Due to the quay layout, the module had to be loaded over BigLift Barentsz’ portside far aft side of the deck. Once on board, the module was shifted forward to its final stowage position. With the extensive ballast and structural capacity of BigLift Barentsz, this was no problem at all for the vessel. Even if the project was scheduled to take place in the Biscay Autumn, meticulous voyage planning and good coordination between clients, the vessel and the BigLift office support team made sure the voyage was completed safely and on schedule. In the preparation stage, BigLift supported the clients’ engineering team by performing detailed motion studies, structural verifications and ballast plans. For BigLift, this shipment is the second of three in the Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 development, awarded by our client Aibel AS. Earlier this year mv Poolgracht transported steel UPM sections from Laem Chabang, TH, to Haugesund, NO, and during the first half of 2021 BigLift will be moving a 100 m flare tower between the same countries on another BigLift heavy-lift vessel.
