PROJECT:
Vessel Appraisal & Selection
A SQUARED
make it happen.
Our client had a requirement to find a suitable DP2 Offshore Construction Vessel to mobilise a complex spread of mechanical equipment for seabed geotechnical sampling.

The Challenge

500 tonnes of launch and recovery/sample handling ​equipment to be mobilised onto an OCV. Sample
handling system required a number of mechanical equipment items to interface with tight
dimensional tolerances. Ideal candidate vessel requirements included suitable deck space, deck capacity for equipment loads, accomodation and project office space.
Why A Squared?

Putting heavy mechanical equipment on vessels is routine for the A SQUARED team. We will:
​
•  Create sensible & workable deck plans
•  Identify engineering issues early in a project being transparent and honest at all times
•  Help the Client select the best vessel
The Solution
​
The A Squared team applied our extensive
knowledge and experience to:
​
•  Quickly eliminate vessels that were not suitable
•  Carefully assess suitable candidate vessels
•  List them in order of compliance with  requirements
•  Select the most suitable vessel and carry out a survey. This  mitigates against surprises during project execution phase.

Key Achievements
​

A Squared selected the most suitable vessel available for the client’s requirements. We identified potential issues early on and provided the Client with an in-depth understanding of what the implications of our findings would be at the later stages of the project.

By carrying out a vessel survey, we were able to identify inconsistencies between as-built drawings and vessel structure, an exercise for which the value cannot be overstated.
