New to the maritime industry is an updated line of rotating Active Heave Compensators (AHC). These systems increase workable hours at sea and make it safer to work under heavy weather conditions at increasingly lower depths. They also ensure accurate implementation of work in such environments.
The AHC systems prevent unexpected and damaging reactions to the load. They are based on secondary technology for the control-led handling of loads between 22 and 110 tons. They compensate over 90% of ship movements.
The drive system consists of adjustable axial piston motors, the aggregate, batteries for energy storage, the Motion Reference Unit, and the necessary interfaces. The controls, with dedicated software, let the winch operator go through the different phases of the procedure fully controlled.
