WBRS in Operation

Solution: utilize deckhead mounted handling hardware developed for seismic survey vessels. Many of these vessels have 2 mission bays

equipped with handling equipment for overboarding and moving payloads within these mission bays.

Unmanned vehicles & mission packages must be stowed and moved within mission bay

Telescoping Boom/Source Handling System

SWL of 6 tonne on each boom

can be designed to traverse entire width and length of mission bay

Overhead X-Y Crane for Open Deck

System is 27 m wide, can traverse the entire length of the 70 m deck, and can lift two 9.5 T packages. A separate telescoping boom is used to deploy the air guns.

Low profile ROV handling system - telescoping davit pivots to deploy payload closer to waterline

Moves athwartships on rails; alows multiple payloads to be handled

Stows flush with deckhead when not in use, providing clear deck space

Deckhead Mounted Over-the-Side Handling Equipment

Advanced Crane/Davits

For vessels with an open deck, USVs and UUVs could be handled with cranes that move on rails to cover the entire deck

Cranes can be fitted with custom docking heads suited to the payload

ASFA- automatic sea fastening systemKeeping deck cargo in place

New automated sea fastening system for positioning and securing cargo on the deck of supply vessels, greatly reducing the exposure of the crew to risk of injury
