Dock can dock both floatable and non-floating assets by laterally and transversely.
The purpose of this document is to cover the minimum requirements for the design, manufacture, inspection,
certification, testing, commissioning and starting-up of Navigation Aid System to be installed on Lift Dock.
The SUPPLIER shall be responsible for the complete design, manufacture, supply, inspection, testing, preparation
for shipment for the Lanterns and Control Panels, including full compliance with all applicable design codes and
standards.
In no case this specification supersedes or deletes any applicable laws, codes and / or local regulations
requirements. Any deviation from the present specification at any stage of the project shall be clearly stated to the
COMPANY by the SUPPLIER. Any deviation from specifications and/or data-sheets shall be approved by the
COMPANY in a written form; otherwise the equipment will not be accepted.

1.2 VESSEL INFORMATION

The vessel, Lift Dock is rectangular in shape with a 4 legs configuration. Advanced specialised vessel is a selfpropelled and self-elevating platform designed to the requirements of American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). The
vessel has 4 removable floaters arranged so as to facilitate the vessel to function like a versatile docking vessel.
The floaters along with 4 jack-houses is also referred as wing hull as in a floating dry-dock with spudded capability.
The Owners plan to certify the Vessel for the flag state of Singapore or China and have the hull and machinery
classed by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) as A1 AMS Self-Elevating Unit DPS-0.
