Big lifts require big planning, and this one marked a major milestone for Carver Marine Steel Works.
We recently hauled the 102-foot, 4,500-horsepower Mackenzie Rose, making her the largest and heaviest ocean-going tug ever handled at our facility.
Working alongside our friends at JMS Naval Architects, we developed a specialized lifting arrangement that combined CMSW’s new lift frame with traditional Travelift straps, allowing the vessel’s weight to be distributed across all four block sets.
From planning to ex*****on, this complex lift required precision and teamwork, showcasing CMSW’s expanded hauling capabilities and innovative approach to marine solutions.
