The world’s largest heavy transport vessel loaded the biggest semi-submersible offshore platform hull for its maiden voyage, ship owner Dockwise Ltd. said.
The Dockwise Vanguard completed its first float-on operation this week at the Silli-Do deep hole near the Samsung Heavy Industries yard in Geoje, South Korea, the Breda, Netherlands-based company said in a statement today. After almost two days of fastening, the vessel departed on Feb. 12 and will sail to the Kiewit yard in Ingleside, Texas. It is expected to arrive mid-April, according to the statement.
