LA UNCHING
NG AND LOAD
LOA D OUT SYSTEM
SYSTEM

7.1 GENERAL

The barge shall be equipped with two skid beams and two rocker beams. The
rocker beams shall be hinged at the stern. The position of the tracks and beams
shall be adjustable to any position between 8 and 14 m from CL of the barge.

Skidding will be performed by four (4) skid units, placed on separate skid rails
along both sides of the skid beam. The skid rails and main skid beam are
integrated into 10m single sections that can easily be handled for (re)-positioning
(re)-positioning
on deck. Each skid unit typically consists of 2 hydraulic cylinders, 1 gripper unit for
clamping onto the skid rail, and an interconnecting push/pull yoke.

The Launch and Load Out system shall include the following:
• One (1) skidding mechanism, comprising four (4) skid units and one (1) HPU
• Two (2) skid beams built up in sections with integrated skid rails on both sides
• Two (2) rocker arms with integrated hinge shaft
• Two (2) hinge gutters, integrated in the barge’s stern structure
• Four (4) locking devices, welded onto the hinge gutters locking the hinge shaft
to the barge.
• Two (2) rocker buffers, welded onto the barge’s stern

The skidding mechanism shall be capable of functioning as an autonomous

(stand-alone) system.

7.2 SKIDDING MECHANISM

Reference is made to 0240 SMC 03 002 Launch – Skidding Mechanism –

Specification.

The diesel-hydraulic skidding mechanism shall comprise:

• Four (4) hydraulic skidding units
• One (1) diesel-hydraulic power pack
• Four (4) sets of hydraulic hoses, connecting the skidding units to the power
pack

The hydraulic skidding units shall run over separate skid rails on both sides of the
skid beams.

7.2.
7.2.1
1 Skiddi ng uni ts
The barge is equipped with 4 skidding units of 950 ton (9,500 kN) push and pull
capacity each. Each unit typically consists of 2 large hydraulic cylinders, 1 gripper
unit for clamping onto the skid rail, and an interconnecting push/pull yoke. The
weight of the units will be approximately 17 t each. Approximate dimensions of
each unit are 6.0x1.8x0.75m Page 46
 The hydraulic cylinders are connected to the yoke at the rod ends and to the
gripper units at the bottom ends. The two cylinders in one skid unit are sized to –
together – deliver a 950 t force both in pushing and pulling mode.

The gripper unit consists of a number of hydraulic jacks, mounted vertically in a

frame which envelopes the top flange of the skid rail. By powering the jacks, the
unit will grip the flange tightly and thus the push/pull force can be transferred from
the jacket via the skid rail to the barge’s deck.

The yoke is a double swivel plate connected at the outer ends to the push/pull
cylinder rod ends and at the center equipped with a central pin of 250 mm outer
diameter. A clevis is designed accordingly. Weight of the swivel plate will be
approximately
approximately 1.8 t.

The swivel is equipped with bolted-on push plates for launch assistance, which
must be unbolted when a pull operation is to be performed.

The jacket needs to be equipped with push/pull supports to fit into this clevis or
onto the push plate. Such jacket supports will be designed depending on the
shape and size of the jacket and therefore be project-specific.

The swivel is also equipped with a gripper for locking onto the skid rail and
repositioning
repositioning the main gripper section. This auxiliary gripper is smaller since it
only has to clamp just enough to move the skid unit’s own weight.

The skid units shall be fully manually lever-operated from a control panel at the
diesel power pack. All units can be operated together or individually.
Synchronization of the units shall be manual/ visual, to keep the system as simple
and straight-forward as possible.

The skidding mechanism shall not be clamping right at the heaviest loaded parts
of the skid beam to avoid overloading the deck frames. For the design jacket this
implies that the grippers shall not clamp within the first 20 meters of the jacket and
in between 30 and 55 meters. (This applies only when pulling or pushing the

itself).

7.2.2 Diesel HPU

The skidding mechanism is capable of functioning as an autonomous system;
therefore it is provided with its own diesel-hydraulic power pack on deck.

The diesel power pack runs in between both skid tracks to serve all skid units. It is
mounted on rugged wheels and is driven by a hydro motor. It is possible to
disconnect the power pack from the skid unit.

The stability of the power pack can be maintained under the barge’s operating roll
angles. Under transit conditions it must be stowed.
Page 47
 The diesel engine power shall be rated at approximately 2x 500 kW. The power
pack overall dimensions are approx. 6.0x3.0x1.9m and weight is approximately
10 t. Built on fuel tank shall have a capacity 300 L. The HPU shall be functional at
maximum power for trim angles up to 12 deg.

The HPU contains the skidding control panel, at least incorporating pressure
gauges for the pressures of skid jacks, main grippers and swivel plate auxiliary
grippers.

Flexible hoses between the power pack and the skidding units are supplied of
sufficient length for on-barge operations; length shall be approximately 95m. Per
skid unit the following 6 hoses are typically supplied:
• 2 pcs 1½“ for the skid jacks
• 2 pcs ¾” for the main grippers
• 2 pcs ½” for the auxiliary grippers in the swivel plate

The hose connections shall be of the Quick-Release type.

7.3 SKID TRACKS

g.

The skid tracks shall be executed as steel boxes with a U-shaped cross-section,
opened at the bottom. They will have a typical height of 2.0 m, a width of 1.9 m at
the top plate and a 2.5 m wide base. The skid beam structure is open at the
bottom to allow for easy manufacturing and for weight reduction.

Each skid track has two integrated but separate skid rails to accommodate the
hydraulic skid units.

The skid track shall run from the rocker beams at the stern towards the bow and
its total length will be 190 m. The top plates of main skid beam and skid rail must
be flat with a tolerance of 5 mm relative to the bottom surface. The skid system
supplier may specify additional skid rail tolerances. The skid track does not cover
the remaining 4 m of length at the barge’s bow end. This area will normally not be
needed for the support of the jacket.

To be able to transport protruded jackets the most forward section of the skid
beam on both PS and SB side shall be strengthened in order to increase the
allowable load and transfer the concentrated jacket loads into the designated
strengthened area of the barge. These special skid track sections shall weigh
approximately
approximately 70 t.

Page 48
Each skid track is divided into longitudinal sections, each 9.97 m in length, in
order to be able to easily move or remove the skid track sections from the Barge.
In order to take up any barge deformations (hogging and sagging) a 30 mm play
between adjacent sections is designed. Each section weighs approximately 57 t
and is equipped with 4 hoist lugs for hoisting from a single hook in a 4-rope
arrangement.

For the design of the skid track it is assumed that the jacket will be equipped with
a hard-wooden lining and/or other means of spreading the load to the design load
level as in Section 4.7.

The overall width of the skid track, together with the integrated skid rail structures
and hoist lugs, will be approximately 5,800mm. The total of all skid beam sections
on the barge will weigh approximately 2,170 t. The skid beams shall be
manufactured out of steel D36 or equivalent.

The skid tracks can be moved laterally over (part of) the width of the barge in
order to be able to accommodate various widths of jackets. After moving the skid
track sections, the assembled skid track must be checked for the correct
horizontal alignment
alignment and shimmed for the correct vertical alignment at the position
of the large web frames. A nominal shim height of 40 mm is taken into the design.
After ensuring

In case adjacent beam sections are in different loading conditions, the vertical
alignment is ascertained by welding key plates onto the side plates of adjacent
beams. In longitudinal direction these plates allow for 30 mm of barge
deformation. Also the top plates are chamfered at the ends of the beam sections.

A PTFE sliding
sliding track
track shall
shall be placed
placed at the top of the skid beam over its full
length. Quality and details of the slide pads are, as well as the mating material at
the jacket, very important to ensure the lowest possible friction coefficient and
wear. For the mating material at the jacket hard wooden lining is assumed to
result in the lowest possible friction. The PTFE pads shall typically be factory-
bonded to steel carrier plates that must be tack welded to the skid beam’s top
plate. Steel guiding strips shall be installed on both sides of the PTFE track, to
ensure the lateral guiding of the jacket’s skid shoes or lining.

Construction
Construction Plan.

The two (2) rocker arms shall be located at the stern of the launch barge. The
hinge shaft center shall be positioned 1,350 mm from APP. The rocker arms can
be laterally moved to follow the skid track width.

The rocker arms and hinge are designed to take up the forces as derived from the
launch analysis. Refer to Section 4.7 for design loads.

The rocker arm shall be executed as a closed box section of 41.135 m total length
and approx. 3.9 m. wide at its mid-section. The beam shall be reinforced at the
mid-section where the hinge shaft will be integrated.

The rocker arm shall have tapered ends in the vertical plane; at the mid-section
the maximum height shall be approximately 6.4 m, while at the forward end the
height shall be approximately 2.0 m. so that it aligns with the skid beams.

Each rocker arm will weigh approximately 590 t, including the integrated hinge
shaft. The rocker arm is entirely made from steel D36 and E36. Thick plates are
inserted where necessary. Maximum used steel grade shall not exceed E36.

Since the rocker arms must be adjustable in lateral position, the hinge part at the
barge is executed as a half-round gutter section integrated into the barge’s stern
structure.

7.5 ROCKER LOCK ING DEVICES

Reference is made to 0240 DMC 02 005 Launch – Locking Mechanism

Construction
Construction Plan – Structural Drawing.

Each rocker arm shall be laterally secured by locking devices (or retainers) on
both sides. They are designed to take up any lateral and uplift forces which might
occur during launching and buffering of the rocker arm.

The locking devices must be welded in position onto the barge’s stern after proper
alignment of the rocker with the skid track. The locking devices shall be
constructed entirely of steel D36.

The hinge gutter on the barge is executed as a steel welded section in E36 or
equivalent steel integrated into the Barge structure.

The hinge structure has approximate dimensions of 13.5x2.8x3.8m and a weight

of approximately 94 t each.

To lubricate the hinge points the following grease shall be used:

7.7 ROCKER BUFFERING

Reference is made to 0240 DMC 02 004 Launch – Buffer for Rocker Beam –
Basic Construction Plan.

The rocker beams are buffered in their fully rotated positions, 85 deg rotated from
their initial position.

When the jacket is launched, the rockers rotate under the influence of the jacket’s
dynamic reaction forces. The rocker is slowed down before hitting the rocker
buffer by the displacement of the surrounding water.

The steel buffer structure shall be designed for being welded in place onto the
barge’s stern. The buffer structure shall be covered with a wooden lining and
fenders/tires to dampen the impact. The structure has frames matching the
horizontal stiffening in the barge stern in order to transfer the buffer forces
correctly into the barge.

The buffers shall be able to be laterally positioned in any arbitrary position in a

vertical line below the rocker arms.
