A skidding system for skidding a heavy load over a deck of a vessel includes a hydraulic cylinder cooperates with a skid shoe and the load to be displaced with respect to a skid rail along a line of displacement. The hydraulic cylinder extends to displace the load when the skid shoe is locked with respect to the skid rail. A skid shoe displacement device moves the shoe with respect to the rail in the same direction along the line of displacement when the shoe is unlocked from the rail. A first releasable coupling couples a piston rod to the load. A second releasable couples a cylinder body to the skid shoe. A third releasable coupling couples the cylinder body to the load to be displaced with respect to the skid rail along the line of displacement, while a fourth couples the piston rod to the skid shoe.
