Aegir Heerema Marine Contractors is currently building a new deepwater construction vessel. It will be called Aegir, after the Norse god of the sea, sometimes also referred to as a sea giant. Together with his wife, the sea goddess Ran, and their nine daughters, named for different types of waves, Aegir rules the seas. HMC’s new monohull vessel will be capable of executing complex infrastructure and pipeline projects in ultra deep water and will also have sufficient lifting capacity to install fixed platforms in relatively shallow water.
