User Data Package. Shore-to-Ship Electrical Power Cable Handling Equipment.
Abstract
When Navy ships are in port, current policy encourages Cold Iron procedures (secure engineering plants) to conserve fuel and reduce ship's systems maintenance and repair. In order to go Cold Iron ships must be provided electrical power by the shore facility's Public Works activity. The Public Works waterfront utilities support function is responsible for providing, storing, transporting, maintaining, and repairing the shore power cables used to provide electrical power to berthed Navy ships. Also, Public Works is responsible for all cable connections on the pier between the ship and shore electrical power source. Ships' personnel are responsible for rigging or unrigging cables between the pier and the ship and all cable connections aboard ship. A User Data Package (UDP) was developed to provide information for transition of an R&D product into the NAVFAC acquisition system. The UDP addresses information to support system acquisition of ship-to-shore handling equipment developed and field tested by NCEL. The cable handling equipment demonstrated significant benefits to the Navy by reducing the time, manpower, and cable replacement costs associated with current Public Works cable handling operations to provide shore electrical power to berthed Navy vessels. Originator-supplied keywords include: User data package, Cable handling, Shore power cable, Flow charting, Logistics support, Instruction manuals.
