Slipways

Model Inclined slipway; Wedged slipway

Inclined and wedged slipway solutions for hauling ships ashore at shipyards with shallow waters.

Description

For yards with shallow waters, Syncrolift offers slipways in which a carriage moves along rails from sea to land to bring ships ashore.

Key features

  • Inclined slipway, with an advanced version moving the ship over the knuckle from an inclined to a horizontal position
  • Wedged slipway: a horizontal platform extended into the sea until submerged enough to load the ship, then pulled back to land
  • Both allow multiple ships to be serviced once moved inland

Applications

Ship repair yards in shallow-water locations where a shiplift or dry dock is not suitable.
