Our Solutions: Float on / Float Off (Flo/Flo)

Expert Float On / Float Off (Flo/Flo) Services

At Commercial Marine Transport (CMT) we offer specialized Float On / Float Off (Flo/Flo) services, providing a secure and efficient solution for transporting large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped maritime assets. This method is ideal for ships, yachts, military crafts, and other marine structures that are too large for traditional cargo holds.

Our Flo/Flo services are meticulously planned and executed to ensure the highest levels of safety and efficiency. Whether you need to transport a newly built vessel from its construction site to a delivery location or move a damaged ship for repairs, our Flo/Flo operations are designed to meet your specific requirements.

What is Float on / Float Off (Flo/Flo)

Float On / Float Off (Flo/Flo) is a highly specialized type of maritime transport used primarily for large maritime vessels and structures. This method involves a semi-submersible vessel that can be partially submerged to allow cargo to be floated on or off its deck. Once the cargo is securely positioned, the vessel de-ballasts (removes water from its ballast tanks), raising itself and the cargo out of the water for transport.

Advantages of Flo/Flo Transport

  • Minimizes Risk: The Flo/Flo method reduces the need for lifting, which can stress the structure of large vessels or complex maritime equipment, thereby minimizing risk during the loading and unloading phases.
  • Versatile: Suitable for various types of cargo that other shipping methods might not accommodate due to size or weight constraints.
  • Efficient: Provides a direct and efficient way to transport very large items across the seas, reducing the need for disassembly and reassembly.
