Altius completed the transport operation of 5 catamaran molds, weighing a total of over 30 tons, from the port of Antalya, Turkey, to the shipyard in Alicante, Spain.
Due to their dimensions, road transport from the commercial port to the shipyard for two of the molds was not feasible, so we proposed a solution based on a non-self-propelled modular pontoon, avoiding the need to split the units. During the planning and engineering stage, our scope included supplying the Maritime Authority with the requested stability study of the pontoon and a towing study based on an official tugboat, which addressed the extreme draft restrictions for accessing the shipyard. The two towing trips were carried out on the same day, ensuring efficient delivery to the shipyard.
Despite the challenges, we always seek innovative and efficient solutions to overcome any obstacles.
