Benefits of technology

[0027]According to yet another aspect of the present invention the surface of the hawser pipe has a coating for either decreasing the friction or protection against corrosion or both of these. This could for instance be applied using hot spraying the hawser pipe with thermal spraying and zinc / aluminium powder or cold and hot spraying of polymeric solutions.

Problems solved by technology

If a boat is tied with a short and / or stiff hawser while offshore mooring, it cannot move when in large waves and could be swamped or it could result in excessive loads in the mooring hawsers.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]FIG. 1 shows an inventive mooring system 1 for mooring a floating object 2 to another object 3. In the shown embodiment the mooring system comprises the first and the second object 2, 3 and four hawsers 4 which are attached to a first and the second object 2, 3 with their first and second end 13, 14 respectively. In the shown embodiment the floating object 2 is a platform equipped with the fairleads in the form hawser pipes 6. The hawsers 4 run through of hawser pipes 6, thereby creating a joint about which the hawser can bend when the first and the second object 2, 3 moves relative each other. The hawser 4 comprises two rope segments 10, 10′ which are made of an elastic material such as a nylon or polyester rope. The two rope segments 10, 10′ are separated by a chafing chain 9. The chafing chain 9 is more durable concerning the friction against the hawser pipe 6 than the rope segments 10, 10′. The hawser 4 has its second end 14 attached to the second object 3 and the first en...

Abstract

A mooring system comprising a first and a second object, wherein at least said first object is floating, and wherein said mooring system further comprises a hawser with a first end adapted to be attached to said first object, and a second end adapted to be attached to said second object, wherein the hawser comprises at least two rope segments with an intermediate chafing member arranged between the at least two rope segments, wherein the intermediate chafing member runs via a fairlead and said fairlead is adapted to be arranged adjacent a side of said first object facing the second object and said first end being attached to an attachment point of said first object, which attachment point being distanced to said fairlead.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a U.S. National Stage patent application of PCT / SE2014 / 050446, filed on Apr. 11, 2014, which claims priority to Swedish Patent Application No. 1350466-7, filed on Apr. 12, 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a mooring system for mooring a floating object to another object, the mooring system comprising a hawser and the hawser comprising two rope segments.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Hawser is a nautical term for a thick cable or rope used in mooring or towing. Mooring refers to any means of attaching a vessel to an object such as a bollard, pier, quay, other floating object / vessel or a mooring. One of the most important factors in offshore mooring is using a hawser that is long enough to provide sufficient elastic to allow the vessel to move due to movements in waves. If a boat is tied with a short and / or stiff hawser w...
