Advantages

  • Easy movement along and across the keel without intermediate transfers
  • No transborder or transborder pit; better use of yard area
  • The rail field stays usable for personnel and vehicles
  • Autonomy
  • High automation and flexibility
  • Low operating cost, fewer operators
  • Synchronous lifting lowers the risk of hull deformation
  • High reliability

Design

  • Trolley count is calculated from the weight and size of the vessels to be moved
  • Trolley layout follows the hull's weight distribution and strong points, the rail track and the launching device
