TTS gets active

摘要

Anchor-handling is being made both safer and more efficient by TTS Offshore Handling Equipment, with the introduction of active heave compensation (AHC) on its winches. The company says that by combining the best technology from each product, it has developed a winch that is described as the "next generation" for AHTS vessels. The modifications can fit on any TTS standard anchor-handling/ towing winch. The system does not require unique vessel design and can be fitted on any AHT or AHTS vessel. It can also be retrofitted to existing vessels. The system will enable vessels to operate in new working areas such as subsea deployment, installation of large suction anchors and other operations that require AHC technology.
