Ing. Willy Leefmans studied naval architecture, has spent a great part of his career with the offshore installation industry, busy also in designing rigging arrangements for offshore heavy lifting. He was with quite a number of heavy lift contractors and an operator in quite some countries, as a contract worker. From his experienced engineering colleagues with all those different companies he had learned what is best practice in producing common heavy lift rigging designs and how to find effective solutions
