The oil and gas industry, over the past 25 years, has moved from shallow water exploration and production of oil to ever greater depths. Each advance requires new designs to explore and produce hydrocarbon from deep beneath the ocean floor. The marine industry rose to the challenge of lifting, transporting and delivering the diverse structures from shore side construction facilities to on location stations several hundred miles offshore in deep ocean environments. The self propelled Float On / Float Off “Flo / Flo” or “heavy lift“ vessels owned and operated by the Dockwise division of Boskalis are unique vessels that employ a watertight main hull and deck.The vessel can submerge to allow cargo to float over the main deck and be lifted free of the ocean surface as the heavy lift vessel is deballasted. Attend this presentation and enjoy an educational and impressive view of this seldom witnessed vessel type and its achievements.
