New Saudi shipyard to get TTS transfer system

The TTS equipment will be designed to optimize the smooth transfer of offshore and other commercial vessels that are increasingly being built to carry heavier loads, typically distributing weight unevenly along the keel length. Delivery will therefore comprise a fluid bed system with trolleys that distribute and even out peak loads on the shiplift platform, with winches on each side to help avoid overloading during lifting. The equipment will not only enable efficient docking and transfer of vessels at the yard but will also be used for block handling during production of newbuildings. The total lifting capacity will be 8160 tons. The contract has a value of about 28m NOK and will be supplied in first half of 2013.
