Circle 295 on Reader Service Card approval process for a unique floating coal transfer station based on a semisub- mersible hull. Named the SST or Sea

Spider, the vessel has been developed by

Massachusetts-based Semi-Submersible

Transshipper (SSTI). Following Class approvals, Fleet was called upon by the owner to assist with engineering support for the delivery voyage from Shanghai to Berau transshipment site off Borneo.

The company initially considered a wet tow. but abandoned this notion when it was determined that a dry tow, using a barge involved the least risk. The SST has since been successfully commis- sioned and is expected to be a prototype for future, similar vessels.
