Overboarding Chutes

Roller-mounted stern, side and moonpool chutes that carry cable, umbilical or pipe from the tensioner to the catenary. Each radius is designed to the product's minimum bend specification.

Specification

Overboarding Chute

  • Stern, side or moonpool
  • Up to 15 m span
  • 12 – 60 t
  • DNV / BV / LR

The chute guides product over the stern or side of the vessel while respecting its minimum bend radius, giving a smooth load transfer into the catenary. Radius, span and roller layout are sized per project and confirmed during FEED.

  • Handles cable, umbilical, flexible or pipe
  • Polyurethane or coated-steel rollers at 200 – 400 mm pitch
  • Welded to deck and sea-fastened
  • Indicative ranges; final specification is project-dependent
