Af t Recover y Sys t em Assembly for Subsea7.

The unit consists of a chute, a removal device for buoyancy modules and a horizontal hang-off system and be utilised on multiple Subsea7 vessels operating in deepwater

The complete system is mountable in different locations on the stern of the vessels for flexibility and ease of use with lazy wave flexibles fitted with buoyancy modules It is engineered to be fixed to the deck by way of sea-fastening brackets with a quick release bolted connection

The system can recover a range of product diameters without overbending the flexible or crushing the buoyancy modules

The inboard angle of the chute arc extends over 90 degrees to facilitate buoyancy modules manoeuvring without using a crane and it is designed with a dedicated guide rail to suppor t the modules through recover y.

To allow for the suspension of the catenar y weight during recover y of a damaged lazy wave, the hang-off clamp is designed to be orientated in a horizontal position

MDL has previously provided solutions to Subsea7, through design, manufacture, rental and operation of a range of back-deck equipment, including bespoke deliveries of reel drive systems, tensioners, deck radius controllers and turntables to global locations
