Principles of Heavy Lifting, Transport, Shipping and Offshore Construction
Principles of Heavy Lifting, Transport, Shipping and Offshore Construction
Overview
From seller to site, heavy transportation and
lifting involves a variety of specialized load
handling equipment and qualified people. From
contract signing to project execution all aspects
of heavy transport and lifting affect the overall
project.
This course is designed to train personnel and
organizations involved with heavy lifting and
transports to work more efficient, effective and
safer.

THE TRAINER
Rob Hoekstra
SEACAMEL FOUNDER
Rob Hoekstra is the founder of SEACAMEL Maritime
Engineering a company providing services and training for
the maritime industries since 2009. He has wide experience
with other fortune companies such as Dockwise, Boskalis, Subsea 7, “Heerema
Fabrication Group Engineering”, Mammoet, ALE Heavy Lifting, etc. Heavy lifting
and transportation, maritime, offshore and insurance industries are fields that
he's specialized in.
With over 25 years of industrial experience, many organizations have benefited
from Rob Hoekstra, such as: salvage companies, companies involved in design,
offshore installation, construction and operation of ships, barges and offshore
structures, cargo owners, warranty surveyors and legal firms.

Principles of heavy lifting, transport, shipping and
Offshore construction.
OVERVIEW
Characteristic for heavy lifting is the absence of standardization, which requires
unique transport planning and multidiscipline preparation for each project
Oversized and impossible to split over different scheduled services they need to
be transported from one place to another and then lifted or installed into place.
Such undertaking requires:
· Planning
· The procedure and techniques of handling heavy lifting
· Teamwork and team coordination
· Investigation and preparation of the infrastructure
· Equipment selection and preparation
· Awareness of safety, rules, regulations and legislation
Excellent engineering and dedicated project management are truly indispensable
elements in preparing, planning and executing projects of this nature. Special
sets of skills and knowledge are required to undertake such projects. From
engineers who want to broaden and elevate their knowledge to project
managers who are overall responsible, this workshop equips and furnishes
participants with the necessary tools, skills and understanding to undertake such
projects.

SETUP
The seminar is divided in modules which are all related to the preparation and
safe execution of heavy lifting, transport and shipping.
For in-company trainings, you may decide that a one- or two-day training would
be more applicable. Just handpick the modules of interest to create the training
suitable for your organization.

MODULES
General Knowledge
A brief overview of the topics that will be discussed.
Environmental Conditions
What are environmental conditions, how do they affect our work
and how to deal with it?
Trailers
What types of trailers are around? What is the difference between
an SPMT and a pull type trailer? How do they work? How many do
you need for a transport? Will that transport be stabile? What truck
do you need? All these questions will be addressed during this
module.

TRAINING SCHEME
The standard open training takes 2, 3 or 4 days. Most people experience the 3
day training as intensive. The 4 day training, which in addition includes the
modules Cost control, Planning and Offshore Installation, allows for going deeper
into the subjects and questions raised by the attendees.

For the 2d training, most subjects related to shipping and offshore are skipped
and the modules are at a more basic level. Engineering skills enhancements is
still a mayor topic.
