295t JIB Crane – Weight Spreading analysis

The project downstream data from within the maritime industry towards MBM was continually altered on this weight spreading analysis. As a result, MBM had to make daily changes to cargo drawings, and the client only provided information for similar cargo with no guarantee that the drawing represented the actual cargo

MBM offered to survey the cargo to obtain the correct dimensions for this cargo.

We offered a solution that could accommodate many possible last-minute changes as time was not on our side. MBM provided an effective weight spreading analysis for this cargo based on these ever changing cargo drawings.

The variable parameters of the cargo drawings were:

• The cargo CofG (Variable of 2m).
• The cargo weight (265t – 315t).
• The number of foot prints (2-3).
• The distances between the relevant footprints.
• The main pedestal footprint diameters changed (+ – 0.5m), and
• The footprint supporting legs structure changed.

Despite the ongoing changes, our team ensured that they accounted for and integrated the final forces into the weight spreading design and vessel structure by remaining vigilant and adapting to each change.

At MBM Consultancy, we take great pride in our ability to adapt and find solutions to challenges, ensuring that we meet our clients’ needs no matter what hurdles may arise.
