Malin Abraham have chosen to upgrade the ballast system on board the CD01 semisubmersible barge, to add a high Sea chest, to allow the safe grounding of the barge during operations.
The project brief required the integration of a new sea chest, placed high on the hull of the CD01, to allow for safe grounding operations. The design and integration were to be executed against a fixed milestone which marked the beginning of a new campaign for the CD01.
The challenge involved multiple complex stages, starting with an initial inspection and an accurate 3D laser scan. Securing approval for all drawings from Lloyd’s Register and creating detailed material lists required strict compliance and precision. The project culminated in crafting a thorough installation procedure and scheduling for implementation in Rotterdam.
GLO Marine played an important role in managing all stakeholders and communicating efficiently back and forth between project phases to maximise the utilisation of the project window.
Malin Abram have reached their goal of integrating the new high sea chest on board the CD01, making the vessel more versatile, to allow the safe grounding of the vessel during operation. They have expressed their extreme satisfaction towards GLO Marine’s technical capabilities, whilst at the same time appreciating GLO’s ability to visualise complex scenarios and accurately plan the complete set of works of a retrofit, from design to installation.
