What this expert provides

The Marine Transportation expert engineers the sea transport of heavy and high-value cargo and structures: dry and wet tows on flat-top or semi-submersible barges, heavy transport vessels and self-floating structures.

Expert Profile

Builds the loading condition, screens transport stability, sets motion criteria, derives accelerations and seafastening design loads at the cargo centre of gravity, screens barge strength, sizes the towing spread and sets route and weather criteria. Its basis is DNV-ST-N001 and the Noble Denton guidelines, with IMO towing guidance; every edition and criterion is marked for verification.

Key Capabilities

  • Loading condition and intact transport stability
  • Accelerations and seafastening loads at the cargo CoG
  • Overturning, uplift and barge strength screening
  • Bollard pull, towline and tug requirements
  • Route, weather and design sea state criteria
