Ship layout business Ulstein Design & &(* )has actually made an overseas wind setup vessel that it claims is Solutions background-color: clear;”a safer, smarter, and more competitive ship design solution for transporting, upending and installing large monopiles on DP.”
The stated.
“This allows the ship to head into the waves during the installation process, minimizing ship motions and fuel consumption, while the U-STERN provides excellent shielding from the waves. Combining the U-STERN with transverse and longitudinal skidding systems, offshore lifts for monopiles are eliminated, as the main crane is only used to support the upending and lowering of the foundation,” Ulstein claims that the U-STERN appears like an easy recess in the strict,
Ulstein claims “but it is much more than that,”, Ko Stroo/Product Manager in Lead Naval Architect & &Ulstein Design BV.Solutions to
“The shape and location of the recess are finely tuned with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and motion analysis to make it work in harmony with the crane and mission equipment.”
According, the U-STERN has substantial advantages over Ulstein monopile setup on the side of a vessel.‘traditional’ advantages, per
The, are iUlstein ncreased operability because of a 25% decrease moving, outstanding wave protecting in the and also regulated upending of monopiles; ‘moonbay’ 50% power decrease in DP () procedures because of weather vaning; Dynamic Positioning port (and also offshore) associated difficulties connected to transverse monopile transportationAvoiding and also overthrowing; training procedures offshore.Safer claims
“The idea of longitudinal monopile installation originates in our vast experience in developing heavy lift pipelay vessels with a centerline firing line,” van Edwin, Leeuwen in Managing Director & & Ulstein Design BV.Solutions
