Problem

The latest generations of cable laying vessels is equipped with 2 or 3 cable carousels. Loading/unloading of a complete vessel takes months and is very costly. During loading of a cable laying vessel one or several of the factories turntables will be fully occpied with loading only and not storage of finished cable from the factory. The cable factory loose valuable production/storage time on the current turntables (during loading of vessel) and the cable laying vessel loose valuable cable laying time since loading time will take months

Solution

UDDCOMBS double/concentric turntable solution can handle, store and load multiple different cable carousels and cable qualities simultainously on a cable laying vessel or barge saving time, costs and increase efficiency of these valuable assets. Uddcomb double/concenctric cable carousel system can load 2 turntables on a cable laying vessel with 2 different cable qualities at the same time. A solution that offers a unique flexibility to load/unload and handle multiple cables qualities, with less storage footprint, with higher efficiency and to a lower total cable handling and storage cost

Outcome

The cable laying factory will be able to store more cable quantities on less storage footprint The cable factory be be able to increase safety during loading operation (less/no manning) on the cable stack due to the semi-automatic remote controlled lay-arm system. The cable factory will be able to store several different cable qualities in one fully integrated system The cable factory will be able to load 2 turntables/cable carosuels on a cable laying vessel simultainously from one concentric storage system - saving time and significant costs during load/unload and will increase the valuable "production" time on a valuable asset like a cable-laying vessel. The cable factory will be able to both load a cable laying vessel and store finished cable from the factory in one system, simultainously!
