History of heavy lift lo/lo ships 1929: S.S. “Lichtenfels” of DDG Hansa with 120 mt lifting boom for locomotives 1978: M.V. “Trifels” of DDG Hansa with two 320 mt Stuelcken derricks 1980: DDG Hansa went bankrupt, leaving Mammoet Shipping and Jumbo Shipping as the only remaining heavy lift lo/lo specialists of importance in that time 2015:

Selecting a heavy cargo ship - size, volume, deck space - deck strength - speed (transit time) - canal passage limitation - passage of bridges on the voyage (air draft) - port restriction for length, width, draft / quay height - crane capacity and required outreach - age (eventual cargo insurance requirements) - reputation of the ship and her owners

Question: does it shift or not ?
Fs
FF
FP
FS = sliding force FG = gravity force FP = perpendicular force FF = friction force
15
FG
Cosinus (90 - 15) = FS / FG
FS = 100 ton x cosinus 75 = 26 ton
Cosinus 15 = FP / FG
FP = 100 ton x cosinus 15 = 97 ton
FF = Phi x FP
FF = 0.35 x 97 = 34 ton
CONCLUSION: FF > FS
The module does not shift
Phi = friction coefficient
Phi wood/steel = 0.35 Phi teflon/teflon = 0.04

better D/d ratio for slings/grommets on the bow not suitable for connecting grommets
42
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
Diameter/diameter ratio Bending a wire reduces the strength Eb = 1 – 0.5/ √D/d Eb = bending efficiency D = Diameter pin (or object) d = diameter wire
43
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
Important ! This reduction is for the MBL and not for the WLL MBL = Minimum Break Load WLL = Working Load Limit note: WLL includes the design factor (formerly safety factor)
WLL = MBL / DESIGN FACTOR (typical design factor = 5)

Design Factor -

Rigging weight calculation The weight of the rigging (beams, spreaders, grommets, shackles) can easily reach up to 100 mt or even more and has to be added to the weight of the load during lifting - maximum crane capacity / reach - influence on stability (MG-value) - influence on required ballast water during lifting

Ship stability during lifting The Center of Gravity can change dramatically during a lifting operation with the ship’s cranes Therefore increased stability may be required
58
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
Stability calculations have to be made for a
worst-case scenario - crane jibs in highest position - (unfavorable) ballast conditions during transfer

Ship stability
Why does a vessel float in water ?
61
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
Archimedes 287 BC - 212 BC
The (practical) rule of Archimedes The upward (B)uoyancy force on a vessel in a fluid is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
Generally regarded as the greatest mathematician and scientist of antiquity and one of the three greatest mathematicians of all time Archimedes' principle indicates that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces
62
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
In floating condition forces G and B are equal and in one vertical line
.G
.B
G = Center of Gravity B = Center of Buoyancy
Definition of ship stability The ability of the ship to resist the overturning forces she encounters
63
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
Ship stability can be subdivided into longitudinal stability transverse stability initial static stability ( < 7 degrees) dynamic stability ( > 7 degrees)
Longitudinal stability - trim - hogging - sagging 64
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
Transverse initial static stability for lists of < 7 degrees
Initial static stability (practical rule) During lifting operations of heavy cargo the minimum required static stability (M above G) has to be > 1 meter
65
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
(M)etacenter Metacenter is the point where lines intersect of upward force of buoyancy and the center line of the ship (virtual transverse rotation point of the ship)
66
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
If the vessel is forced to list, the position of B changes G and B are now not any more in one vertical line This results in a righting moment

How to manipulate (increase) the MG value of a lo/lo heavy cargo ship -

Different lashing systems should never be mixed for securing in the same direction!
During the sea voyage actual accelerations can be measured with the Octopus Ship Motion Monitoring and Advisory System -
connected to (3) acceleration sensors in the ship linked with GPS linked with SPOS
GPS = Global Positioning System SPOS (Ship Performance Optimisation System) is the world’s leading onboard weather routing system taking into account weather, ocean current and ship characteristics (in combination with ECDIS = Electronic Chart Display and Information System)
87
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
Safetrans program calculates the maximum expected accelerations for a certain duration of the voyage in a designated sea area in order to simplify securing requirements reducing severe North Atlantic (DNV) rules
(always in consultation with clients and eventual warranty surveyors)
Deck strength calculations The footprint of heavy cargo can result in point pressure and stressing the ship’s deck strength -
load spreaders/deck pillars may have to be installed supports may be required
88
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
Process safety -
visually inspect the entire gear, spooling devices, sheaves, swivels prevent slipping of wires over bollards / hook during rigging run the bight of grommets over the ram and never around the shaft secure all other cargo items, stacked pontoons, equipment, etc. ‘clean’ the deck and organize / remove all loose items in the area always start with fully charged radios slightly slack the breast lines check ballast system, tank soundings and capacities never exceed the WLL (Working Load Limit) decide on a cut-off time, considering darkness and weather condition only necessarily required persons on board (ballast water on one side) determine dangerous locations reduce disturbing noise (forklifts, trucks, trailers, ventilation fans) safety/toolbox meeting 89
Heavy Lift Technical Workshop: Ocean Transport
Personal safety -
wear protective clothing, helmet, safety shoes, harness, gloves, goggles be aware of the dangerous areas, especially during heavy lift movements strictly follow the instructions from the ship’s management never step backwards on a ship’s deck without carefully watching never walk underneath a load never run on a ship’s deck never enter a hold or enclosed space without a ship’s representative stay away from any welding/grinding work during a heavy lift operation stay on the quay at a safe distance ! be always alert in this dynamic environment !
