Layout / Flexibility
Lifting Capacity There are 2 main groups of Transfer Systems for ships or other heavy objects, this are:
There are many factors that decide how many tonnes a system can lift, this is a simplified way to show 1. Rail systems

2. Rail-less systems
Layout / Flexibility This is without rails, and can therefore move more freely around the yard, and have the possibility to

needs.

Layout
A yard layout should be designed to maximize the
number of vessel it can dry dock, while keeping it`s
flexibility to dock/undock ships.

The two images below, show the same shipyard with

rails and tyres. In this case the layout with the transfer
system on rails blocks in other ships. With the transfer
systems on tyres, you can access all ships in the layout.

In the image to the right, you can see an example of a

rail layout where all ships can be accessed. It depends
on the space accessible on your yard if you should
choose rails or tyres, our expertise is here to help you
