Safer deck operations
The safest possible working
environment for operators
Offshore anchorhandlers and supply vessels are distinguished
from many other types of ship because the deck crew have to carry
out demanding operations at sea, often under tough weather
conditions and high waves. For anchorhandlers the work involves
handling heavy wires, ropes and chains under tension when laying
out rig and platform moorings, work which traditionally exposed
the deck crew to risk of severe injury. Platform supply vessels have
to transfer containerised, liquid and powder cargoes while lying in
dynamic postioning mode under the rig crane, again t raditionally
putting deck crew at risk.

Then attitudes in the offshore oil and gas industry to crew i njury
egan to change, and Rolls-Royce has been at the forefront of
b various anchorhandling winches, shark jaws, towing pins and
developing equipment and systems for Safer Deck Operations.
As ship designers and system integrators and not just product
manufacturers we understand the whole problem.
The Rolls-Royce appoach to Safer Deck Operations is to mechanise
the heavy manual work with powered handling equipment, for
example manipulators on crane jibs for shackling operations on
wires and chain. The systems are remote controlled by the crew
from a safe vantage point. Other items of equipment include
centring devices to ensure that mooring chains and wires are under
full control at all times.
As oil exploration and production have moved into deep waters,
often far offshore, the weight of rig anchors and associated
moorings has increased, and with it the need for larger winches
and handling systems, including anchor launch and recovery
equipment, remote operated to minimise the risk to crew working
on deck.
Focus on improved safety offshore has led to a dramatic reduction in i njuries
to crew working on deck, as these 2104 figures from the Norwegian Maritime
Directorate show. Our Safer Deck Operations system and equipment make a
major contribution to a safer working e
nvironment.
Platform supply vessels carrying pipes, containers or other cargo on
deck present some different hazards which have been minimised
with the introduction of the Safer Deck Operations equipment. The
automated sea fastening system lock deck cargo in place at sea,
preventing dangerous cargo shifting. Remote operated rail cranes
and safer hose operating system help to keep crew away from
hazardous locations.
All these systems have helped to reduce deck crew injuries, cutting
incidences by more than 50 per cent in ten years.

Deck machinery for offshore anchor handling

tug supply vessels (AHTS)

Rolls-Royce is the leader in developing the very large anchor
handling/towing winches that are the heart of an AHTS. They are
made with capacities of more than 600 tonnes pull, and with drums
capable of spooling wire rope for the deepest water moorings.
These winches and the control winch system are suitable for all
sizes of anchor handlers, and the winches are tailored to the specific
vessel and its operations.
Our experience shows that the key feature of an AHT winch is rapid
dynamic response. Our low pressure hydraulic driven w inches
are established favourites because of their excellent dynamic
performance. The newly developed E26 proportional pressure
compensated valve offers even more precise and responsive load
independent speed control, more accurate tension control and load
sensing and less complex piping installation for the shipyard.
A hybrid solution has also been developed where the normal loads
are covered by AC asynchronous electric motors but with a hydraulic
supplement providing quick response to load peaks. We are also

Automated handling systems

for subsea vessels
Deepwater installation will continue to grow strongly and the
number of wells in waters of more than 1500 metres depth will
increase substantially in coming years. This growth is creating an
increased demand for offshore construction and installation vessels
which can operate in deep seas to install and maintain the subsea
hardware. Fields in ultra-deep water (more than 1 500 metres) lie
primarily off the West coast of Africa, in the Gulf of Mexico and off
the coast of Brazil.
We offer multi-purpose aft-deck systems for offshore vessels
operating in the subsea sector. Our solutions have been developed
to enhance operational efficiency of our customers. Features such as
active heave compensation, enable vessels to execute operations in
harsh weather conditions, significantly increasing the operability of
our systems. We play an active role in the customers development of
their operations and we constantly seek the optimal solution for the
customers critical operations.
customised to dedicated ships or operations, but always ensure safe
and easy access to subsea equipment when on deck and horizontal
guiding of the equipment during launch and recovery through the
moon pool. Our skid systems, consisting of pallets and tractors,
ensure that modules can be transported safely between the tower
and back deck without the need for lifting. In this way, our c ustomers
can safely and efficiently carry out their operations in heavy seas
where normal crane operations are not safe due to the severe
vessel motions. The tower can utilise either traditional wire rope or
low weight synthetic fibre rope, both with high performance and
accurate heave compensation.
Cable Traction Control Unit (CTCU)
The unique and patented CTCU technology allows the traditional
steel wire rope to be replaced with synthetic fibre rope for lifting
purposes. In addition to being field repairable, where worn parts
of the rope can be replaced at sea, and offering easy logistics,
lightweight synthetic fibre ropes maintain the lifting capacity
virtually unaffected by water depth. The net lifting capacity of a steel
wire rope is reduced significantly at great water depths due to the
weight of the wire itself. Typically, the net lifting capacity is
reduced by more than 50 per cent beyond 3000 metres.
Five frame sizes of CTCU are offered, spanning safe working
loads from 30 to 250 tonnes giving nearly 500 tonnes lift in a
two-fall system. The CTCU also come with an integrated rope
management system, clearly visualising the condition of each part
of the rope so inspections and maintenance of worn parts of the
rope can be planned in due time and off-hire due to rope failure or
premature rope replacement is avoided.
Subsea cranes
Our integrated crane solutions are specially developed to meet the
challenges of maritime handling operations. The cranes are fully
integrated with our deck machinery handling and control systems
and offer unparalleled performance as well as reliability and
comfort. Through our cable traction control technology using fibre
rope, our cranes can operate at virtually unlimited depths.
For general handling of offshore equipment we offer dual draglink
cranes with capacities from 35 to 75 tonnes, and knuckle boom
cranes in the range from 150 to 250 tonnes.
Launch and recovery system (LARS)
Remotely operated vehicles play a key role in subsea operations,
and our extensive portfolio focusses primarily on active heave
compensated systems. The LARS is designed to handle the largest
work class ROVs to depths exceeding 4000 metres, deployed over
the side or through the moon pool. Our systems are designed, built
and certified with high focus on gentle handling of umbilical and
third party equipment. Taking into consideration the cost and time
loss you experience with a damaged cable, it is important to us
to provide systems which help our customers to extend umbilical
life time and minimise operation downtime. Safe handling of ROV
equipment on deck is ensured by the remote controlled pallet skid
system that enables the full deck area to be used.

Rolls-Royce provides a full range of deck machinery outfits for

Floating production storage

and off loading unit (FPSO)

FPSOs are often positioned on smaller or inaccessible fields, taking

oil from wells and storing it on board until it can be offloaded into
shuttle tankers for transport to shore terminals. They need to be
securely moored over the well and for this Rolls-Royce provides
reliable deck machinery tailored to the customers needs.

In a movable windlass installation each of the moorings lines has its

own fairlead and stopper. A single windlass moves along the frame
to tension each chain in turn, the stoppers are actuated and locked
on to the chain, transferring the mooring loads to the hull. An
alternative system has a triple windlass, one lifter to each mooring,
with associated stoppers and fairleads.

Spar platforms have the working decks supported by a buoyant

column ballasted at the bottom to keep it vertical. It is secured
on location by a spread mooring system. Fairleads are mounted
around the column and the chains are tensioned by chain jacks that
haul the chain up and lock it at the desired position. The system is
supplemented by hydraulic power packs, a control and monitoring
system with load measurement, and local control consoles.

1 1. The chain jack is scalable to suit the

customers required chain size and can
be delivered with both push and pull
cylinders.

2. Our windlass solutions can be

delivered as an all electric winch, a
feature that helps our customers to
remove unnecessary oil on deck.

Complete handling system solutions for

oceanographic research vessels

Systems are designed to suit the particular ship, creating optimum

solutions with respect to both operational needs and available
space. By working together with the customers and ship designers,
this ensures systems are reliable and optimised for the ships tasks
and missions.

Rolls-Royce assists the work of an oceanographic research v essel
in deploying scientific equipment from the stern or side of the
ship to sample the water column, investigate life in the sea or
on the s eabed, and examine the geology of the ocean floor. The
oceanographic equipment puts a variety of demands on the
handling system. Some items are towed behind the vessel, some are
lowered and lifted, others are dropped freely and then hauled up.
We typically provide a suite of specialised winches and fairleads,
A-frames and side gantries, and specialised tools for safely setting
out and recovering items of scientific equipment. Combined
with an integrated state of the art control system,
this ensures efficient operations, careful
handling of in-sea equipment and
increases safety.
With the unique and patented Cable Traction Control Unit (CTCU)
technology, the traditional steel wire rope can be replaced with fibre
rope. The usefulness of a steel wire rope at depths greater than
4000 metres is limited, whereas the fibre rope has the same capacity
at all depths. For example coring operation at depths below
4000 metres can be efficiently performed with the CTCU. The
compact version of the CTCU has a pulling capacity up to 30 tonnes,
and rope lengths up to 12,000 metres can be accommodated. CTCU
systems with pulling capacity up to 150 tonnes can be delivered.
We offer frames for handling hydrographic equipment over the stern
with ratings up to 30 tonnes, an outreach of 4.5 metres and a clear
lifting height of 8 metres.
Parallelogram frame
Other equipment includes parallelogram frames for side
launching and recovery, deep tow and deep water coring
systems, handling equipment for piston coring, with the
associated active heave compensated winch systems.
The CTCU has separate drive to
each sheave. Individual speed
control ensures that there is no
slip on the sheaves. Modes and
features like active heave
compensation, constant tension,
pull limit and automatic
landing/lift-off are available.

Auto trawl system Key features

The Synchro RTX Autotrawl system provides dynamic control of
single-rig and twin-rig bottom trawling, pelagic trawling and pair
trawling. The trawl system is one of the most advanced on the
market, using integrated safety logic and a user-friendly interface.
Essential control and monitoring functions are fully integrated,
giving major benefits during commissioning and operation. This
system keeps the trawls fully open when changing course during
trawling. The trawl is kept moving at constant speed, even under
difficult conditions. If the trawl snags, the system pays out wire
