Load-Out Engineering

Our engineers produce optimised deck layouts that account for cargo dimensions, vessel stability, access requirements, and operational sequencing. We work with vessel operators to maximise deck utilisation while maintaining safe clearances and access routes.

We develop rigging arrangements and comprehensive lift plans for equipment, structures, and ancillary items loaded onto installation vessels. Each plan includes sling and shackle selections, rigging configurations, crane capacity checks, lift radii, and sequencing to ensure operations remain within safe working limits. Our plans cover individual and tandem lifts with weight reports, centre of gravity calculations, and dynamic amplification factors, developed in coordination with vessel crane operators for offshore execution.

We perform load-out/transpooling analyses covering cable transfer between storage facilities and vessel carousels/baskets or vessel to vessel transfers. We perform time domain dynamic simulations to deeply understand cable integrity for various back tensions or water depth targets for the cable belly. We also perform fleet angle assessments, quayside mooring analysis and contingency assessments to understand reaction times. Combined, we ensure product integrity.
