Deployment and Mobilisation Support

What gets done

• Site assessment and base of operations selection. Quay access, craneage, storage, workshop, power, connectivity and welfare.
• Mobilisation plan and day planner. What happens, in what order, with what and whom on site.
• Vessel preparation and pre-deployment checks, including payload checks and communications testing before anything leaves the quay.
• Lift plans built for the vessel you actually have, the launch and recovery method, and the equipment to do it with.
• Shore base HSSE. Induction, permits, contractor control, and the risk assessments that go with lithium-ion batteries and commissioning works.
• Logistics. Shipping, customs, spares holding, maintenance plan, and local service partners and suppliers.
• Support and guard vessel requirements, and the interface with their crew, which is usually treated as an afterthought and usually should not be.
• Weather, tide and traffic constraints, and what they actually do to your operating window.
• Client coordination and the daily operating rhythm: briefs, checks, logs, debriefs, and who runs each one.

What you get

A mobilisation plan and schedule you can hand to a project manager. The shore-side lift plans, method statements and risk assessments. A shortlist of local partners with what each is needed for. And on-site support through mobilisation and first operations where you want a second pair of experienced hands.

How it runs

Best started before the port is chosen, because the port decision drives most of the rest. It can run remotely, on site, or both.

International deployments are normal work here, including bringing a vessel into Europe from outside the region, and the regulatory and stakeholder engagement usually runs alongside on the same programme.
