LIFT OPERATIONS
A crane vessel is required *
Minor lifts
Heavy lifts (dry wt 50 t) *
Pre-rigging at fabricators
The lift-off *
Up-ending a jacket *
Setting the module *

TYPICAL MODULES
Jackets *
Piles
Spacer frames
Decks *
Box-shaped modules *
Bridges *
Skids *
Towers
JACKET INSTALLATION
Transporting method is dictated by the
jacket size
1. S : vertical transportation & ditto lift-off
2. M: horizontal transp. & dry up-ending *
3. L : horizontal transp. & wet up-ending *
4. XL: launched jackets & wet up-ending *
5. Setting or docking the jacket

ASSESSING SAFETY
First we need to define and
understand what safety is
We then assess the safety level for
the case, if we can
Safety is opposite to risk
So, if one can not assess the safety
level, maybe assessing the risk
level is possible

For an event that causes local damage to the unit or light injuries to
personnel.
For an event that causes large damage to the unit or serious
personnel injuries.
For an event threatening the integrity of the unit or causes
fatalities.
For an event that causes loss of the unit and/or a number of
fatalities.
For an event that causes loss of the unit and/or a very large number
of fatalities.
