Shiplift Support Arms

Shiplift support arms enable primarily man-hour savings, higher blocking accuracy and faster docking.

The shiplift support arms allow the ship to be drydocked without the need for bilge blocking. Once the ship is on the shiplift platform/land level, workers may start inserting bilge blocks to stabilize the vessel ready for transfer.

Carving bilge blocks directly to the ship’s profile is faster timewise, requires less manhours and is more accurate than estimating the blocking for a “virtual” ship.
