Importance Of Oceanographic Equipment And Launch & Recovery System

Understanding the physical properties of seawater, including temperature and salinity, and depth is necessary parameters for studying ocean processes. Fortunately, oceanographers have an oceanographic instrument that does exactly that, it's called CTD. CTD is an acronym for a sensor that measures conductivity (which can be used to determine salinity), temperature and depth. The instrument can be integrated with various observation platforms including gliders, vertical profile floats, fixed observation buoys, moored gondolas, and vertical profile rosettes.

Hydrographic equipment, such as instruments for measuring the conductivity, temperature and pressure of seawater at different depths, also known as CDT devices, require careful handling.

This type of CTD And Oceanographic Winches can be used normally for Fisheries and Oceans because it is driven by a hydraulic motor so that its the configuration is more compact than that of an electric drive winch of the same capacity. And the hydraulic unit is normally centrally designed, which means you share it with other bridge machines, such as a windlass, a capstan or even a crane.

Companies also, provide bespoke systems tailored to the specific needs of customers. All delivered systems have the technical support of a team of engineers with full access to a comprehensive database of technical and construction information, electronically stored and maintained since the company's inception. Technical support services include on-site commissioning, maintenance, and repairs performed by experienced and qualified maintenance engineers. This is complemented by a comprehensive program of spare parts and a large stock of major and minor components. All CTD And Oceanographic Winches are supplied with the ROV umbilical termination plug and the hydraulic unit for operating the system can also be provided if needed.

Payload processing in high seas is a difficult and potentially dangerous operation. Specialized knowledge of the design, manufacture, and operation of launch and recovery systems is essential for the purchase of a new launch and recovery system (LARS). A launch and recovery system (LARS) is normally used to place a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) at sea in the water and install it safely on the seabed. After its exploitation on the seabed, the ROV is recovered by the Launch And Recovery System; put it on board again safely.

The LARS controls are simple hydraulic levers and the winch is electric. The canola-based hydraulic fluid was used to minimize contamination or environmental impact in the event of a leak. The available options are a banana pulley system, a hydraulic damping system on the pulley and a dynamic heave compensation system. The dynamic heave compensation system should allow us to operate beyond most ships commonly used in the offshore market and by sea states of 5 or 6.

LARS is designed to support the largest ROVs of the working class at depths greater than 4,000 meters, deployed laterally or through the lunar pool. Our systems are designed, built and certified with special attention to the gentle handling of umbilical and third-party equipment. Given the loss of time and cost that you suffer from damaged cable, it is important for us to provide systems that help our customers extend the lifespan of the umbilical and minimize downtime. The remotely controlled pallet skate system allows safe handling of ROV equipment on the deck.
