Motion compensation systems
To increase the operational safety and reduce the downtime of offshore and near shore operations, we have designed several motion compensation systems. The structural designs of TWD’s motion compensated solutions are executed in close cooperation with Barge Master and the client. Based on the project specific functional requirements, the most suitable and practical solution for a particular application can be designed.
The Barge Master T-700 is a multi-purpose platform compensating vessel motions up to a significant wave height of 2.5 meters and is designed such that it can handle a payload of 700 t. The platform is designed such that it can be fully containerized for transport and assembled within 10 working days.
For maintenance and platform supply applications, TWD completed the structural design (from concept to detail) of the Barge Master T-40 motion compensated crane pedestal. With a small footprint and a capacity of 15 t at 10 m, this system increases the workability of offshore supply vessels significantly.

Barge Master T700 drill rigg platform for Wikinger OWF
March 10, 2017Several pre-piles of the Wikinger jacket foundations need to be drilled before further pile driving can continue. To perform these secure drilling works, Boskalis requested Barge Master to deploy their T700 motion compensation platform. TWD designed seafastening structures for the Barge Master platform, crane, boom rest, outrigger frame, secondary containers and we re-designed the Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) seafastening construction to enable easy repair and maintenance.

Functionality of BM-T40 motion compensation crane
The Barge Master BM-T40 system reached completion this week with the installation of the crane atop the motion compensation system. The operation took no more than a day, lifting the crane into place to be fastened to the Barge Master system on the Wagenborg W2W vessel in the Nester and Sander shipyard in Delfzijl.
