Aircraft Carrier Hull

onboard Heavy Transport Vessel (HTV) delivery to Australia

Blue Marlin, the largest semi-submersible HTV available to
date, is to load shortly the Navantia manufactured hull (230 meters in length)

A complex technical challenge emerged: the aircraft carrier
hull was calculated to protrude 55 meters from the aft end of the Blue Marlin.
To meet this challenge Dockwise marine engineers had to work closely with the
Navantia team to develop a new grillage and sea-fastening design to safeguard
the hull against forces that may be encountered on the voyage.
