SAIBOS DOCKING FRAME

Triton were contracted by DCD Dorbyl, on behalf of SAIPEM to perform all necessary docking calculations, selection and placing of docking blocks, and to design a stern docking frame capable of supporting 2000 tonnes at a height of 8m above the dock floor.

To ensure the docking loads were quantified, the structure was fully instrumented with submersible strain gauges, for the duration of the docking process.
