Marine Heavy Transport & Lift 2005
20 - 21 September 2005, London, UK
The need to lift and transport increasingly large and hevy components has led to the design of several "Heavy Lift" ships. These components can be anything from dockside cranes and oil platforms to damaged vessels or anything too big to be carried on a conventional cargo ship. The carriage of such large items presents a variety of problems that must be overcome by the naval architect. Each type of item presents a different selection of problems and requires a different solutions.
The conference aims to bring together naval architects, operators, warranty surveyors and design enginers to examine the various issues and design solutions. The following papers were presented at the conference;
