Introduction
EMAS-AMC has performed the
installation of pipelines in the
South China Sea using Lewek
Centurion, a deepwater S-lay
vessel, at water depths ranging
from 1100 to 1400m.
DP2 S-lay
Pipe Storage Capacity: 6500mT
Adjustable Double Section Stinger
(Radius 70m~300m)

Crane Load Loss
Crane Wire Tension (Max)
220mT (static) 250mT(dynamic)
@Hs=1.5m; Tp=10s
Oops
Safety Concern
What if crane wire load is lost
accidentally?
Any excessive acceleration or
unexpected large ship motion?
Stability is sensitive as location of center
of gravity of the ship is relatively high
with pipe loads.

Current Code Requirement
For crane vessels, accidental load drop should be
considered.
DNV, ABS, BV
e < 15deg from upright.
A2/A1>1.4 (DNV, BV) or 1.3 (ABS)
Static
In favorable weather condition
IMO
Static intact stability standards based on the properties of the righting lever (GZ)
curve have served the shipping industry well for decades, but it has been recognized
that incidents do occur to ships meeting the standards and that there may be
hydrodynamic related mechanisms that can lead to stability failure
2nd generation dynamic stability
Excessive acceleration

Sensitivity Study
Hs=1.5m
T=10s
T refers to the time difference between the max wire tension and PLET
loss .
Heel after PLET loss: 3.4deg to Starboard.
Max angle acc. to IMO weather criterion:
22.9 + 9.1 = 32 < 48.7 (Down flooding angle)
