Safe and Efficient Marine Survey for Heavy Transformers
At Walc, we specialize in ensuring that complex and heavy cargo operations are carried out safely, efficiently, and according to international standards. Recently, our team was trusted with a significant project: a marine discharging survey for three massive transformers, each weighing close to 300 tons.
Discharging of 3pc of almost 300ton transformers.
Planning and Preparation Are Key
When handling heavy lift cargo of this scale, thorough planning and preparation are absolutely essential. Every aspect of the operation — from vessel stability to lifting equipment and coordination between parties — must be carefully assessed in advance. Even the smallest oversight can create risks, so our surveyors ensure that all safety measures are in place before operations begin.
Seamless Cooperation for a Safe Operation
In projects involving oversized and heavy cargo, collaboration is just as important as technical expertise. For this discharging survey, smooth cooperation between the vessel crew, stevedores, logistics providers, and our survey team was crucial. Thanks to effective communication and careful supervision, the unloading process proceeded without delays or incidents.
Safe Storage and Forward Transportation
Once the transformers were discharged from the vessel, they were safely stored onshore, awaiting onward transportation to their final installation sites. By monitoring the entire process, our surveyors ensured that the valuable equipment remained protected throughout the operation.
