The JSI Alliance is proud to have successfully completed a major project in India for client Afcons Infrastructure Limited. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Afcons was contracted to construct a new liquid cargo berth for Gujarat Chemical Port Ltd. (GCPL). The JSI Alliance was contracted for the execution of critical heavy lifting operations for the development.<\/p>\n

The project scope was complex, requiring extensive heavy-lift capabilities for the installation of eight jackets and fifteen berthing dolphins weighing between 500 and 600 t, at an outreach of 10 m.<\/p>\n

Work took place in an extremely challenging environment. The location is subject to a 10 m tidal rise, resulting in currents of up to 5 kn. To compound matters, the seabed is comprised of sand, rendering many conventional mooring solutions unsuitable.<\/p>\n

A further factor was that the location was operational at the time of installation \u2013 all activities had to be undertaken without interrupting two live, frequently used berths. This resulted in severe space restrictions, leading to further mooring complexities.<\/p>\n

Calling upon the expertise of a wide range of internal disciplines, the JSI Alliance developed a solution fully aligned with the requirements of the project. The Alliance mobilised the heavy-lift vessel (HLV) Jumbo Javelin.
\nThe heavy-lift vessel enabled safe and efficient execution by providing a single platform for the transport and installation of prefabricated structures. Mobilization commenced on 3 November and took place over a period of fifteen days. During this time, the JSI Alliance equipped the Jumbo Javelin with a flyjib that enabled her to perform the necessary lifting scope.<\/p>\n

The vessel was also outfitted with an eight-point mooring spread tailored to the seabed and tidal conditions of the project location. Creating sufficient holding force in such a restricted area required utilization of 17 t anchors and 64 and 52 mm mooring lines with a Minimum Breaking Load of approximately 300 t per line.<\/p>\n

The Jumbo Javelin was equipped with custom-made 250 t winches. It was determined that eight, in place of four, winches should be installed to provide a back-up wire, ensuring safety and redundancy.<\/p>\n

To absorb the significant forces involved, it was necessary to strengthen the vessel with additional steel. <\/p>\n

Installation of the spread called upon anchor handling support vessels with sufficient capacity for the heavy-duty components employed. The vessels were required to perform the mooring installation during a four-hour tidal window, when the current was at its lowest speed.<\/p>\n

Once connected to the mooring spread, the Jumbo Javelin remained in position for several days at a time, thereby avoiding interruption to berthing operations.<\/p>\n

The first loadout commenced on 3 December at Dighi Port. In total, the Jumbo Javelin made six voyages. The last item was installed on 14 March, before the vessel departed for Dighi Port for demobilisation, which took place over just seven and a half days. Following this, the Jumbo Javelin sailed on to Singapore to return equipment to suppliers. Discharge was completed in two days and, on 6 April, the project was fully completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe successful completion of this project is a testament to the teamwork, expertise and commitment of everyone involved. By drawing on the shared resources and capabilities of the JSI Alliance, we were able to develop a solution tailored to the complex site conditions and deliver the project safely and efficiently.\u201d Robert de Waard, Project Manager at the JSI Alliance.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI would like to thank all those involved for their efforts, including my colleagues from all departments, as well as our suppliers, including Franklin Offshore International and Moor east Asia, for their support with the anchor handling equipment. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Sea contractors, who supported Afcons with the provision of two vessels for anchor handling and contributed to the successful execution of the project.\u201d
\n\u201cOf course, we are also extremely grateful to Afcons for placing its trust in the JSI Alliance. Our two teams have worked together closely throughout the project, with Afcons being involved, and providing expert guidance, in all aspects. We have enjoyed the collaboration and look forward to working together again in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
