The project was also supported by the company\u2019s wider USA operations, with the involvement of marine and engineering specialists from the Houston and New Orleans\u2019 offices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guy Noble, Senior Principal Naval Architect and his Houston team performed computer-based vessel motion analysis to calculate the allowable sea state for the tow. He also advised the yard on the construction of a temporary breakwater, fitted amongst other prescribed measures, to increase the allowable sea state. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABL\u2019s Capt. Bobby Surendra from the New Orleans office, and Capt. Jonathan Wanliss attended the yard to oversee preparations pre-departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capt. Wanliss then sailed with the tow as Marine Warranty Surveyor to ensure the strict guidance regarding sea state and weather routing was followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vessel safely arrived to great fanfare at her new home port of New York on the 14<sup>th<\/sup> August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;It was great to work through such a fantastic project with my colleagues bringing their deep knowledge and expertise together, along with our clients at Eastern Shipbuilding, the NYC DOT and the wider insurance market.
