Eleven tugs have been transported on one vessel from Asia to Europe in a rare major logistical operation that was all Dutch in achievement. Dutch firm BigLift Shipping B.V. deployed its 156m heavy-lift vessel Happy Star to transport the 11 Damen tugs, with two heavy-lift mast cranes weighing 1,100 tonnes each on board. On April 4, Happy Star set sail from Damen’s shipyard in Halong Bay in Vietnam for Europe., and arrived in Vigo, Spain just 38 days later. One vessel was unloaded there before she continued to Rotterdam to unload the remaining 10 on May 19. Happy Star can lift up to 2,200 mt in tandem lift, with a lifting height of nearly 47m above the main deck. With a weather deck extending over the full width of the vessel, her load space can be used to the utmost and she can sail with open weather deck hatches on a draught of up to 8m. The vessel has Finnish/Swedish 1A Ice Class notation. “These mass deliveries do not take place often as it is rare that so many vessels are ready to be dispatched at the same time,” said Damen Services Heavylift coordinator Rimmert Berlijn. “The last such event occurred in 2015 when Happy Star transported 22 vessels of various types on the same route." “However, this brings advantages versus delivering vessels on their own hulls. These include having the vessels and their equipment arriving in pristine condition. The marine environment also benefits from having fewer emissions with just one ship, albeit a larger one, doing all the work. These outcomes align well with Damen’s commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.” Read the full story on Maritime Journal; https://lnkd.in/ewt97NrZ

What’s the best way to make sure you’re not going wrong? Check. Your ship may be ready for the longest voyage, but preparing for it is not just about your vessel. Preparing your vessel for times of need becomes the primary responsibility. Even for lifeboats that crop up, the idea is to ensure that they are checked for all deficiencies and ready to respond in case there arise any questions. Marinetech conducts complete checks on lifeboats and davits to ensure, that in times of need you are never left wanting.

Hi Fellow Seafarers! Today, I'd like to share an essential #CrewTip that I've learned through my own experiences. When you're working in the tight quarters of a vessel, setting clear personal boundaries is as vital as checking the weather forecast before you set sail!  Why, you ask? Well, let me break it down in simple terms: 1. It Prevents Misunderstandings: Just like charting your course on a map, setting boundaries helps everyone on board understand what's acceptable and what's not. No one wants to navigate a sea of confusion, right?  2. It Avoids Conflicts: Clashing with your shipmates in cramped spaces can lead to rough waters.   3. Clear boundaries help maintain a peaceful coexistence, even when things get choppy. Always have bullets in 3’s So, here's the deal: Always make sure to respect each other's personal space, clearly communicate your limits, and be ready to adjust your sails when necessary! By doing this, you ensure smooth sailing and harmony on board. And remember, a united crew is a happy crew! 

Life may get topsy turvy, but always believe in yourself and your skills dear seafarers, there is always a new beginning around. #bcs #marineindustry #belatrixcrewingservices #shippingindustry #shipping #crewmanagement #crewing #crewchange

New Blog post! Last time, we went off watch with the thoughts that some crewing issues should merit further attention, and perhaps now is a good time to dive deeper into the crucial issue of ship crew abandonment. 👷♀️👷♂️🚢 Read the full blog here 👉https://lnkd.in/guHTb5AQ #shipcrew #monthlyblog #marineinsurance #coastalmarine

Today on another edition of our routine spaces discussions we had the Sailors Lounge a segment where seafarers have the opportunity to bring up topics from any aspect of the maritime industry for discussion. Some of the topics discussed tonight are: ° The long stay at sea for seafarers where companies refuse/delay sending a reliever. ° The need for proper regulation of the influx of people joining the seafaring profession as it makes way for incompetent and half-baked seafarers. The scarcity of the seaman's discharge booklet.

From tugs and harbour launchers to larger multicast and offshore crew transfer vessels (CTV's), the workboat sector plays an incredibly important part in supporting offshore and in-port operations. Operators of coastal and offshore workboat vessels often work in rough seas and harsh environments and require highly reliable and effective equipment and technology in these unique environments. AST helps workboat vessels plan, administer and monitor vessel maintenance and servicing tasks in near real-time with automated reporting. We have tailored solutions specifically for the workboat sector so that companies have peace of mind, knowing that their vessels and crew are operating safely and efficiently.
