Heavy-Lift Transport Project: Relocation of 04 Tukan Portal Slewing Cranes
The heavy-lift marine transport and relocation project of 04 Tukan portal slewing cranes from Hoang Dieu Port to Lach Huyen Port and Chua Ve Port represents a resounding success for Tan Cang Tech, demonstrating comprehensive engineering mastery in specialized heavy equipment handling and waterway project cargo logistics.
Throughout project execution, despite numerous unexpected technical and logistical challenges, Tan Cang Tech and its joint venture partners rapidly deployed effective engineering countermeasures, safely executing the project ahead of schedule and earning high praise from the project owner.
Project Overview
Client / Project Owner: Hai Phong Port Joint Stock Company (Cang Hai Phong)
Locations: Hoang Dieu Port, Chua Ve Port, Lach Huyen Port (Hai Phong, Vietnam)
Execution Period: Q4 / 2024
Scope of Work for Relocating 04 Tukan Portal Slewing Cranes
- Engineering design, structural calculations, and fabrication of specialized spreader beams and support stools for crane gantry legs during SPMT (Self-Propelled Modular Transporter) roll-on/roll-off operations.
- Calculations and execution of land transport routes moving 4 Tukan cranes from quayside operating rails to barge load-out positions.
- Dynamic ballast water pumping calculations and real-time ballast control during Ro-Ro barge Load-In and Load-Out.
- Marine sea-fastening calculations, structural lashing design, and pontoon barge stability analysis for 4 portal cranes.
- Re-engineering voyage navigation plans to safely transport the 04 Tukan portal cranes under the under-construction span of May Chai Bridge prior to maritime channel closure.
- Sea-fastening lashing, unlashing, alignment, and final positioning of all 04 Tukan portal cranes onto destination terminal crane rails for operational commissioning.
Engineering Challenges Overcome
Project execution presented tight deadlines and complex constraints requiring agile coordination by Tan Cang Tech and its consortium partners. Most critically, maritime authorities announced an imminent waterway closure schedule to install the final navigation span of May Chai Bridge, necessitating rapid acceleration of the transport timeline.
Demonstrating technical precision, proactive management, and advanced engineering capabilities, the Tan Cang Tech team formulated optimized transit procedures that drastically compressed marine transport duration, safely passing through the May Chai Bridge zone prior to channel closure.
Client & Partner Commendation
Tan Cang Tech continues to prove itself as a premier, highly reliable partner in heavy-lift transport and marine engineering. Despite stringent weather and operational constraints, Tan Cang Technical Services demonstrated unwavering dedication, flawless safety execution, and completed all deliverables ahead of the target schedule.
