A large-scale marine transportation project for the Korea Coast Guard has been completed following a month-long operation involving roll-on transportation, launching, and wet tow activities across multiple locations in Korea.
The project was carried out in three major phases covering Shinan, Yeosu, and Mokpo. In the first stage, a floating dock (FD) weighing about 10,000 tonnes was rolled onto a 200 m LOA self-propelled vessel in Shinan.
The second phase involved transporting the FD to Yeosu, where the structure was rolled out onto a large floating dock. Launching operations were then conducted using the floating dock as the transfer platform.
Following the successful launch, the final phase consisted of a wet tow operation from Yeosu to the Korea Coast Guard pier in Mokpo. The marine spread for the project included towing tugs and auxiliary tugs supporting the towage and positioning work.
The entire transportation and marine operation was completed over approximately one month, with the floating dock safely delivered to the Korea Coast Guard.
