The level of difficulty involved in getting your cargo from shore to a vessel and off again depends on variables ranging from the cargo and vessel type to the method chosen, port facilities and weather conditions.
This course will first provide an overview of the methods used in offshore construction and how you decide which might be right for your project as well those considerations common to all operations. Then for each method we'll address:
How it works and practical considerations.
Port/vessel/cargo compatibility.
Common technical, logistical and commercial risks.
Operational responsibilities.
Engineering required.
Rules-of-thumb for checking early-stage feasibility.
Level: The course is intended for those making early decisions around the feasibility of different loadout methods, planning a loadout operation, commissioning loadout engineering or reviewing the loadout plans and engineering prepared by others. Industry or prior knowledge is not essential. However, a technical background and a basic knowledge of ports and ships is useful.
Format: Online self-directed learning, spanning 6 hrs of in-depth videos split into easily digestible 20 min segments and accompanied by helpful PDF downloads and examples allowing you to progress at your own pace and dip in-and-out as work commitments allow.
