Historyedit
She was built in 1997 in Singapore at Keppel's Far East-Levingston Shipbuilding Ltd's yard. Soon after completion, Asian Hercules II was loaned to Smit International and served the European lifting market from 1999.[2][3]
Asian Hercules II and Rambiz lifted sections of the sunken Tricolor from the English Channel after it sank in 2002. Tricolor was cut into sections with a carbide-coated cable prior to wreck removal.[5]
In 2011, Asian Hercules II set the heavy-lift mast crane for Seven Borealis.[6]
