SAL Highlights 2015 Projects
SAL Heavy Lift highlighted some of the “magnificent projects” completed in 2015 in its reflection on the year, including the offshore gas platform installation project for the Kitchen Lights Unit, which took place over the summer.
Here, SAL designed and installed a mooring system for the installation vessel in a strong tidal current; prepared temporary living quarters for 60 people onboard; and managed the lift and installation of the three main parts of the construction.
Another project highlighted was the transport and partial installation of two Ardelt Tukan 3000 slewing cranes with its flagship, the Lone. After shipping the cranes from Bremen, Germany, to Corpus Christi, Texas, U.S. it utilized tandem lift to install the machinery houses.
In Northern Europe, SAL managed the loading of several CCB cranes for transportation to South East Asia. The biggest challenge, said SAL, was the huge volume of the cranes as well as the tight positioning next to the vessel’s cranes.
In Vietnam, SAL’s type 183, type 176 and type 161 vessels were involved in a series of shipments of 270,000 tons of heavy cargo for a refinery and petrochemical complex project, which included units weighing up to 1,100 tons each.
Floating cargo also accounted for a great deal of SAL’s business in 2015. This included the transportation of 10 yachts, including one 56-meter yacht from Genoa, Italy, to Hong Kong and the shipment of eight large tugboats on board Svenja from South Africa to North Europe.
