InTRODUCTIOn
BigLift Shipping is one of the worlds leading heavy lift shipping companies, specialized in worldwide ocean transportation of heavy lift and project cargoes, with a history going back to 1973. BigLift strives for innovation, excellence and operational reliability, adhering to high standards of Health, Safety, Environment and Quality and operating to strict time schedules. A great variety of heavy and over-sized cargoes of long-standing clients in the oil & gas, mining and power generating industries, is carried worldwide by its modern fleet of thirteen specialized heavy lift vessels. A team of dedicated, highly skilled professionals, with years of experience and the mindset to think creatively, enables us to offer innovative and safe solutions for clients technically and logistically complex requirements. Careful planning, engineering, coordination and supervision ensure that safe transportation is all in a days work. In 2013 and 2014 the new-building vessels of the Happy S-type will enter the BigLift fleet. These flag ships have a lifting capacity of two times 900 mt, combinable to 1800 mt. The length of the vessels and the forward position of the superstructure offer a single large cargo hold and a wide open deck area. The vessels have the notation for open sailing, allowing for more flexibility for large and high cargoes. The vessels also have the highest Finnish Ice class notation. A key factor in the safe and reliable operation of these super heavy lifters is to perform cargo operations without using any stability pontoons during lifting operations. Following questions from the market, both vessels cranes were extended to provide more lifting height and more outreach, thus offering superior lifting capabilities. The cranes on both vessels are prepared to have the flyjib mounted, extending lifting height and outreach even further. With the entry of these newbuildings, BigLifts fleet of specialized heavy lift vessels will grow to a modern and versatile fleet of 15 vessels. Supported by the highly qualified staff ashore and on board, the fleet forms the basis of our long-standing reputation as a top quality heavy lift company.

During the design phase it was decided to adapt the design of the Happy Star to answer the direct needs from the market. The crane pedestal is raised by 4 metres and the jib is extended by 6 metres, providing 10 metres more lifting height and 6 metres more outreach. This gives the vessel a crane curve which is unmatched amongst heavy lift vessels, and allows cargoes to be lifted higher and further away than in the vessels original design. As a direct consequence, the beam of the vessel is increased to 29 metres. This provides the vessel with sufficient anti-heel capacity and stability to use the cranes to their full capacity, being 1800 mt at 25 metres, 1600 mt at 28 metres and 1000 mt at 41 metres with a lifting height of close to 47 metres above the main deck. The stability is achieved without the need for a stability pontoon during loading or discharging operations. To provide a maximum useable deck area, the weather deck extends over the full width of the vessel. It has 8 pontoon type hatch covers, with a 15 t/m2 carrying capacity over the full length and beam. The tweendeck is adjustable in height and it is possible to sail with open weather deck hatches on a draft of up to 8 metres.

The hull was adapted to the new dimensions and, using modern design methods, special attention was given to optimizing the powering performance, resulting in a trial speed of 17 kn. With these adaptations to the design of the vessel and her cranes, the Happy Star offers an efficient and safe solution to todays market demands and we look forward to start operating the vessel in the first quarter of 2014.

During the construction of the Happy Sky it was decided to raise the crane pedestal by 4 metres in order to create more lifting height in view of market demands. The lifting height of the Happy Sky is now 41 metres above the main deck. The vessel is equipped with folding hatch covers, a large poop deck and cargo rails which make it possible to use the vessels full deck area for cargo stowage. The tweendeck of the vessel is adjustable in height. The Happy Sky is allowed to sail with open weather deck hatches on a draft up to 7.5 metres. Utilising modern design methods, special attention was given to optimizing the powering performance, which results in a trial speed of 17 kn.
