How operate a Ship-lift?
ANIMATION OF THE In the following, we will try to explain briefly the steps
that take place during the lifting and launching operation
SHIPLIFT OPERATIONS of mega yachts.

In order to lift up a mega vessel, the first phase is to
submerge the platform up to the sea bed draft height
and after the vessel can move to moor inside the dock.
Mooring can be assisted by cabstains winches installed
along the dock walls.
Afterward vessel mooring, platform rises until the keel
blocks and engages the ship.
Now the vessel is secured and can be lifted up to quay
elevation by winches and transported on the yard by
land carrier system.
After the steel platform is secured by blocks; the land
carrier can drive in platform below the mega yacht and
engages the trestles by hydraulic jacks.
With this condition accomplished, the land carrier
transports the vessel to the destination yard’s slot.
Launching procedure is as above reversal.
