    The document discusses several key considerations for lift boat operations planning, including: 1) Determining the appropriate vessel class based on factors like water depth, required deck height, and expected soil conditions and pad penetration. 2) Evaluating sea conditions needed for normal and confined space positioning and departing of the vessel. 3) Planning for mobilization/demobilization times and potential obstacles. 4) Addressing issues like crane access, weight distribution, deck loading, and supply needs.

    Determining Vessel Class

    When attempting to minimize cost with minimal support,


    it is critical to evaluate job location thoroughly.
    Considerations:
    a. Water Depth
    b. Height of Service Deck, i.e. “Sub-Cellar Deck, Cellar Deck,
    Main Deck”, where scope of work is to be performed.
    c. “Potential Pad Penetration”. Oversight on potential Pad
    Penetration has caused more grief for project managers than
    any other single factor. As little as 10’ of penetration due to
    low density soil conditions, will drastically affect the ability to
    complete the scope of work.
    d. As a result of the Jacking Tower Height, there is always leg
    loss.
    a. 145’ Class -14’
    b. 175’ Class -13’
    Necessary water depth, pad penetration & air gap to perform
    scope of work
