Named the SST or Sea Spider, the vessel has been developed by Massachusetts-based Semi-Submersible Transshipper (SSTI). Following Class approvals, Fleet was called upon by the owner to assist with engineering support for the delivery voyage from Shanghai to Berau transshipment site off Borneo. The company initially considered a wet tow. but abandoned this notion when it was determined that a dry tow, using a barge involved the least risk. The SST has since been successfully commis- sioned and is expected to be a prototype for future, similar vessels.
