Since you spend so much time offshore you should know its called GRATING
In the last quarter of last year we finished the worlds largest lift boat. It's equiped with a 500 and a 200 ton crane...... It sole purpose is platform decommisoning and removal. Works so well we have orders for 2 more and they want them want them all ASAP! L/B Robert is the name of the boat. L/B Jill is the next one and we also building another for a company I can't remember the name of.
