Liftboat from China to the Persian Gulf
TSL matched a 3,600 MT liftboat with a semi-submersible barge already heading to the Persian Gulf, delivering it safely and on time.
The challenge
Specialized semi-submersible moves require extensive know-how and attention to detail. Service providers for this type of cargo are scarce, and finding one positioned to minimize ballast is even rarer.
Our solution
TSL found an Asian-owned semi-submersible barge that needed to mobilize to the Persian Gulf for another job, making this the perfect positioning voyage. After the initial selection, a second phase of technical exchange required great care and effort from every party involved.
The result
Engineering services were provided by a German team, and TSL was honored to be part of the move from start to finish, joining the client at the arrival ceremony as the liftboat was safely re-floated on time.
- Client trust that let TSL lead the vessel selection process and deliver solutions and offers quickly.
- The ability to match cargo with a vessel already repositioning, avoiding a costly ballast voyage.
