ROLLDOCK B.V. and Flensburger developed in very close cooperation the sophisticated design for the most flexible Semi-Submersible Heavy Lift Carrier.

The layout of the twin-screw open top vessel allows for handling of wheeled as well as floating cargo. The whole vessel can be submerged to float-in / float out cargo once the stern ramp has been opened. Two 350t cranes are installed to lift-on / lift-off cargo units up to 700t. The pontoon-type hatch covers can be locked in various vertical positions and by this the covers do form different tween-deck levels that can also be served via the vertical movable stern ramp.
