💡 Decarbonising mooring – Chain removal without the use of an AHV InterMoor, a brand in Acteon’s Moorings and Anchors business line, was contracted by a major operator to remove the platform and installation chain on a floating production unit in ultra-deep water. 📈 The primary objective was to enhance the tieback capability of the floating production unit (FPU). ⛓ InterMoor’s engineers developed a procedure to completely remove the chain without the use of an anchor handling vessel (AHV) or a heavy lift vessel. This was the major advantage of the selected methodology and a major win for the team. As a result, this was a novel methodology that required extensive qualification in great detail. Eliminating the need for a support vessel significantly reduced carbon emissions. ➡️ Read the case study here: https://hubs.ly/Q02J_HSK0 #GOM #ultradeep #IMR #maintenance #mooring

🚨 ANCHOR HANDLING AND ITS RELEVANCE 🚨 As a #surveyor, anchor handling operations are likely to account for most of the #construction support scopes we encounter offshore That's because, anchors are the foundations that bind floating offshore structures to the #seabed Beyond that, Anchor handling involves the deployment, relocation, and retrieval of anchors to secure floating vessels or structures in operations like: 1️⃣ Rig moves 2️⃣ FPSO & SPM mooring 3️⃣ Windfarm installation The other alternatives are #barge operations & pipelay initiation For this to work, there must be: 1. AHT Vessels – These vessels are equipped with powerful winches, shark jaw & bollard pull to handle the heavy load of anchors 2. Surface positioning and Communication Systems 3. Anchors, Chains/Wires & Towing accessories such as Towlines, shackles, and towing pins 🚨 FIELD STEPS 🚨 Anchor handling typically begins with the planning of anchor patterns, considering the seabed conditions, currents, and operational scope. 🚀 Then #mobilization of survey positioning and communication setups. Positioning ensures that the #gps coordinate and heading of the structures and all AHTs involved are precisely determined. Communication is established using network routers running UDP/IP or TCP/IP network protocol with omnidirectional antennas. UDP is often favoured. It is faster but less secure. 🚀 Field Displays of all the necessary display components on all participating structures & vessels follow. These are existing & proposed field structures, anchor drop points, cable out, fairleads offset, AHT tracking information & vessels position. When the structure has been towed close to field, an AHT vessel deploys the anchors at predetermined locations while the structure/barge is still held in-place by other AHTs. The first anchor drop-point encountered (or farthest from existing surface structures) is dropped first. An #AnchorForeman / #MooringMaster coordinates the operation. 🚀 #Accuracy in laying anchors is critical, especially in deep waters and around pipes, where positioning errors can lead to operational hazards. Real-time communication between the barge/structure and AHT vessels ensures the safety and effectiveness of the operation. 🚨 WHY CHOOSE NON-DP OVER DP BARGES? 🚨 🚀 Despite the time-efficiency and navigational flexibility of a self-propelled barge, Non-Dynamically Positioned (non-DP) barges typically cost significantly less to rent than their dynamically positioned (DP) counterparts. The difference is often due to the high-tech systems onboard DP vessels, such as sensors and thrusters, which allow them to maintain precise positioning without the need for anchors. 🚀 Non-DP barges can cost up to 50% less in daily rates. Despite a need for extra tugs, non-DP are more budget-friendly and frankly more stable.

The recent amendments to SOLAS regulation effective from 1 January 2024, have introduced critical new requirements for mooring operations across all ships: "Before and during mooring operations: #1 Prior to commencing mooring operations, a thorough assessment of environmental conditions, including wind, tide, and swell, should be conducted to anticipate potential challenges." #portweather #mooring #seaports #metocean #coastalweather #shippingsafety #shipping #vaisala https://lnkd.in/dzV9ETKW

Enhancing Construction Safety with WEITE's Tower Crane Anti-Collision System 🛠️ At construction sites, safety is paramount, especially with heavy lifting equipment like tower cranes. WEITE’s innovative Tower Crane Anti-Collision System uses advanced millimeter-wave radar to continuously monitor both sides of the crane arm, calculating the exact distance from obstacles in real time. When the crane moves near other structures or equipment, the system triggers alarms and alerts the operator, preventing potential collisions. 📡 Key Features of WEITE’s Anti-Collision System: • Passive Collision Avoidance: Radar sensors detect and alert on approaching obstacles, ensuring safe crane operation. • Active Collision Avoidance: Ideal for sites with multiple cranes, sensors track crane orientation and hook position, proactively ceasing operations if obstacles are within the set radius. Through wireless data transmission, remote teams can monitor crane operations in real time, supporting a coordinated, safe, and efficient work environment. This system not only enhances on-site safety but also boosts construction efficiency by facilitating proactive, remote management of lifting activities. #ConstructionSafety #TowerCrane #CraneSafety #SafetyFirst #OffshoreCranes #MarineEquipment #CraneMaintenance #Cranes #MonitoringSystem #IndustrialEquipment #Engineering #Safety #CraneCompliance #CraneEquipment #CraneResources #cranecomputer #cranedisplay #LMI #liftingsolutions #rigging #fallprotection #slings #construction #oilandgas #mining #manufacturing #Infrastructure #industrial #marine #offshoreenergy #transportation

🚢 Port of Aalborg Takes Delivery of Liebherr LHM 550 Crane 🚢 The Port of Aalborg has welcomed the arrival of a Liebherr Group LHM 550 crane, designed for handling heavy project cargo, including offshore wind energy components, dry bulk goods, and containers. With a lifting capacity of 144 tonnes (hook) and 19/25 m3 (stone/grain grab), and a 54-metre outreach, the LHM 550 is set to enhance the port's operational capabilities. The crane is scheduled to start operations in mid-November. Since its arrival, two Liebherr employees have been managing the setup, which has included dismantling transport equipment, installing wire rope, and testing key components such as the grab, hook block, container yoke, and a fire extinguishing system. The addition of the LHM 550 will provide a significant boost to the Port of Aalborg’s ability to handle large-scale projects and support the growing offshore wind sector.
