Anchor handling requires special equipment and skills, not only in performance of the anchor handling operations, but also in preparing the projects. In this three day AHTS & Rig Moves course from 17-19 May 2016 delegates will study and learn all they need to know about this specialist field. The location is Amsterdam, The Netherlands. IIMS members and non members are welcome to apply.
The course gives an overview of the necessary skills, technology and requirements. Hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, hydrography, naval architecture, nautical engineering and safety engineering are the sciences that play an important role in Anchor Handling operations and design of the AHT’s, the procedures and connections.
The course will give a practical knowledge of the technologies especially pertaining to Anchor Handling:
• Technical basis of Ocean towing and Anchor Handling
• Safety of towing during tow out, ocean transit, positioning and installation engineering
• Warranty, safety and contingency planning
