Energy Exerter loaded by jacking down and discharged by jacking up

The jack-up rig (Energy Exerter) was loaded in extreme weather conditions with temperature up to -37°C in the sheltered waters of Kirkenes, this implied special measures for the workers and for welding operations in order to assure good welding quality. The rig was transported to Kavalla. Therefore the Energy Exerter was placed longitudinal on a 0.30 [m] high cribbing on the aft deck of the Fjord, facing with the stern to the bow.
