FlexSeaFast
Sea fastening with significant cost and safety benefits. Speeds up the deck fastening process and ensures secure transportation at sea.
Innovative solution for set-down and sea fastening of structures
- Immediate sea fastening when set down on barge or vessel.
- No personnel intervention required – risk significally reduced.
- Developed by Aker Solutions and qualified by DNV GL.
FlexSeaFast reduces time between offshore lift and inshore barge delivery greatly compared with traditional welding sea fastening methods and significantly improves feasibility. In addition, short vessel operation time gives environmental benefit.

How does it work?
FlexSeaFast consists of two elements. Patterned machined steel “gripper plates” are welded to the bottom of the transported object and rubber elements are attached to the grillage.
Gripping action does not rely on friction, but is a mechanical connection where the pyramids of the gripper plates and the rubber elements are in contact like cogged wheels.
The object may be set down without guides. Hover over the barge and set down within a specified target radius.
