1970 ANNUAL TECHNICAL SYMPOSIUM (7th). MECHANICAL SYSTEMS FOR OCEAN ENGINEERING,

Abstract

The paper discusses mechanical handling systems design considerations, performance requirements and problem areas associated with salvage and rescue operations including handling of submersible vehicles and other large objects at sea. Ship motion response to various sea conditions and the capabilities and limitations of present handling methods are evaluated. Emphasis is placed on the effect of dynamic loads imposed on the handling gear and methods of load attenuation and motion compensation. (Author)
