Containerized LARS
The Containerised Launch and Recovery System is based on a 20 Foot offshore container. Facing the water, the container opens with two doors to the Launch and Recovery System (LARS). The LARS consists of a telescoping boom, a launch winch, and a cable winch with a level wind. The telescoping boom can extend 6.1 meters from the container opening. A launch winch is used to lower the TMS cage into the water. Well in the water TMS cage will be lowered by the cable winch with the capacity to lower the TMS to 2500 meters depth. The ROV will be housed in its deployment garage/cage, the Tether Management System (TMS), until it reaches the desired working depth. From this point the ROV can exit the cage and manoeuvre freely up to 600m from the TMS cage.
The back of the container opens to the control room. The control room will be a climate-controlled workspace for three seated persons
The control room
The control room is an acoustically insulated and climate-controlled compartment which is accesses
through the back of the container. The room is large enough for three seated persons, a floor to roof
19” equipment rack, a desk and a wall with 6 to 9 video and computer monitors.
Swift mobilization
Nine minutes to water splash has been the design guideline
during development of the Ocean Modules Container.
Mobilization simply consists of lowering the Container in
place, bolting it to the deck and connecting power.
Telescoping beam extends beyond six meters
Once in place, a telescoping beam extends the cage beyond six meters from the container door, allowing it to clear the railing. Once lowered to the desired working depth, the ROV can operate up to 600 meters from the cage, providing massive range for underwater work, negating the need to relocate the vessel.
