Service Introduction
The cost of project delays, damage or loss of assets can cause significant damage to a project’s long-term commercial feasibility. At Longitude, we blend multidisciplined design and engineering expertise, ship design know-how, and extensive practical experience in marine operations to provide a comprehensive offering in mobilisation engineering and design. Our expert services are deployed to ensure the optimised, secure and efficient delivery of a vessel or assets to site, ultimately driving value to your bottom line.
Our services may be delivered to support transportation and installation (T&I), operations and maintenance (O&M) and decommissioning projects. Our experience covers a wide range of asset and project equipment types and sizes, with a significant portfolio in mobilisation engineering for subsea cable lay.
Our holistic approach perfectly equips Longitude to provide operationally-fit-for-purpose design.
Mobilisation Engineering Challenges
- Project start-up delays:
Due to logistical issues, congested marine markets and a supply chain in demand, effective mobilisation engineering can support in reducing the risk of downtime and delay to project schedules. - Cost pressures:
With delays comes unforeseen cost, whereas mobilisation engineering supports optimised design decisions to drive efficiency and safety in mobilisation operations, again mitigating risk to cost. - New and unknown geographies:
As marine projects move further offshore and into new markets, there is an increasing risk of unknown territory, further distances and more hostile environmental conditions, impacting project logistics. - Growing volumes of infrastructure:
Require innovative and robust mobilisation engineering solutions to ensure the safety of assets in transit. - Suitable vessel availability:
In an increasingly busy marine landscape, the availability of suitable vessels can be challenging, especially to meet growing capacity requirements.
