from STX/OSV Norway
Aker Solutions‟ new deepwater intervention vessel “SKANDI AKER
New Bow Form
Most vessels operate in low to moderate sea states (up to SS5)
for >90% of the time. The new bow form is used to lower resistance in calm to moderate sea states and still provide good
resistance and reduced pitch motions at high sea states.
(Bow Under STX Marine design consideration for incorporation into IML Marine Highway vessel)

RoRo Cassette cargo handling system Containerized and/or Unitized cargoes Cassette System
“Double Container Stacking”
TTS Marine - Finland
Summary Benefits of a Cassette System
• High load capacity
• Short turn-around times • Reduced lashing
• Optimized use of space
• Faster loading and unloading
• Lower occurrence of handling damage
• No load-securing labor
• Low running costs
• Safer operation • Pre-loading concept equalizes
utilization of equipment and labor
July 25, 2011 16
Cassette Stowage 11-14% better utilization of deck space
The cassette system has a higher loading capacity than any other handling method.
Loading and unloading capacities for various methods:
• Cassette system 540 ton/h • Roll trailer system 300 ton/h
• Semi trailer 180 ton/h
• Forklift truck handling 30 ton/h
