Definitions

  • the transfer equipment may, for example, consist of a load traveller movable along a support line such as a jackstay between a swinging arm on the supply ship and a suitable terminal on the receiving ship or other structure, hereinafter referred to simply as the receiver, and for the bulk transfer of fluids the transfer equipment may consist of a flexible pipe supported either from trolleys on a tensioned line extending between the supply ship and the receiver, or from a derrick mounted on the supply ship and capable of being pivoted outwards towards the receiver.
  • Such a structure has the advantage that it can be fabricated separate from the ship, and its installation as a complete unit can be carried out more speedily and efficaciously than the fitting of the individual units separately, as is at present the practice.
  • the unitary structure may, for example, have a first compartment accommodating winches, a second compartment accommodating power converters for supplying power to the winches, and a third compartment accommodating control equipment therefor, the unitary structure being installed in the ship as a substantially complete unit.
  • the compartments are located one over the other in the structure which is economical of deck space, the third compartment comprising a control cabin and being at the top of the structure.
  • the installation is designed for use with combined solid and liquid transfer systems.
  • a swinging arm for solid article transfer and a derrick for supporting a flexible pipe or pipes for bulk fluid transfer, the latter being designed for operation alternatively in both the "conventional derrick” and “jackstay” modes, as will subsequently be described, depending upon the facilities on the receiver.
  • Each of these comprises a swinging arm 5 for use in transferring solid loads, the arm being movable vertically in a frame 6 to enable it to raise a load before being pivoted upwards and outwards to an operating position as shown on the left hand side of Figure 1.
  • the load is shared between two lines L forming a continuous loop, and both tensioning of the system and traversing of the load are achieved by winch drums 7, driven by hydraulic motors 17 (Fig 4).
  • a separate line M monitors changes in distance between the supply ship and the receiver, and means are provided for controlling the operation of the.winches automatically in response to changes in the distance to maintain a substantially constant tension in the lines for example as described in Patent .Specification No. 1185771.
  • the winch drums 7 associated with a transfer rig 4 are located within the central compartment 11 of a three compartment unitary structure 12, shown more clearly in Figure 4.
  • the structure is approximately square in plan view, the three compartments being located one above the other, with the lowest 13 of the compartments accommodating electric-motor-driven pumps 14 for driving the winch motors 17.
  • the upper compartment 15 of the structure comprises the control cabin and contains an operators console C, by which the movement of the swinging arm 5, and the derrick 8, and the operation of the winches can be controlled, the cabin being provided with windows 16 so positioned that an operator can observe the loading area at the base of the transfer rig, used for the-transfer of solid loads, the upper part of the derrick used for transferring oil, and a receiving ship to which the transfer of a load and/or oil is being effected.
  • Ventilation of the equipment trunk 11 is effected by means of ducts 29 extending to the top of the structure as shown more clearly in Figure 4.
  • drums of the individual units are preferably coupled to individual drive motors which may be either hydraulic or electric.
  • the jackstay winch is arranged to operate under the approximately "constant tension" conditions, and having been set by the operator at the required value will not normally need further attention during a transfer operation.
