Two stainless steel chemical tanker hulls have been successfully discharged at Waalhaven in Rotterdam, with SafeSystems B.V. providing engineering support for the heavy-lift operation.

The Netherlands-based marine engineering company was responsible for padeye design, local deck strengthening, rigging plans and lifting calculations required to support the unloading process.

The engineering work addressed lifting arrangements and structural requirements associated with handling the two tanker hulls.

SafeSystems, which has 40 years of experience in marine and heavy-lift engineering, provides technical services for complex lifting operations, vessel discharge and project cargo handling.

The company did not disclose the weight or dimensions of the hulls, the identities of the vessels involved, or the completion date of the operation.
