Glossary
A load-out is the operation of moving a fabricated structure — a jacket, module, topside or vessel section — from the quay onto a barge or heavy-transport vessel, by skidding, by self-propelled modular trailers (SPMTs), by lifting, or by floating. The engineering controls the barge ballast against the tide so the link beams stay within tolerance at every step.
Skid or trailer reactions and the quay and barge deck strength; the ballast sequence and barge trim, heel and draft at each step; barge longitudinal strength and intact stability at every stage; mooring loads on the barge; and the sea-fastening that follows once the cargo is in position.
