‘Fibre in bag’ solution
The solution was developed in partnership with Det Norske and was announced at the Anchor Handling Seminar in Stavanger. The Anchor Handling Seminar is an annual event for the mooring industry with more than 250 participants and stretching over two full days.
Benefits to operators of the new ‘fibre in bag’ solution will as per viking Moorings include a simplification of pre-laid mooring operations with the ability to store the fibre rope and buoy underwater, efficient and flexible onboard handling and storage when required, no requirements for specialised tooling and external cranes, and the protection of seafloor infrastructure and flora, with no grappling. In addition, there will be no need to protect buoys at the surface.
