EZ Link Handle Passenger Ship from Taiwan to Philippines
11th May 2026
EZ Link (PCN members in Taiwan) have handled a passenger ship on a heavy lift vessel from Taipei Port to Subic in Philippines.
The passenger ship was shipped water-to-water using 2 x 400mt cranes. It measures 33.37 x 10.00 x 15.45m / 290wt.
The EZ Link project team carefully planned the complex marine operations to lift the large and heavy ship from the water onto the heavy lift vessel deck and were on board the vessel to monitor all procedures and ensure seamless handling.
The project involved:
Monitoring of weather & sea state to ensure conditions are within safe limits (wind, swell, visibility),
4 divers in the water to secure slings evenly and check balance in the underwater hull,
After slings where secured safely, the boat was raised slightly out of the water to confirm balance and load security,
A careful swing and hoist operation to move the load over the deck using controlled crane movements conducted by the vessel port captain located in a pilot boat surrounding the heavy lift vessel,
Ensuring an even weight distribution and proper alignment while the ship was landing on deck,
Utilising tag lines to lower the boat onto pre-positioned supports and cradle on deck.
Throughout the project, the professional EZ Link team showed their expertise with seamless procedures despite the complexity of the operations. Their clients were very happy with their timely and reliable service as always.
