the pieces of the platform puzzle were
lifted in place by the heavy-lift vessel Thialf of Heerema Marine Contractors.
It would be a bigger version of Allseas' existing Pioneering Spirit ship, which removed Shell's Brent Delta platform in the North Sea last year, and would cost about $3 billion,
Allseas CEO Edward Heerema told Reuters.
Sleipnir installed the Leviathan development's two main topsides with a total weight of 24,500
metric tons in less than 20 hours, Heerema said, adding that one of the lifts,
at 15,300 metric tons, marks a world record for a crane vessel.
