Saipem 7000 is the world's second largest crane vessel.

Saipem 7000 is the world's second largest Crane vessel (2 x 7,000t), after the Thialf (2 x 7,100t), however the crane radius of Saipem 7000 grant a lifting capability of 14000 t at 42 meters while Thialf can only lift 14200 at 31.2 meters; for this reason, the Saipem 7000 retain the world lifting records.

The Saipem 7000 retain the heaviest lifting record of 12150t for the Sabratha deck in the mediteranneum sea. A local record for the Gulf of Mexico (Mexican area) was set with the 9521t of the PB-KU-A2 deck. S7000 can be equipped with a J-lay system. Only Svanen (8,700t) can rival these in size, but doesn't have a revolving crane as the other two. Saipem 7000 uses 130 tons of fuel per day when on the move. It carries over 9,600 tons of fuel on board.

This huge ship was able in 2002 to lay pipes of a diameter of 24 inches for the Russia / Turkey project Blue Stream up to the record depth of 2,150 meters, broken at the end of 2005 by the Balder (2220 meter).
