Description

Apparatus for handling and storing synthetic fibre ropes or lines
The present invention relates to an apparatus for handling and storing synthetic fibre ropes or lines, as disclosed in the preamble of attached claim 1.
The apparatus will preferably, but not necessarily, be used in connection with floating offshore installations, and be adapted for reception at, storage on board and deployment from a ship.
In connection with, inter alia, the anchoring and mooring of floating offshore installations, offshore windmills, offshore wave power plants or other types of floating offshore installations, particularly in connection with offshore activities and use of support vessels or supply ships such as anchor handling vessels, it has gradually become more common to use synthetic fibre ropes and mooring lines instead of chain or wire of iron or steel. This has to do with the fact that a rope of this kind, both when dry and when wet, weighs far less than metal of the same strength. In water, a fibre rope will be almost weightless. Fibre ropes have a high breaking strength and are easier to handle in air and water than substantially heavier chain or more rigid and heavier wire.
Storage of chain on board the ship normally takes place by using chain lockers or specially constructed chain compartments below deck, the chain being dropped continuously and often uncontrolledly into the locker or compartment and becoming distributed therein in a haphazard manner, whilst storage of fibre ropes and mooring lines on board a ship traditionally takes place by using winch drums either above the ship's deck, on the ship's deck, or in certain cases even below the ship's deck.
Flushing of rope, chain or wire as it is taken up from the sea normally takes place as it passes over the stern of the ship or the stern roller.
The use of a winch drum for storing wound-up rope is a costly and space-consuming storage method, in particular when there is a need for simultaneous storage of a large number of ropes on board, where the storage capacity normally is limited because there are physical constraints as regards how many winch drums it is practically possible and cost-justifiable to have permanently or temporarily installed on board. When they are located above deck, their weight and the stability of the ship must also be taken into account. This means in reality that the number of rope lengths which can be stored on board simultaneously is thus naturally very limited. Operationally, this sets limitations as regards the number of rope lengths an offshore ship, an anchor handling vessel or a supply ship can deploy or deliver into the sea, or take in or haul up from the sea and at the same time store in a practical, sensible and cost-efficient manner.
There has therefore long been an increasing need to find a simple, yet efficient and inexpensive way of handling such fibre ropes or synthetic ropes as regards storage on board any offshore service ship whatsoever.
According to the invention, the apparatus referred to above is characterised in that below the ship's deck there is provided at least one rope storing tank or compartment for the feeding-in, coiling and storage of the rope in successive layers in the tank or compartment, and for the feeding-out the rope from the tank.
Additional embodiments of the apparatus are set forth in attached subsidiary claims 2- 23.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings which show non- limiting exemplary embodiments of the apparatus.
Fig. 1 shows the principle of the apparatus according to the invention.
Fig. 2 shows part of an offshore vessel, anchor handling vessel or supply ship equipped with an apparatus according to the invention where the rope is being moved from a storage tank to the ship's winches.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a supply ship with a plurality of rope storing tanks that are a part of the apparatus according to the invention, where the rope is being moved from storage tank to sea or shore.
Fig. 4 shows part of an offshore ship, anchor handling vessel or supply ship with an exemplified rope storing tank according to the invention that is in cooperation with a shore-based winch drum or winch drum on board another offshore ship for winding up or paying out rope.
Figs. 1-4 shows an apparatus for handling mooring line or fibre rope 1 for reception at, storage on board and deployment from an offshore ship, anchor handling vessel or supply ship 2. As shown in Figs. 2-4, the apparatus consists of at least one rope storing tank 3 below the ship's deck 2' equipped with a device 4, 5 for the feeding-in and controlled or natural coiling and storage of the rope 1 in successive layers in the tank 3, the rope 1 passing through a feeding-in and feeding-out opening or port 3' which can be opened in the top of the tank. Similarly, there is equipment 5, as part of the said device for controlled feeding-out of the rope 1 from the tank 3. Said device 4, 5 and equipment 5 are, if necessary, designed to cooperate with any winch drum 6 which primarily is located on board the ship. As a supplement, said device and equipment may also cooperate with a winch drum 7 that is located onshore or on board another ship, as shown in Fig. 4.
The ship-based winch drum 6 is arranged to take in the rope 1 from the sea 8 prior to subsequent storage in the tank 3. Feeding the rope 1 to the tank 3 will as a rule take place from the winch drum 6 or 7. Slack rope 1 can also be fed to the tank 3 directly from the sea. The ship-based winch drum 6 is in addition adapted to take the rope 1 from the tank 3 to the winch drum 6 either directly or via device 5 for tension control prior to subsequent deployment thence from the ship 2, for example, by passing the rope 1 into the sea 8 when the rope is or is not operationally connected to, for example, chain, wire, anchor or other equipment that is to be placed on the seabed, or the rope is to be used for, example, for towing. Other use of the rope is of course possible. The rope 1 may conceivably also be conveyed into the sea 8 directly from the tank 3 by means of device 5.
It is also conceivable that said device 4, 5 and equipment 5' cooperate with the shore- based or other ship mounted winch drum 7 for either feeding the rope 1 thence to the tank 3, or feeding the rope 1 from the tank 3 to the shore-based or other ship mounted winch drum 7. This is especially appropriate for filling a supply ship 2 with or emptying it of a desired number of, for example, new, previously used or repaired rope lengths, or for taking ashore or to another ship rope lengths for intermediate storage, repair or disposal, or for providing space and the possibility for rope lengths of another diameter, specification and/or length to be brought on board the ship.
In another connection, it may be appropriate to allow the ship-based winch drum 6 to be adapted to take in the rope 1 from the sea 8 prior to storage in the tank 3, the feeding of the rope 1 to the tank 3 taking place from the winch drum 6, after which the shore-based or other ship mounted drum 7 is adapted, when the ship 2 lies close to the shore or is offshore, to take the rope 1 from the tank 3 for subsequent storage and handling of the rope ashore or on board another ship. In another example, the shore-based or other ship mounted winch drum 7 holding wound-up rope 1 may be adapted to cooperate with said device 4, 5 for feeding the rope 1 to the tank 3. In this case, as will also be understood from the above, a winch drum 6 on board the ship will be adapted to take the rope 1 out of the tank 3 for winding onto the ship-based winch drum 6 prior to deployment thence from the ship 2.
Although it is possible to purpose-build such storage tanks 3, it is a fact that many offshore supply ships today have tanks installed on board below deck for the storage of liquid cargo during transport to and from offshore platforms and installations.
According to a feature of the invention, it is fully possible to allow such a rope storing tank or compartment to be formed of a converted existing tank or compartment. The tank or compartment may in section be circular, rectangular or have another shape.
The tank 3 may advantageously have an internal rope coiling core 9, wherein the core at the bottom 9' may have an almost truncated conical shape which, in its upper, narrowest region 9", may pass into an upright column 9"' with varying requirements for diameter. Upright column 9'" may also extend right down to the bottom of the tank 3 without any conical configuration. Also at the bottom of the tank 3, there is
advantageously an outlet 10 for water that runs off the rope 1 when it is coiled in the tank 3 and after it lies in layers in the tank. The water connection 10 may also advantageously be used in the reverse manner to fill the tank 3 with water to wash the tank 3 and/or the rope 1 whilst it is stored in the tank 3.
As indicated in Figs. 1 and 3, the core 9 is preferably formed of assembled, spaced-apart upright and transverse ribs. The core 9 may also be formed of a solid tube of varying diameter. At an upper region 9"", the upright column 9"' is advantageously equipped with a rope guide 4 which is manually or mechanically manually/automatically rotatable in a horizontal plane. In the illustrated example, the rope guide 4 is controlled manually by an operator 11 who stands on a secured platform 12. But it is of course fully possible to replace the operator with a mechanically, manually or automatically controlled drive means which causes the rope guide 4 to move in a 360-degree path in order to help guide the rope into the correct laying in each individual layer. In this connection, it is conceivable that the rope guide 4 is either telescopic, scissor-shaped or may have its angle to the horizontal plane changed, such that the rope is laid in the correct laying radius on each turn. It is also conceivable that the rope 1 coils itself into or out of the tank 3 directly through the feed opening 3' without any form of mechanical or manual actuation.
The aforementioned device 4, 5 thus consists of the rope guide 4 and said equipment 5 5 which is in the form of a controllable or movable guiding roller 5 for the rope 1. The guiding roller 5 is driven by a variable speed motor 5', and the guiding roller 5 is preferably mounted on the ship's deck 2' close to or above the feeding-in and feeding- out opening 3' in the tank 3. The guiding roller 5 may advantageously be configured and arranged such that, if necessary, it can exert a certain clamping effect on the rope 1 i o as the rope 1 is fed into or out of the tank 3, for the purpose of obtaining a certain
tension in the rope 1 towards the winch 6 or 7, the sea 8 or other apparatus.
There is basically no limit to the number of or location of compartments or tanks for rope storing, although there is a limitation related to available space below the ship's
15 deck.
