Atlantic Dawn Series – for CIG Shipbuilding 

One of the unique features of the Atlantic Dawn series is the ability to operate in ‘open top’ mode, whereby the vessels sail without cargo hatches, to make loading, transportation and unloading of bulky items faster. This introduced several design challenges, in particular the vessel’s stability during self-loading and unloading operations. C-Job resolved potential issues by incorporating a stability pontoon for use during heavy lift operations, while a single crane can operate without the stability pontoon in less demanding situations. 
 
The full design scope included everything from concept design to delivery of production information to the shipyard. C-Job also optimized the hull design through collaboration with the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) to ensure the vessels would perform at the highest possible standards in terms of fuel efficiency and stability. 
 
The entire project was executed at a remarkable pace, with the concept design delivered by C-Job in six weeks, and the first vessel delivered just 23 months after the first lines were drawn on the general arrangement. This rapid execution was one of the most significant achievements of the project, demonstrating C-Job’s ability to meet tight deadlines while delivering high-quality designs.
