OLDENZAAL, the Netherlands – KENC Engineering has introduced two automatic boat landing systems (ABLS).
The ABLS provides a safe transfer between a crew transfer vessel (CTV) and other large vessels and is now available in two configurations.
Eric Buining, managing director at KENC said: “The main advantage of KENC’s ABLS is that there is no crane handling needed to deploy and retrieve the boat landing system. This results in more uptime and less risk.”
The ABLS is a compact design that comes fully automated with an easy-to-operate control system and is equipped with hydraulic drives.
“The H-Type is a proven system with low storage height and suited for larger vessels, where the V-Type has an incredibly small footprint with simple and straight forward vessel interfaces,” said manager engineering Cor Hilbrink.
The base configuration of both ABLS systems are certified and compatible with all common crew transfer vessels. It can be upgraded with features such as an integration with board systems, luggage lifting system, flood lights etc., the company said.
Last year, the company designed, fabricated, and delivered a 13-m (43-ft) boat landing system for Van Oord’s subsea rock installation vessel Bravenes.
