Oceanographic
Automated handling systems for oceanographic vessels
With the use of our unique Rolls-Royce
technology for handling fibre rope, we
have eliminated water depth restrictions
for taking seabed samples. The unique
feature of our solution is that the power
required and the safety factor in
sampling are unaffected by water depth.
If we compare the use of fibre rope with
steel wire, the power requirement will
increase substantially and the safety
factor decline because of the wire’s own
weight. Since fibre rope is weightless in
water, the power requirement and
safety factor are depth- independent.
Fibre rope also lasts longer than steel
wire if handled correctly. This makes our
technology for handling fibre rope
unique and highly recognised in the
oceanography sector.

Automated handling systems for oceanographic vessels
Following the acquisition of ODIM, we now have the
capability to deliver complete automated handling systems
for well intervention in addition to our current range of ship
design and integrated systems solutions. Systems
comprising engines, propellers, thrusters, steering gear,
rudders, stabilisers, deck machinery and automation &
control systems.
ODIM has, during several years, produced
unique cable traction solutions that enable the
use of fiber rope as a substitute for steel wire
when working at great sea depths. Thus, the
fiber rope’s light weight is effectively utilised to
handle larger payloads.
Control systems, winches and over-board
systems are designed for the specific needs on
vessels used in oceanography and deep-sea
operations. Among the benefits are integrated
solutions that free the floor space and increase
safety for those working on deck as well as the
expensive underwater equipment.
Tailor-made solutions
We deliver complete and tailor-made solutions,
including our patented and field proven cable
traction control unit technology to the
Oceanographic market.
Benefits:
Our complete system
deliveries include fully
integrated control systems,
providing manoeuvring
monitoring and safety features.
One provider secures easy
interfacing for installation and
service.
