EZ Link Handle Passenger Ship from Taiwan to Philippines




EZ Link (PCN members in Taiwan) have handled a passenger ship on a heavy lift vessel from Taipei Port to Subic in Philippines.
The passenger ship was shipped water-to-water using 2 x 400mt cranes. It measures 33.37 x 10.00 x 15.45m / 290wt.
The project involved:
-
Monitoring of weather & sea state to ensure conditions are within safe limits (wind, swell, visibility),
-
4 divers in the water to secure slings evenly and check balance in the underwater hull,
-
After slings where secured safely, the boat was raised slightly out of the water to confirm balance and load security,
-
A careful swing and hoist operation to move the load over the deck using controlled crane movements conducted by the vessel port captain located in a pilot boat surrounding the heavy lift vessel,
-
Ensuring an even weight distribution and proper alignment while the ship was landing on deck,
-
Utilising tag lines to lower the boat onto pre-positioned supports and cradle on deck.
