  • 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.
