Simplifying Float-over: Versatile Ballast System
Mammoet recently introduced its Versatile Ballast System, something it says is an improved ballast system that simplifies and combines ballasting for load-out and float-over operations. It is a sophisticated, yet simple, fully modularized system that is easily installed and fits any barge without the need for modifications. The system uses one equipment set-up that is able to perform both ballasting operations. This significantly shortens the period for installation and decommissioning of the system on the barge, ultimately saving on barge rental time.
Mammoet to Debut Ballast System at OTC
Mammoet, a global company in Engineered Heavy Lifting and Transport, announced that it will introduce its new Versatile Ballast System during the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston. As Mammoet points out, the installation of offshore platforms by float-over-method can be time consuming and costly. Now, Mammoet introduces an improved ballast system that simplifies and combines ballasting for load-out and float-over operations: the Mammoet Versatile Ballast System, a fully modularized system that is easily installed and fits any barge without the need for modifications.
