ABSTRACT:
A load transfer system and method for its use for mating an integrated deck structure onto an offshore platform substructure at an offshore location is disclosed. The load transfer system utilizes a probe extending downwardly from the integrated deck and adapted to mate with the substructure, and a shock-load absorbing system having a first spring with a linear compressive response and a second spring with a variable compressive response mounted in series between the integrated deck and the probe.
