The supersized challenges
of moving the Big, the
Heavy and the Wide
2
1
Every project move is unique and
complex
Involves countless considerations from
special requirements and permits to
route surveys
Delivery to remote locations with
limited infrastructure
Time critical
Safety and environmental concerns
Lack of focus on logistics, vis-a-vis
other aspects such as design and
manufacturing
The supersized challenges

Overcoming challenges
with precise planning

Why planning is important?
Planning ensures that every
technical, safety,
environmental, and
operational aspect has been
covered prior to the move
taking place, including route
and port surveys.

Let’s start with a Method Statement
Scope of work
HSSE practices
Contact details of key personnel
Vessel particulars
Cargo particulars
Operational procedures
Loading operations
Sea fastening
Discharging operations
Navigation

Using CAD in planning:

Using CAD in planning
Computer Aided Drawing allows
skilled users to create, modify, analyse
and optimise designs for shipping
project cargoes.
An experienced CAD operator can
enter all the complex aspects of a job
into the system and engineer a
solution in a professional way in a very
short time
A CAD drawing made in
interchangeable format can be used
for further modifications by carriers
and customers as well as barge
operators, trucking companies, ports
etc.

Example of a Lifting Arrangement
The lifting arrangements Grommets 4 x SWL 85 ts 6 m
Lifting beam 2 x SWL 240 ts 14 m
Grommets 4 x SWL 100 ts 2 m Shackles
8 x SWL 150 ts

Example of a Lashing Calculation
The lashing calculation illustrates that the intended lashing system conforms
with rules and regulations.

A case study at GAC:
9-week journey of a 200 mts
crane from Norway to China

11
Power of CAD demonstrated
The Client: A Dubai-based supply ship
owner serving the oil and gas
market
The Job:
To move a 200 mts Knuckle-
Boom crane (35.77 X 5.97 X
14.00 metres) from Norway
to China
The Challenge:
Need to build a solid
foundation or cradle for the
safe shipment of the crane
The Outcome : The crane was loaded and
shipped safely to China
within nine weeks. The
loading operation including
lashings took five hours
12
Power of CAD demonstrated
We received the following drawings together with pictures of the crane.
Challenges:
Very poor drawing with un-readable measurements
Drawing stating that crane resting on the crane-house
Picture only states that crane is very large

Here’s how we did it!
1. Survey the object and the terminal – by Day 3

3. Plan in CAD
Sketches of the crane, the terminal and location of the crane were drawn in our CAD
software

3. Plan in CAD
Having the crane and new supports in the CAD software, we could put them
together to a shipment drawing.

Here’s how we did it!
3. Plan in CAD
A shifting plan was issued in order to have the crane in a reachable position.
24
Here’s how we did it!
4. Ready for the trip to China
It took almost 8 weeks to fabricate the supports.
Meanwhile we booked the crane with a Carrier with a given laycan as well as
shifted the crane with the new cradles.

Here’s how we did it!
4. Ready for the trip to China
Only nine weeks after the initial contact with the customer, the crane was
loaded and shipped to China.
The loading operation including lashings took five hours.

Summing up
Projects logistics is about controlling variables. The better
you can control them, the better you can control the
situation. And it all starts with planning
Planning ensures that every technical, safety, environmental,
and operational aspect has been covered prior to the move
taking place
Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) eliminates the time,
expense and effort involved in a conventional trial-and-error
approach
