Subsea cable-laying is a delicate operation and subject to risk of cable failure. To safeguard product integrity, an installation campaign has to be interrupted when higher waves occur. Waiting on weather can put a strain on your project.
Huisman introduces the Motion Compensated Cable-Lay System, a safe and efficient solution for the installation and repair of inter-array cables.
The Motion Compensated Cable-Lay System compensates the vertical motion at the chute, stabilising the catenary. You can operate in higher sea states and extend your operational weather window.
By increasing your vessel’s workability, you can operate up to 50% more days. Installation campaigns and repairs can now be completed faster and throughout the year.
The state-of-the-art cable-lay equipment is designed to safeguard product integrity during all stages of installation, by lowering the cable in a safe and controlled manner onto the seabed and facilitating burial at the required depth.
The quadrant is fully restrained from the start of the operation until it is released below the splash zone.
The quadrant handling system is equipped with a cursor system. The quadrant motions are fully restrained until deployed beneath the splash zone.
The system can be installed swiftly because of its modular design and simple interface.
The radius of the quadrant can be adjusted from the MBR to straight during lowering.
Motion compensation keeps the touch down point of the cable within a smaller target box.
Synchronisation of the pull-in winch with the central control system ensures better control of pull-in operations.
The Motion Compensated Cable-Lay System reduces the tension variations in the laid cable to a narrow bandwidth, facilitating trenching.
CPS strings are loaded on board in containers and transferred to the firing line using a gutter system.
Our Motion Compensated Cable-Lay System has been integrated in Damen’s Offshore Carrier (DOC), introducing the world’s first motion compensated Cable-Laying vessel (CLV). Damen and Huisman offer the market a fully integrated solution specifically tuned to optimising operability and improving control and accuracy of cable placement.
