Lifting companies that serve the marine industry offer a specialized range of services tailored to the unique challenges of working around water, heavy equipment, and large vessels. Here’s a breakdown of the marine services these companies typically provide:

1. Ship Lifting & Launching
Shiplift Systems: Used in shipyards to lift entire vessels out of the water for maintenance, repair, or inspection.
Synchrolifts: A platform-based system that raises/lower ships, then transfers them laterally into dry docks.
Boat Hoists & Travel Lifts: Mobile cranes specifically designed to lift smaller vessels for marina services.

2. Dry Docking Support
Vessel Blocking & Positioning: Precision placement of vessels on keel blocks or supports.
Heavy Lifting for Overhaul: Lifting engines, generators, propellers, rudders, and other large components during refits or repairs.
Underwater Lifting: Using buoyancy bags or lifting frames to support damaged or submerged structures.

3. Offshore Lifting
Rigging & Hoisting on Platforms: Lifting modules, containers, or heavy equipment to and from offshore oil/gas platforms.
Deck Equipment Installation: Winches, cranes, helidecks, lifeboat systems, etc.
Subsea Lifting: Using remotely operated or diver-assisted lifting systems for underwater components.

4. Shipbuilding & Heavy Fabrication
Module & Section Lifting: Lifting large preassembled sections of ships during construction.
Crane Coordination for Hull Assembly: Multiple crane lifts for placing large and delicate structures.
Turnkey Heavy Lift Services: Engineering, planning, and executing the lift and placement of superstructures, masts, funnels, etc.

5. Salvage & Recovery
Emergency Lifting Operations: For capsized, sunken, or stranded vessels.
Buoyancy & Lift Bags: Controlled lifting of wreckage or cargo from the seabed.
Environmental Containment Support: Coordinating lifting with containment to prevent fuel/oil spills.

6. Port & Terminal Lifting
Crane Installation/Relocation: Erecting or moving container cranes (RTGs, STSs), mobile harbor cranes.
Cargo Handling Equipment: Lifting and placing reach stackers, straddle carriers, or conveyor systems.
Infrastructure Support: Installing dockside infrastructure like fenders, bollards, or gantries.

7. Lift Planning & Marine Engineering Support
Marine Lift Plans & Load Tests: Creating detailed lift strategies, including dynamic marine conditions.
Mooring Calculations & Load Distribution: For safe positioning of vessels during lifts.
Offload/Onload of Heavy Equipment: Planning and executing heavy cargo transfers at docks or using floating cranes.
