TRELLEBORG HARBOUR MARINE

Trelleborg Harbour Marine (THM) has been a leading global manufacturer of advanced docking, mooring and monitoring systems for the oil and gas industries since 1971. The rapid growth in oil and gas terminals and their safety-first philosophy has led to sophisticated systems integration. THM leads the way with a wide range of modular hardware, control and instrumentation solutions that all help to ensure safe berthing and mooring in critical and demanding environments. All systems are extensively tested and proven in practice the main reason why Trelleborg Harbour Marine is the preferred supplier on most of the worlds latest LNG terminal projects.

Safety First
Every component of every THM module is designed with safety in mind: B Equipment is fully certified for hazardous locations B Failsafe designs prevent accidents and unexpected events B Operators are kept clear of dangerous zones B Early warning and predictive systems reduce risk levels.

The Safety Cycle

Productivity
Solutions are tailored for every project: B Better control over vessel approach reduces turnaround times B Automation and shared information means more efficient operations B Data logging helps optimise and fine-tune procedures B Systems easily upgraded or expanded to meet future needs

INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS
Integration is the key to maximum mum safety and optimum productivity. Trelleborg org Harbour Marine solutions can combine e the outputs from docking and mooring systems stems with environmental and forecasting asting data, fender monitoring and drift warning devices. Local and centrally entrally processed information is then n redistributed to virtual consoles, les, local and remote alarms and to portable receivers on the terminal or ship. Retrofits and upgrades are e also available, so even older facilities can benefit from the latest technology, or systems can be added to as needs change. All modules are available for THM M and alternative manufacturer hooks ks and hardware.

QUICK RELEASE HOOKS

Quick Release Hooks (QRH) enable mooring lines to be quickly and easily released, even under full load conditions. A variety of mounting options exist for the quick release hook. Typically a cast QRH base is used for new installations. To upgrade older facilities, fabricated hook bases can be designed to suit existing hold-down bolt patterns to replace bollards or old QRHs. THM hooks can also be retrofitted to existing bases from other suppliers, considerably reducing on-site civil works.

Hook features
B Single and multiple hook arrays in sizes to suit all applications B Base designs available to suit new, retrofit and upgrade projects B Integrated capstans with motors protected within the mounting base B Hazardous area certified (where applicable) B Hooks can work at large horizontal and vertical angles B Fail safe release mechanisms are enclosed within the hook body B Hooks permit controlled release at all working loads B 20kg release lever load complies with health and safety guidelines B Counterbalanced hook for easy reset B Cast hook profile minimises chafing of mooring lines B Low maintenance, durable design is well proven, reliable and refined

Every hook is factory tested and certied to at least 125% of rated load.

Applications

QUICK RELEASE HOOKS

Capstans
Capstan motors are fully enclosed within the hook base for ultra-low maintenance, corrosion protection and reliability. Various load ratings and running speeds are available to suit all ship sizes and mooring line materials.

Manual Release
All hook release components are enclosed within the hook side plates, protecting the mechanism from debris and damage. A 20kg force is required to release the hook at full load whilst a single operator stands safely behind the hook.

Rope Guards
Rope guards preventing slack mooring lines from accidentally detaching at high vertical angles.

Hazardous Area Operations

All electrical components are certified for hazardous area operations (where required). The hook design prevents contact with the structure during mooring and on release, eliminating spark risk.

Positive Hook Locking

The fail safe hook mechanism ensures a positive reset confirmed by easy visual check (with optional remote verification). This prevents hairtrigger and accidental release which can occur with inferior designs.

Mounting Bases
Single or multiple hook configurations are available. Bases can be cast or fabricated to suit new or retrofit installations. Upgrade options include bases to fit existing anchor arrays.

Counterbalanced Hooks
The cast mooring hook is counterbalanced for easy reset by operators. The smooth hook profile properly supports mooring ropes, reducing stress concentrations and chafing.

Large Mooring Angles

Hooks can rotate under full load through horizontal angles up to 90 and vertical angles up to 45. Hinge pins will never freeze and need minimal maintenance.

The hook series designates the safe working load of each hook. (eg. 75 Series hooks have an SWL of 75 tonnes) All hooks are proof loaded to their corresponding proof load. Mounting bases are designed to accept the combined loads from multiple hooks. Dimensions are typical and nominal. Always request a certified hook or base drawing before starting any construction. Capstan heights (G) may vary slightly depending on capacity selection. Drawings may change due to our continuous improvement processes. Current drawings will be provided on request. Custom bases are available on request to suit existing bolt patterns or unique applications.

DOCKING AID SYSTEMS

SmartDock is a family of docking aid systems (DAS) used by jetty operators and pilots to monitor the approach of berthing ships. Systems are based on lasers, differential GPS or Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS technologies.

SmartDock Laser
SmartDock Laser uses a pair of laser sensors to measure the distance and angle of a docking ship in the critical range of 200m to 0m from the berthing line. Lasers will function in poor visibility including heavy rain and are eye-safe to the highest FDA Class 1 standard. The data provided to jetty operators, pilots and ship masters is used to prevent over-speed and large angle approaches, allowing early corrections to the manoeuvre long before a potential accident situation arises. SmartDock Laser can be switched to drift-off when the ship is moored. At a preset distance from the berthing line, alarms are raised on the jetty and ship. On oil and gas jetties this provides added protection for the loading arms.

DOCKING AID SYSTEMS

Lasers provide centimetre accuracy in all weathers at ranges up to 200m.

The berthing approach is monitored remotely with early warning alarms.

Data for every berthing is logged for later analysis and training.

SmartDock GPS
SmartDock GPS offers high precision navigation and berthing. Positional accuracy is better than 60cm using differentially corrected GPS (DGPS). With Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS technology, up to 3cm precision is achievable. Vessels are displayed on digital charts that also show superimposed jetty structures. Rate of turn and heading accuracy is better than the ships own onboard equipment. The position of other vessels can be integrated with the display using an Automated Information System (AIS) feed.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
Wind, wave and current forces can significantly affect vessel handling, particularly during low speed manoeuvres. Most larger oil and LNG facilities now require meteorological and oceanographic (MetOcean) sensors to provide this data whilst ships are docking and moored. Data is collected from a variety of MetOcean sensors via cable or telemetry and can be relayed to portable monitors carried by pilots and other remote users.

Current monitoring
Current speed and direction are measured at fixed depths or over the full water column at one or multiple sites along the jetty. It is also common to add remote sensors in turning basins, approach channels and at offshore mooring locations.

Wave and tide data

Wave height, profile and tide data are provided by a non-contact laser mounted to the jetty. Wave direction can also be measured using immersed sensors or buoys. Offshore current meter Side looking current meter

Forecasting Services
Real-time forecasting services improve productivity and safety by predicting weather and wave heights to give advance warning of significant events which may hamper berthing, mooring, cargo transfer or departure. Typical MetOcean virtual display Non-contact wave height laser
