The jack-up rig (Energy Exerter) was loaded in extreme weather conditions with temperature up to -37°C in the sheltered waters of Kirkenes, this implied special measures for the workers and for welding operations in order to assure good welding quality. The rig was transported to Kavalla. Therefore the Energy Exerter was placed longitudinal on a 0.30 [m] high cribbing on the aft deck of the Fjord, facing with the stern to the bow.

Engineering for dry-dock operation on the semi submersible barge Fairmount Fjord of Jack-up rig Trident XIC. Rig to be placed at the stern of the barge on 1.60m high cribbing. Loading and discharge by jacking on/off method.

Feasibility of the transportation of the Deep Panuka MOPU from various load out port in the Far East and Middle East to NW Europe and from NW Europe to offshore Canada. Transport weight 17000 ton.

The semi submersible heavy lift barge (Zhong Ren 3) was loaded with 39 Mississippi barges and shipped from New Orleans to Buenos Aires. HMC used SafeTrans to make risk analyses for the voyage. SafeTrans is a system conceived in a joint industry project involving 31 companies in the heavy lift and towage industry. Other calculations as loading condition and welding calculations are performed with the Marine Services tool.

Feasibility study and verification of the engineering for the skidding, transportation from Pasir Gudang to Qarar and float over of 2 topsides of 9600 and 9000 ton respectively.

Ballast sequence and transport condition of Gorilla Type of rig on the Fjord as typical example and port of the class approved stability booklet.

HMC BV worked on the delivery of the complete transport engineering that has successfully transported the first sets of four voyages. The first set of Panama locks were transported from Trieste, Italy and are now off-loaded onto a temporary dock on the Atlantic side of the waterway. The arrival of the first set of new gates comes as the expansion nears the end of its sixth year of construction.

Ocean Seal loaded with 33 Mississippi barges from New Orleans to Buenos Aires.

Development of heavy duty long haul ocean going tug.

The semi submersible Noble Leo Segerius needed to be dry docked on a semi submersible heavy lift barge (Zhong Ren 3) at Rio de Janeiro area where the rig was modified. The preparations started in week 30, 2005. The actual load out took place a week later. HMC made ballast steps, ballast and deballast sequences. Taken in account wind load, wave height and heel ang
