Project Overview
MPS was appointed to find a solution to relocate the Rapaki and project manage the relocation project to allow the Americas’ Cup Hobson Wharf extension construction works to proceed in a timely manner. MPS undertook a review of all existing documentation and information on the Rapaki and developed an assessment of options information documents for the relevant Board and senior management teams and finally, the business case for approval for the preferred option, to decommission the ship and recover heritage items for preservation. Due to the tight timeframes for the America’s Cup works to begin (weeks), MPS worked collaboratively with the limited number of available suppliers, to develop a suitable contract and safety plans to decommission the Rapaki and recover the heritage items, during December and over the Christmas break.
Due to the condition of the Rapaki, there were several significant risks that required oversight and careful management particularly due to the evidence of significant corrosion. Key risks identified were asbestos removal; failure of the crane superstructure; hull breach or failure; failure of propellers seals and failure to recover heritage items for preservation.
