Rig Move Training

The course is intended to provide participants with an introduction and training in handling, maneuvering and towing of mobile platforms. To learn the best practices which should be used to ensure the safety of personnel on board all vessels servicing and supporting offshore facilities and to reduce the risks associated with MODU Move operations. We are able to train crew in close to reality conditions to improve their skills in operations such as the Rig move, Jack up Move, Semi-submersible move, Anchor Handling, Tandem Towing, Escort Towing, Jack-Up Towage and maneuvering an offshore vessel. We provide theoretical teaching of main procedures and requirements, with practical skills on the simulator involving different tasks and scenarios for a MODU Move operation.
