Place Sharjah, UAE
Period Completed in December 2009.
Initial Stability Assessment:
Initial Stability check has been carried out for the loading condition, the mean draft of this loading condition is at 4.80m. The vessel displacement is 3621mT.
Angle of heel for overboard lifting
Angle of heel has been checked for a 20mT load on the hook with a radius of 10m, while lifting over the port side. The angle of heel is 1.73 deg due to this lift and max draft port side is 5.2m, compared to summer draft of 5.60m.
Sea fastening loads
Sea fastening loads on the crane is estimated using default motion criteria as per Nobel Denton Guidelines for marine transportation
Design of stoppers
The two transverse stoppers have to take a load of 35.5mT each & longitudinal stoppers have to take a load of 18.4mT each.
