One
of the world's largest shiplift systems is installed in Malaysia Shipyard and Engineering
(MSE)'s shipyard at Pasir Gudang, the most prominent industrial town in the State of
Johor, with the expertise of Syncrolift Inc, a Rolls-Royce company.
MSE relocated the Syncrolift system, which is able to
handle Panamax size vessels, from Todd Shipyard's facility at San Pedro, California in
1996. After some reconfiguration and upgrading, the platform is now capable of
handling the widest range of ship types and sizes.
The platform now has the capability of lifting capacity
of 24,000 tonnes.
