Unmanned vehicles & mission packages must be stowed and moved within mission bay 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.
Seismic vessel deckhead mounted handling equipment Telescoping 3 axis boom for handling and stowing air gun arrays
Seismic vessel deckhead mounted handling equipment Telescoping booms with docking heads to facilitate safe transfer launch, recovery and stowage of seismic sources
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.
Deckhead Mounted Over-the-Side Handling Equipment • 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
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 system Keeping 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
