Heavy lift shipping, engineering & cranes

Biggyoil are the solution to the problem of transporting extremely weighty cargo that is too heavy for regular cargo and container ships. It goes without saying that heavy lift vessels are huge structures - they have to be in order to be able to handle their massive cargoes which can be anything from an oil rig to a Derick barge.

We are the world leading carrier specialized in sea transport of heavy lift and project cargo.
We operate a global network of own offices and representatives. This enables us to quickly provide excellent solutions to our clients. Thanks to our longtime experience, integrated best practices in QHSE and our highly trained crews, we provide safe, innovative, reliable
transport solutions.
Our in-house engineering department develops customised solutions for all transport needs and thoroughly supervises all projects from the planning stages to successful completion while working hand in hand with our crew onboard.
Our Heavy Lift upholds the highest standards in respect to QHSE: all vessels are certified to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Type 183, 176 and 116 have Environmental Passports confirming this compliance

Everything you need to know about Our heavy lift vessels

It’s not just size that matters here, structurally, our HLV have been designed and built using specialized, innovative advances in ship design and engineering.

Our semi-submersible HLV uses ballast water to increase its draft. This has the effect of lowering the vessel, submerging the upper deck to a couple of meters below the waterline.

Once done, the cargo can be floated over – usually by being pulled and positioned by barges and tugboats – and onto the submerged deck. When the cargo is in position the tug or barge will be released and the ballast water will then be pumped out.

However, as its name suggests, the semi-submersible vessel only rises slightly above the waterline and not completely out of the water. If the ship was completely above water it would place too much strain on the structure. This partial submerging means the cargo is securely located on the deck however no water will be taken onboard and the HLV is able to begin her journey

type of cargo our semi-submersible vessels carry

There are a number of distinct types of freight that float-on/float off ships are used to transport.

Dredging equipment
Drill rigs
Oil rigs
Floating factories
Oil processing plants
Floating dry docks
Offshore structures
Other vessels

We are global HLV managers

We are global organization in terms of management criteria as well as service and product export geography, which is one of the rare examples in its sector which has grown with its own capital.

We provide heavy equipment transportation services from Nigeria, United States and Canada to African countries (Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, and Nigeria). So we know how important it is to get ready for the process and prepare both the transport documents and the cargo itself

Some Tips to prepare your freight

Some tips to prepare your freight:

let your equipment functional but disconnect any alarm systems;
secure all loose parts;
make room for the carrier company to pick up the heavy equipment;
have all the necessary documents ready, or make sure that the heavy haul transportation company has prepared them in advance;
cover any part of the equipment that you do NOT want to be exposed to external factors (if shipped outdoor);
the transit time depends on the route but lasts basically between 17 and 48 days.
