Read on to find out more about how we assisted them.
6 Point Mooring System
Atlantic Marine & Aviation required a full 6 Point Mooring System for their vessel, the ‘Atlantic Carrier’. They decided to contract Atlas Winch & Hoist Services Ltd for the task, and we were happy to help.
A 6 Point Mooring system is used to moor vessels to the seabed using 6 different mooring lines. This helps to secure large vessels with ease and stop them from moving. The 6 winches work in tandem to secure the vessel and are capable of withstanding a lot of force, enabling vessel stability even in harsh conditions. These systems can be used in open water or in a harbour to keep barges, tankers or vessels in place.
The equipment we supplied included:
- 6 x 35Tonne Hydraulic Drum Winches
- 3 x Twin Pumped Diesel HPU
- 6 x 600m x 36mm diameter Wire Rope
- 4 x Horizontal Deck Sheaves
- 6 x Swivelhead Fairleads
- 6 x Running Line Monitors
- 1 x Central Bridge Control c/w CCTV
Finally, our engineers carried out a full function test of the system and attended a full sea trial to test the operation of the system. We worked with the company every step of the way to ensure the project was carried out efficiently, professionally and to their standards.
