CORAL SEA MOORING SYSTEM UPGRADE FROM CHAIN TO WIRE
In 2006 Triton were contracted by IHC/MMP to design
the structural support modifications to the vessel to accommodate
a 52 tonne winch being installed in the Aft Stbd Chain Locker. The
chain mooring system was stripped out. The new wire system required
a sheave tower to allow suitable fleeting angles, deck bend sheave
and high capacity deck fairleader, all of which required significant
support.
In 2014 the process was repeated for the Aft Port
Mooring System. The winch support structure was analysed as was the
entire aft boat deck, as per some images included here.
The data package of 2D drawings were developed for
fabrication and Class approval, whilst the structural analysis performed
to verify the design and satisfy the controlling authorities.
