Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present a concept of the Heavy Lift Ship already used in the maritime market, aiming to propose viable alternatives for its employability, taking as its main focus the performance of the same in military operations, however the versatility of this class of ship, allows a wide range of activities. Currently, the theme of docking, maintenance, repair and logistics is in constant evidence due to the high level demanded by operational means of navies around the world, their maintenance is of essential importance for the preparation and use of Naval Power. The implementation of a ship of this class to a fleet or fleet allows its use to perform the function of a floating dock, for example, being able to carry out the transport of other ships or floating structures. Considering the incorporation of a medium with these characteristics, it allows the performance, in addition to services related to maintenance, repair and transport, the possibility of carrying out missions together with other bodies or companies such as Petrobras, for example, in addition to supporting existing military assets and that will still be incorporated. In general, the concept of using a ship with these characteristics can be put to good use, mainly evaluating the plurality that this means can provide to a Navy.
