<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Triton has a longstanding history of involvement in some of the world\u2019s most ambitious marine mining projects. From floating mineral separation plants to advanced material handling barges and mooring systems, our engineering expertise covers the full lifecycle of floating and shore-connected marine mining infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our multidisciplinary team has been responsible for concept design, detailed engineering, structural analysis, buoyancy and stability calculations, and fabrication-ready documentation for projects operating in some of the most remote and challenging coastal environments on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noticeable Projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

KENMARE WCP-B Floating Plant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Marine<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The material handling plant, designed by BMH Sweden<\/strong>, was integrated into the Triton-designed barge to form a complete marine logistics solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with Aker Solutions<\/strong> and later E-PC<\/strong>, Triton provided full structural and hydrodynamic design for all floating and supporting structures<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Coral Sea Mooring Upgrad<\/strong>e<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Marine<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Triton was engaged by IHC\/MMP to design vessel modifications enabling the transition from chain to high-capacity wire mooring systems. We completed the full structural design, analysis, and fabrication documentation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Moma Transhipment Barge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Moma<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Commissioned by a joint venture between Bateman BV<\/strong> and Multiplex<\/strong>, Triton designed a fully self-sufficient transhipment barge to support the export of titanium-based raw products from the Moma mine. Classed by ABS and built at ASL Shipyards (Singapore), the barge features:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

RBM Plant A Extension & Plant E Development<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Marine<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Triton provided full stability and mooring calculations during development of the Mandena floating plant under contract with Hatch. The site\u2019s sensitive ecological surroundings and remote location made robust and reliable engineering critical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Mandena Plant \u2013 Madagascar<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Marine<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Triton provided full stability and mooring calculations during development of the Mandena floating plant under contract with Hatch. The site\u2019s sensitive ecological surroundings and remote location made robust and reliable engineering critical. Triton later carried out buoyancy and trim calculations under contract with Cyient, and in 2025\/2026 worked directly with Rio Tinto on walkway design, a landing pontoon, and buoyancy upgrades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

NAMDEB Modular Pontoon \u2013 Namibia<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Marine<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For Anglo American\u2019s Namdeb operation, Triton delivered a structurally modular pontoon to be fabricated in Johannesburg and assembled in Oranjemund. Our scope included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
