Global Rigging and Transport

Dry docking an oil rig is a little more involved than simply getting it out of the water.

It takes:
• Heavy jacking and controlled load transfer
• Engineered shoring and support
• Careful positioning and load management

A good example of the planning, equipment and experience required for complex dry-docking operations.

GRT supports crane offloads, assembly, rail installation, and heavy-move planning for major port equipment.

Coordinating every stage from arrival through commissioning.

Not every heavy-lift or transport challenge has an off-the-shelf answer.

For this custom fabrication project, our team took the work from raw steel and fit-up through fabrication and finishing to create a purpose-built frame for a specific application.

That in-house capability helps GRT develop practical solutions when standard equipment is not the right fit bringing fabrication, rigging knowledge and project requirements together from the outset.

Global Rigging & Transport specialises in complex ship to shore (STS) crane relocation, heavy lift and heavy transport projects for ports and container terminals.

Moving an STS crane requires careful planning, engineering, rigging, transport and coordination across every stage of the project. GRT supports crane moves using specialist heavy transport equipment, specialist frames, SPMTs, jacking systems, lifting equipment and experienced crane crews.

Our team can support STS crane relocation within a terminal, movement onto and off a barge/vessel, marine transport coordination, crane positioning, commissioning support and related heavy rigging work.

For ports, terminal operators and crane owners planning an STS crane move, GRT provides an experienced team capable of managing the project from initial planning through final positioning.

When lifting equipment needs to be proven, tested and ready for service, GRT has the equipment and experience to get it done.

Global Rigging & Transport maintains a substantial inventory of load-testing equipment, including certified test weights, water bags, engineered test frames and lifting accessories.

From overhead cranes and gantries to hoists and other heavy-lifting systems, our team can provide planned, controlled load testing to support commissioning, inspection, maintenance and regulatory requirements.

Rail systems on ship‑to‑shore (STS) cranes are critical for smooth, precise crane movements and safe container handling.

Wear, corrosion and misalignment can lead to operational delays, increased maintenance costs and safety risks. Global Rigging & Transport (GRT) offers a turnkey rail‑repair solution to restore performance, extend service life and ensure regulatory compliance.
