Using fabricated keel blocks and dyneema rope slings the entire vessel was lifted and turnbuckle in the air and placed down on its keel, ready to be repaired and later re-launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The syncrolift itself needed to be re-enforced to support the gantries and concentrated loads of the suspended vessel. All elements (including the syncrlift itself) were analyzed using FEA and 3D Modelling ahead of placing re-enforcing beams on the syncro beams, on which the travelling gantry was erected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lifting frame was then disassembled and the EUROPA was moved ashore for further repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
