Standard configuration
Dual-Carousel Lay Spread
Small motions of the overboarding chute become large swings in the catenary: the touch-down point shifts, cable drags across the seabed and waves along the catenary can overbend it. The system actively compensates the chute position so the catenary stays fixed in space while the vessel moves with the seaway.
- Constant catenary tension throughout lay operations
- Constant-tensioning chute keeps cable pre-tension steady during compensation moves
- Cable buffer allows reduced vessel transit speed during quadrant deployment
- Modular architecture for fast vessel mobilisation
