Case Study
REAL TIME MOORING LINE MONITORING WITH MOORASSURE
THE PROJECT The vessel is moored using nine mooring lines bundled in three sets of three lines around the turret chaintable. Pulse supplied a real time acoustic mooring line monitoring system MoorASSURETM to monitor tension in each of the mooring lines. SCOPE OF DELIVERY ? Nine acoustically linked inclinometers (INTEGRlpodTM-AF) attached to each chain hawse to measure inclination of the mooring line ? Three acoustic receivers mounted on the chaintable ? Specialised tension monitoring software used to convert measured angles from inclinometers into tension with line failure alarm capability ? System installation and offshore commissioning. THE RESULT ? Each inclinometer can communicate with each of the three acoustic receivers ensuring continuous connectivity regardless of t
