Service Introduction
Whether for multiple modular cargo shipments or a one-off shipment of heavy or oversized cargo, Longitude has a long track record in marine transportation design and engineering. Our experience covers all types of vessels, from flat top barges, semi-sub vessels, module carriers, and heavy lift crane vessels.
Often provided together with installation engineering, Longitude also supports a wide array of complex marine transportation projects, with the aim of safeguarding your assets on route and mitigating risk to a reasonable minimum.
Marine Transportation Challenges
- Increasing weight and size of equipment and modular cargo:
This requires more complex and resilient design and engineering solutions to safeguard assets in transit. - Climate change and hostile sea states:
As meteorological conditions worsen with climate change, forensic understanding of metocean data and informed design decisions are crucial. - Cost pressures:
Maritime and offshore energy projects are under constant pressure to reduce costs incurred from delays and/or damages. Detailed transportation engineering provides advanced risk mitigation for future transportation operations. - Supply chain competition causing longer distances:
With an increasingly competitive supply chain, projects are looking further afield to ever-wider global supply chains, meaning longer marine transportation distances.
