Norway: TTS has introduced the Active Heave Compensation (AHC) on their winches. The product is developed by TTS Offshore Handling Equipment which develops winches for both anchor-handling and subsea winches with AHC.
By combining the best technology from each product, TTS has developed a winch they have identified as the "next generation" for AHTS vessels. The solution is as simple as it is advanced, in that it can fit on any TTS standard anchor-handling / towing winch. The system does not require unique vessel design and can be fitted on any AHT or AHTS vessel. It can also be retrofitted to existing vessels.
The system will enable vessels to operate in new working areas like subsea deployment, installation of large suction anchors and other operations that require AHC technology. The TTS winch can also operate regular anchor-handling and towing operations with improved safety, due to improvement of operation data in the winch system. Trenching work will also be greatly improved with the TTS winch.
