Mammoet has entered into a partnership with Tugdock Submersible Platforms to broaden the application of Tugdock’s modular submersible platform technology across marine and offshore wind industries.
The Tugdock Submersible Platform (TSP) is a modular buoyancy system designed to facilitate the transfer of large floating structures from quaysides into the water, enabling controlled load-in and load-out operations. Multiple units can be connected to form platforms measuring up to 120 metres by 120 metres, with a lift capacity of 30,000 tonnes and node points able to withstand loads of up to 350 tonnes.
Mammoet said the technology can extend quayside capacity, provide floating jetties, and serve as temporary offloading points for offshore wind projects where permanent infrastructure is impractical.
Barnaby Mills, Mammoet’s offshore services general manager, said: “We’ve followed Tugdock’s progress for some time and have been impressed by its innovation, particularly in offshore wind. The TSP system also brings clear advantages to other marine sectors where Mammoet already operates.”
Tugdock chief executive Shane Carr added: “While our initial focus has been on offshore wind, we see strong potential in many other industries. Working with Mammoet confirmed our shared vision: to scale this innovation to the global market across multiple sectors.”
The collaboration will also target applications in oil and gas, defence, civil engineering, liquefied natural gas, and space industries, the partners said.
