HIBERNIA MODULES LOAD-OUT

Project Summary

In November 1994, a total of six Hibernia sub-modules were loaded onto the ocean-going barge AMT DISCOVERER at the Finland Industries construction yard in Marystown, Newfoundland. The weight of the modules ranged from 150 to 250 t. For the load-out, self-propelled hydraulic dollies were used. These dollies were positioned under the strong points of the sub-modules. Special truss work type support frames were used for the drill floors.
