Mooring Innovation Puts Flexibility Front & Centre

Kongsberg Maritime has developed a mooring capable solution for offshore construction vessels that significantly enhances their operational scope.

A shortage of vessels capable of large-scale mooring installations has led Kongsberg Maritime to develop a new system that allows offshore construction vessels (OSCVs) to handle more tasks independently.

The new solution has many benefits and features, according to Runar Hjelle, Kongsberg Maritime’s Sales Director for Offshore Construction & Support. 

He says: “Our new mooring capable solution integrates a purpose-designed anchor handling winch, shark jaws and stern rollers into OSCVs at the newbuild stage, enabling vessel owners to equip their ships for a broader range of mooring operations. It means OSCVs can handle more tasks independently."

By incorporating these relatively simple components, vessels will be able to perform pre-lay of mooring lines as a natural extension of their original subsea and suction anchor capabilities.
