Semi-Submersible Heavy Lift Vessels
Offshore
Heavy Transport (now Dockwise) used Autoload on two sister-ships
- Black Marlin and Blue Marlin - the largest
heavy lift vessels of their kind in the world. It was
one of these sister-ships, the Blue Marlin, that transported
the terrorist-damaged USS Cole from Yemen waters
back to its home port of Newport News VA. In the case
of the 9,000 ton USS Cole, transporting across
two major oceans without incident required Autoload to
both plan the stability and the deballast plan ahead of
time - and to monitor both in real time using the PC in
the loading control room of the Blue Marlin.
Autoload is also used on Phenix Shipping's Clipper
Cheyenne, a Ro-Ro/heavy Lift vessel and two of BOA
Limited's heavy lift barges. The latest installation
is on Keppel Fels semi-submersible, West Setia.
