The floating dock ex-Swan Hunter Shipyard was loaded with the floating crane, other cranes from the shipyard and then towed to New Castle port where the dock was loaded onto semi-submersible vessel, M.V. OSPREY, alongside berth. After loading operation, the dock was secured on board semi-submersible.
The semi-submersible vessel carried the dock to Dabhol port and then offloaded it in deep waters (approx 20 metres depth) off Dabhol port. The task of offloading in offshore waters in the month of May was quite challenging due to strong wind and waves. For offloading operation, the semi-submersible vessel M. V. OSPREY was held in position by anchoring and with the help of powerful tugs. After the offloading operation, the dock was towed by powerful tugs to the shipyard and then secured to berth.
