Precision, coordination, and high professionalism are the key prerequisites for a successful outcome when moving large-scale blocks safely. This complex operation, carried out using specialized transport platforms—Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs)—is one of the most critical stages of modern block-modular shipbuilding, combining engineering precision, high technical preparedness, and impeccable teamwork.
According to sea-news.az that at the Baku Shipyard, the largest shipbuilding facility in the Caspian region, every such logistical and production operation is carried out in full compliance with safety (HSE), high-quality standards, and pre-planned execution principles. The process of transporting massive ship sections, weighing hundreds of tons and prepared in the shipyard’s Hull and assembly workshops, to the installation site or dry dock forms a solid foundation for future maritime projects.
According to modern shipbuilding methodology, ships are no longer constructed as a single unit but are assembled in dry workshops as separate large blocks (modules). Once equipped with internal piping and electrical systems, they are transported via specialized platforms and integrated into the overall hull. This approach significantly reduces construction time and maximizes work quality. The advanced technologies and professional human capital applied at the facility successfully ensure the regional and global competitiveness of Azerbaijan’s maritime industry.
