Mammoet has partnered with Tugdock Submersible Platforms to expand the use of Tugdock’s modular submersible platform for marine and offshore wind industries.
The Tugdock Submersible Platform (TSP) is a modular buoyancy system that allows large floating structures to be transferred from quaysides into the water, supporting controlled load-in and load-out operations.
Units can be joined to create platforms up to 120m by 120m with lift capacity of 30,000 tonnes, and node points able to withstand loads of 350 tonnes.
Mammoet said the technology can extend quaysides, provide floating jetties and act as temporary offloading points for offshore wind projects, where permanent infrastructure is not feasible.
Offshore services general manager Barnaby Mills said: “We’ve followed Tugdock’s progress for some time and have been impressed by its innovation, particularly in offshore wind. The TSP system also brings clear advantages to other marine sectors where Mammoet already operates.”
Tugdock chief executive Shane Carr said: “While our initial focus has been on offshore wind, we see strong potential in many other industries. Working with Mammoet confirmed our shared vision: to scale this innovation to the global market across multiple sectors.”
The partners said the collaboration will also support applications in oil and gas, defence, civil engineering, LNG and space.
