Definitions

  • a naval vessel requires fresh supplies of, for example, food and ammunition, and does not have convenient or safe access to a friendly port to obtain these supplies
  • the supplies will be brought to the vessel by an auxiliary vessel, and transferred between the vessels at sea. Whilst the two vessels travel adjacent one another at the same speed on the same heading, a light pilot line is passed from one vessel to the other, this line then being used to pull a heavier cable across the gap between the vessels.
  • One end of the cable may be connected to a fixed anchor point on one vessel, while the anchor point on the other vessel may be movable to maintain a desired tension on the cable. Once the cable has been secured, a test load is sent across between the vessels, typically on a pulley suspended from the cable, and all being well the appropriate supplies are then transferred between the vessels.
  • the anchor points are provided at appropriate replenishment at sea (RAS) stations on the vessels.
  • RAS replenishment at sea
  • the weight and configuration of the loads to be transferred will vary and hence the rigging used to support the load from the cable may have to be varied for each traverse. It is therefore often necessary to adjust the height of the cable relative to the adjacent deck area to accommodate an outgoing or incoming load.
  • This may be achieved by the provision of a RAS station in which the cable anchor point may be raised and lowered on a mechanism affixed to a purpose built mast or other support structure on the vessel. This also allows for loads to be raised and lowered to facilitate traverse between the two vessels, and for rigging and de-rigging of loads.
  • RAS stations While such arrangements are generally effective and have been in wide use for many years, RAS stations are only used periodically, and the mast and associated equipment occupy valuable deck space which is not available for other purposes. Also, the deck area around the mast must be kept clear to provide an area in front of the mast where supplies may be safely landed and handled, and also to allow vehicular access to the deck area in front of the mast; supplies are often carried to and from RAS stations by fork lift vehicles, which must be able to manoeuvre safely into positions where supplies can be unloaded and uplifted.
  • an apparatus for use in transferring supplies between two vessels at sea comprising:
  • the platform is actuated by a piston and cylinder arrangement.
