15.30 Coffee Break
16.00 active Heave Compensation is becoming a standard for
Subsea Lifting Operations. In general there are three
different ways to achieve Active Heave Compensation
(AHC)
• AHC directly on the winch – hydraulic driven
• AHC directly on the winch – electric driven
• AHC via a hydraulic cylinder – combination of passive
and active heave compensation
