The basic idea of the umbilical system for offshore applications

Different types of anchor winches

Subsea umbilical

The subsea umbilical is used as the vital supplier and the control management that links the top side vessel with the equipment beneath the sea. At first umbilical offshore could go as much as 2km deep into the sea, but with the advancement of technology, it can go up to 3km and hopefully it will go much deeper in the future. The length of the umbilical varies upon the function and the field layout, where some have been manufactured to travel up to 200km.

You can find several types of umbilical and the requirements can change according to certain situations. An umbilical cable consists of several electrical and fiber optics cables that are arranged systematically.

 

Primary functions

 

• Chemical injection to ensure that the flow is alright
• Sending electrical signals
• Valve controlling and monitoring
• Hydraulic pressure for keeping number accurate at the hydraulic pressure
• Sending electricity underneath for pumping
• Fiber optics for data monitoring

An umbilical can either be designed for the static or dynamic services wherein both conditions, high tension load is felt during the installation. During the static installation, the tubes are laid or trenched into the seabed, but in the dynamic installation, the tube floats with the vessel.

 

Electrical winch

 

Also known as anchor windless, the electrical anchor winch helps you to raise and lower the ship’s or boat’s anchor using the electricity or a remote. Today this is the most cost-effective method to deck your boat smoothly without any risks.

 

Advantages of anchor windless

 

• It is designed to handle a considerable amount of weight
• This device will enable you to pull a heavyweight anchor with minimum effort
• Takes a little time to raise the anchor above
• Different designs are available to meet different requirements
• You won’t have to much space as the windless can be installed on the deck or the space below the deck
• Now remote-controlled windless is also available that will allow you to operate the anchor from any part of the boat or ship

 

Some additional features

 

• Limit switch
• Manual band brake
• Manual clutch
• Remote controller
• Load calculator
• Manual emergency crank
• Warping head
• Spooling gear

 

Uses

 

Whenever you sail out in the seal for fishing or cruising, you will need an anchor to secure the boat to make sure it doesn’t move away. Electrical winch or windless will enable you to anchor your ship or retract it without making too much effort. When your boat or ship needs to be secured, the windless lower the anchor freely and quickly to make sure you don’t drift away. When you are ready to move, you can raise the anchor easily by just pressing the button on the remote control or the boat. A windless can become very helpful if the weather is not right or it is too windy.
