ROV Handling Document

1. The document discusses hazards associated with handling ROVs without a guide system, including risks of personnel injury, equipment damage, and loss of the ROV or rig downtime. 2. It considers three alternative guide systems to improve safety: a guide above the deck, through the moonpool, or a full cursor system through the splash zone. 3. A full cursor system provides the best protection against weather and allows operation in up to Sea State 6, but it cannot be installed offshore and has the highest estimated cost at $3-5 million.

ROV Handling

PAGE 1

OCEANEERING - ROV
Hazards:
1. Personnel handling load with swing (4-8 ton):
Risk of personnel injuries and equipment damage
2. Operating manual guide systems:
Risk of squeeze hand or fingers
3. Cage and ROV can hit vessel structure:
Loss of ROV \ Rig downtime
4. Side forces on A-frame \ sheave:
Loss of ROV \ Rig downtime
5. Snap load on ROV umbilical:
Loss of ROV \ Rig downtime

OCEANEERING - ROV
Alternativ solutions
Improvments:
- Remove swing.
- Remote controlled handling
- Avoid drift of and snap load in splash sone

ALTERNATIVES:
1- Guiding of Cage/ROV above moonpool
2- Guiding of Cage/ROV trough moonpool
3- Guiding av Cage/ROV trough splash-sone (full cursor)

OCEANEERING - ROV
Guide above deck
Advantage / disadvantages
+ Improve personnel safety
+ Simple instalation
+ Low cost

Do not solve entery of moonpool on recovery


-Low effect on swing in splash-sone
-Do not improve weather limitations

Estimat Alternative 1:
Prestudie of guide system obove deck
Production

: NOK 50-100 000,: NOK 0,5-1 millioner

OCEANEERING - ROV
Guide system trough moonpool

Advantage / disadvantage
+ Low cost
+ Improve personnel safety
+ Simple instalation
+ Guided entery of moonpool
+ Reduced swing due to shorter pendel length

-Require work inside or under moonpool


-Modification of hatches
-Limited improvement of weather limitations
Estimat Alternative 1:
Prestudie of guide system trough moon pool :
Production :

NOK 50-100 000,NOK 1-2 millioner

Estimat Alternativ 2:
Forstudie av guide system gjennom moonpool:
Anttt prisleie p guide system gjennom moonpool:

NOK 50-100 000,NOK 1-2 millioner
