1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the engineering and planning data to enable the safe and
efficient transportation of Cargo 01 & Cargo 02 from fabrication location/temporary
storage area onshore to installation site. This document is originated by Masstrans
and refers essentially to the latter’s scope of work. Transport operation will be carried
out by means of Self Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMT) and/or conventional
trailers undertaken by Transport Contractor.
Engineering studies of the transportation are included. A detailed risk analysis for the
overall operation has also been carried out with contingency plans formulated for a
safe and smooth transportation.
This document is intended to provide the operation crew and third party contractors
with the necessary information to perform the transport operation. It is also meant to
provide the owners the necessary information to review and approve the
transportation.

The Project Manager will be responsible for co-ordinating all aspects of the
transport operations. During the transportation, he will over see the operation and
supervise the coordination among all activities related to transportation. The Project
Manager will be the key contact point and has full command for the operation. He
works in line with the Transport Superintendent and to ensure the transport plan is
within design criteria during the operation. The Project Manager will also be
attending to meeting regarding technical, schedule and safety issues.
The Safety Manager will be responsible for advising on the safety aspects for all
working personnel on the project. He will ensure that all safety regulations on site are
adhered to.
The Engineer will be responsible for all technical and engineering documentation
including the necessary method statements, calculation and drawings. He will also be
the key contact point for technical/engineering question, and calculations for job
execution on site.
The Trailer Operator is the personnel dedicated to operate the trailers. He will be
well verse in the trailers performance. He will take all instruction from the Transport
Superintendent.
The Trailer Crew consists of a group of 3 to 4 personnel who will be responsible for
the setting up of the trailers and other general task during operation. They will take
instruction from the superintendent.
The Trailer Mechanic is responsible for the repair and set up of the trailer. He also
backs up as the operator for the Trailer.

Cargo 01
The modules will be transported from fabrication yard to the jetty by SPMT and/or
conventional trailers at FABRICATOR’S YARD. The transport procedure can be
sub-divided in the following parts:
The following table is illustrated to ensure the maximum vertical movement by trailer
is less than 300 mm whether trailer can move up to 400 mm.
s) When the module is directly above jack down supports, position to be verified by
CLIENT representative.
t) The module will be lowered gradually until it is resting on all supports.
u) Shimming might be required and will be placed by TRAILER CONTRACTOR.
v) The trailer will then be removed from the module upon MWS approval.

5.0 ENGINEERING
The arrangement of the trailer and hydraulic grouping arrangements can be seen in
drawing attached in 5.8 Transport Plan Drawing.
Dead weight
The total weight is the sum of module weight, weight of trailer and others. The
module weight was taken from the latest weight control report.
Wind
The transportation of the module will be carried out in XXX, Singapore which has
generally very mild wind conditions and thus ignore the wind load.
The heaviest load per axle line is 30.2 MT . The maximum trailers capacity is 34 MT
per axle line. All weights per axle lines are inclusive of trailer self weight.

For trailer operation, the stability criterion is to achieve a stability angle of not less
than 8 degrees. The stability angle is defined as the angle from the cog point to the
nearest point on the stability triangle as shown in the dwg below. The stability
triangle is dependent on the axle-line configuration; it is formed by linking the cog of
each of the 3 trailer hydraulic groups.
