Case Studies
Float On - Float Off Cargo Operation
Intermarine’s semi-submersible Ro-Ro vessel, the Industrial Achiever, loads a flat bottom survey vessel at Galveston for Point Lisas, Trinidad. With a weight of 225 metric tons, the vessel was loaded using the Float on - Float off capability of this highly specialized ship in the fleet of Industrial Maritime Carriers. Once in Point Lisas, the vessel was floated off.
The Industrial Achiever is a shallow draft Ro-Ro, Lo-Lo, Flo-Flo vessel with a DWT of about 4400 tons and a double skinned hold (boxtype) with a length of 86.65 meters. Its stern ramp can handle loads up to 650 tons.
Following is a photo sequence of the loading operations in Galveston.
