Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device for transferring personnel and materials at sea, in particular to a light-weight, large-span, wave-compensated marine transfer device. Background Art

[0002] Offshore transfer systems (OTS) can be installed on most offshore vessels, with low load requirements. They are primarily used for the transfer of personnel and simple material between ships and fixed platforms such as wind turbines, oil and gas platforms, between ships, and between ships and floating platforms. They also provide for personnel rescue in low sea conditions and offshore firefighting. Due to the harsh marine environment, offshore transfer systems are susceptible to the effects of wind and waves during operation. To ensure the safety and comfort of personnel and materials during offshore transfers, offshore transfer systems require wave compensation. Currently, wave compensation technologies for offshore transfer systems can be broadly categorized into two types: passive and active. Passive wave compensation technology is relatively mature, but its compensation accuracy cannot meet the requirements of offshore transfer systems. Active wave compensation technology can meet the speed and accuracy requirements of offshore transfer systems. However, active wave compensation technology is more challenging, and the research on the motion principles and prototype development of active wave compensation offshore transfer systems is still in the process of developing the prototype.
