      abstract = {Heavy lifting operations in marine environments are complex tasks that require careful planning, precision, and adherence to strict safety protocols. These operations are often challenged by unpredictable weather conditions, equipment limitations, and environmental factors, which necessitate the implementation of robust load distribution systems and risk management strategies. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework for the safe execution of complex heavy lifting tasks in marine facilities, focusing on the design and implementation of multi-point load distribution systems, the importance of safety protocols, and the integration of real-time monitoring systems to enhance operational efficiency and safety. The framework emphasizes the need for thorough planning, proper equipment selection, and the application of advanced technologies to mitigate risks such as equipment failure, load imbalance, and accidents. Additionally, the paper explores future trends in marine lifting technology, including automation, augmented reality, and data analytics, which are poised to improve further the safety and efficiency of lifting operations. By incorporating these strategies and innovations, the framework aims to establish a comprehensive approach to managing the risks associated with heavy lifting in marine environments, ensuring safe, efficient, and effective operations.},
