Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transfer system for transferring goods from and/or to a floating ship. Goods can be transferred to a floating ship and a platform at shore or off-shore.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a transfer system for transferring goods to a ship and a platform ship or shore.
  • the housing provides a foundation element to which, preferably, the winch system is attached.
  • the cable system connects the winch system to the destination with a connecting element, for example a cable-sheave that is positioned at the destination by a person or apparatus.
  • a small cable may be passed and connected to the main cable.
  • the main cable can be used directly.
  • the goods are transferred using the winch system and the cable system that is provided with a hook for carrying the goods, for example.
  • the goods to transfer include as examples canned fluids, spare parts and paint. Other goods are also possible to transfer with the system according to the invention.
  • the destination may be a fixed (oil) platform, a ship, a stranded vessel, or the shore.
  • the weight of the goods amounts about 250-500 kg, although other weights are possible with an accordingly designed system according to the invention.
  • the transfer system according to the invention comprises a maximum of one ongoing cable.
  • the total number of system parts for the transfer of goods is kept to a minimum.
  • the winch system of the transfer system comprises a tensioning winch and a transfer winch.
  • the transfer winch transfers the goods by displacing the cable with the hook for carrying the goods.
  • the tensioning winch prevents the goods from dropping into the water, for example.
  • the foundation element comprises a foundation beam.
  • the foundation element is retractable in the housing and/or rotatable relative to the housing.
  • Providing a retractable foundation element a compact system is achieved. This limits storage space on a ship, for example.
  • a retractable element enables the application of a modular system with the system being provided in a housing shaped as a box or container. This achieves a compact system, and preferably a portable system.
  • by providing a rotatable foundation element the flexibility of the system is improved. This renders positioning of a ship involved in the transfer of goods more easy.
  • the transfer system further comprises a tension controller for maintaining the cable tension within certain limits.
  • Such tension controller can be implemented as an electric and/or mechanic controller.
  • the transfer system further comprises a position controller for maintain a fixed position for the load relative to the destination in an approach mode.
  • a relatively fast transfer may be achieved between the pick-up and drop zones, while a slow transfer may be achieved for approaching the destination.
  • a fixed position may be used when picking up and/or dropping the goods. Also, a fixed position may be used when switching between different modes.
  • the controller of the transfer system comprises an approach system for transferring the load in the approach mode.
  • Providing a separate approach system achieves optimal control of the transfer operation, especially when delivering the goods at the destination.
  • the transfer system further comprises an emergency system for paying out the cable that is provided with an overload connection that releases the cable from the winch at a certain overload.
  • the transfer system further comprises a power supply.
  • a separate power supply for the transfer system may be provided.
  • the power supply is integrated in the housing of the system thereby achieving a modular system.
  • the present invention also relates to a ship provided with the above transfer system.
  • the invention further also relates to a method for transferring goods to and/or from a floating ship, comprising the steps of:
  • Such method provides the same effects and advantages as those related to the system and the ship.
  • the ship approaches the platform and a messenger line is brought over from the ship to the platform.
  • a sheave block is attached to the messenger line and is pulled to the platform to be attached to the platform.
  • the tensioning winch will pay out the wire to reduce the pulling force required for the operator on the platform.
  • the operator attaches the sheave block to the platform.
  • the ship will move away from the platform while paying out the tensioning winch and maintaining a certain (small) tension in the cable.
  • the transferring method comprises as a step the switching between a transfer mode wherein goods are transferred towards the destination, to an approach mode wherein a position controller maintaining a fixed position for the load relative to the destination.
  • a position controller maintaining a fixed position for the load relative to the destination.
  • an approach system adds a steering signal to the position controller signal to perform the final approach of the goods to the destination.
  • a ship or vessel 2 ( figure 1 A-C ) comprises a transfer system 4 on the aft deck 6.
  • goods G are transferred using transfer system 4 from ship 2 to and/or from the shore 8, other ship 10, and fixed platform 12.
  • cable 14 runs from system 4 to connection or hook 16 on shore 8, ship 10 or platform 12.
  • Endless cable 14 is provided with hook 40 for carrying goods G between ship 2 and shore 8, ship 10 or platform 12 over water 18.
  • System 4 ( figure 2 A-C ) consists of a standard container size box 20 provided with winch system 22.
  • winch system 22 comprises two electrical, frequency controlled winches 24,26, a tensioning winch and a transfer winch.
  • Frame 28 comprises two sheaves 30, 32 on top, a line or cable 14 running from the tensioning winch 24 through sheave block 30 to a hook 16. From hook 16 line 14 runs to winch 26.
  • Box 20 further comprises an E-cabinet 30. Hinge 30 enables closing of modular box 20 from an opened position ( figure 2A ) via a closing position ( figure 2B ) to a closed position ( figure 2C ).
  • system 4 is capable of transferring goods G of 250 kg, with a minimal operational distance to platform 12 of 10 m., and a maximum operational distance to platform 12 of 50 m.
  • the operational horizontal angle ⁇ is in the range of -30° to +60°.
  • Transferring goods G starts by vessel 2 approaching platform 12. A messenger line is brought over from vessel 2 to platform 12. The sheave block 16 is attached to the messenger line and is pulled to platform 12 to be attached to the platform 12. The tensioning winch 26 will pay out the wire or cable 14 to reduce the pulling force required for the operator on platform 12. The operator attaches the sheave block 16 to platform 12. Next vessel 2 will move away from platform 2 while paying out the tensioning winch 26 and maintaining a certain (small) tension in cable 14.
  • the tensioning winch 26 When vessel 2 is a safe distance from platform 12, for example with a maximum of 50 m, the tensioning winch 26 will maintain a certain set tension in cable 14 using tensioning units 38.
  • the tension in wire 14 is depending on the weight of the load G and the angle ⁇ of the line between vessel 2 and platform 12.
  • the hook 40 for carrying goods G is close to vessel 2.
  • a chain hoist or other sling is installed to the hook 40 and the load G hoisted.
  • the transfer winch 24 When the transfer winch 24 is paid out, the load will move towards platform 12.
  • Tensioning winch 26 will automatically pay in wire 14, while maintaining the set tension in wire 14. This tension can be adjusted at any time during the transfer.
  • system 4 When hook 40 approaches platform 12, system 4 is switched from a transfer mode to an approach mode.
  • the two winches 24,26 will operate at the same speed to maintain a fixed position with respect to the platform. This is relevant considering the conditions of transfer involving weather conditions and open sea operation. In the illustrated embodiment this mode can be overruled for the final approach of the load to the platform, for example with a joystick.
  • the preset tension in wire or cable 14 is reduced and vessel 2 will be positioned close to platform 12.
  • the sheave block 16 at platform 12 is disconnected and lowered with the messenger line.
  • the tensioning winch 26 will maintain a (small) tension in cable 14 while paying in wire 14.
  • the operator on platform 12 will slowly let go the messenger line.
  • an emergency break out is provided that is of relevance in case of an emergency, such as loss of position control of the vessel or other, and system 4 will pay out wire 14. If the emergency situation is not solved before wire 14 runs out, the wire connection with the winch drum will release wire 14 with a certain overload.
  • System 4 can be controlled with a remote wireless radio controlled box (not shown).
  • this box has the following functions of: On/ Off switch, proportional joystick for control of the winches, selector for constant tension setting, mode selection switch (transfer/approach), Manual winch selection switch (transfer winch/tensioning winch/both), display for wire payout and tensioning information/status, emergency switch, and master/slave selector (only applicable with optional second control box).
  • the interfaces with vessel 2 are limited to the mechanical interface and the electrical interface.
  • container 20 is connected to vessel 2 by means of (container) lashings or welding.
  • the electrical interface is the power feeding to container 20.
  • a waste energy resistor is included in the system, so no energy is returned to the vessel's circuit.
  • the interface with platform 12 is limited to a (removable) pad eye for mounting of the sheave block 16.
  • system 4 is electrically powered from vessel 2.
  • a power connection is mounted at the side of container 20.
  • Required power input is 440V, 3ph, 60 Hz, or other upon request.
