Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vessel for anchor handling according to any one of claims 1-11.
  • the present invention further relates to an assembly according to claim 12.
  • An anchor handling vessel is a vessel by means of which relatively heavy anchors are handled for anchoring objects, such as for example dredging vessels.
  • Other examples include semi-floating platforms as applied in the oil and gas industry, or work platforms for the construction of offshore wind farms and the like.
  • An anchor handling vessel consists of a hull with a bottom, a perimetral side and a deck, and usually has relatively limited dimensions with a limited gross tonnage.
  • an anchor handling system is provided consisting of a winch on which a handling line can be wound.
  • a winch On the deck of the vessel an anchor handling system is provided consisting of a winch on which a handling line can be wound.
  • a bow roller At the end of the hull, there is a bow roller.
  • the handling line is over the bow roller connected to a to be handled anchor.
  • the anchor continues to be connected via an anchor line to the to be anchored object. After the anchor is placed, the handling line is disconnected from the winch.
  • a known problem of such a relatively light vessel is that when lifting a relatively heavy anchor, which is suitable for use in the above mentioned applications, especially dredging operations, immersion of the deck can occur.
  • An important part of this is the circumstance that the handling line runs over the bow roller located at the end of the hull.
  • the anchor hanging on the handling therefore exercises a relatively large moment on the hull, such that the vessel may lie tilted.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a limited gross tonnage vessel, for example less than 500 tons, with the help of which relatively heavy objects, such heavy anchors, can be handled without that immersion of the deck of the vessel occurs.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a vessel with the help of which a heavy object, such as an anchor, can be handled safely during both lifting and lowering thereof.
  • a further goal is providing a vessel wherein a heavy object, such as an anchor, can be handled wherein the risk of damage to the vessel is reduced.
  • an anchor handling vessel comprising a hull with a bottom, a deck, a perimetral hull side, a well which opens out at the bottom, at the deck and at the perimetral hull side, and a system for handling an anchor with a handling line through the well.
  • the vessel is provided with a, preferably relatively large, well with a system for lifting an anchor in the well such that the anchor can be lifted relatively close to the center of gravity of the vessel. Because of this the moment of the vessel due to the weight of the anchor is diminished, and consequently the chance of immersion is reduced with such a relatively light (less than 500 tons) vessel. Not only is the immersion of the deck avoided, but it is also ensured that the vessel's screw remains immersed.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein the anchor handling system comprises an anchor handling gantry having a guide pulley for the handling line which is arranged above the well such that, in top view, the guide pulley is within a perimeter of the well.
  • the guide pulley and/or the handling line guided thereover is as close as possible to the center of gravity, such that during lifting the moment exercised on the vessel is minimal.
  • the guide pulley has a greater distance to the open end of the well than to the closed end of the well opposite to the open end.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein the anchor handling system comprises a winch for winding or unwinding the handling line.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein the well is enclosed between a double hull. Due to the fact that the well is confined by hull parts that are double-formed, the integrity of the vessel is also protected if the hull is damaged during anchor handling activities.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein the bottom adjoins the well through knuckled bilges, said knuckled bilges guiding the anchor into the well from below. Because at the bottom of the well knuckled bilges are provided, an anchor located under the vessel can be guided easier in the well from below due to, on the one hand, the wider opening at the bottom of the well and, on the other hand, the oblique sides of the bilges.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein the well is coverable with a removable working deck.
  • the well van be partially (in combination with the portal) or fully covered with a removable working deck.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein a dismountable bow roller is provided which bridges the free or outer end of the well. By removing the bow roller, the well is fully open on one side. Because of this cables and other objects can be brought into the cove without any hindrance.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein the tonnage of the vessel is less than 500 ton.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein the vessel is a workboat.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein a length of the vessel ranges from 30-40 m and a width of the vessel ranges from 10-20 m, preferably the length of the vessel is about 34 m and the width of the vessel is about 15 m.
  • An embodiment relates to a preceding vessel, wherein a length of the well ranges from 10-20 m and a width of the well ranges from 3-8 m, preferably the length of the well is about 12,5 m and the width of the well is about 5,5 m.
  • the invention relates to an assembly comprising a vessel as described above and an anchor with handling line connected to the anchor handling system.
  • the disclosure relates to a method (outside of the invention) for operating the anchor handling vessel as described above, comprising the steps of:
