Following significant Norwegian market growth, ACE Winches, will launch its latest technology - Reel Drive Systems (RDS) as it exhibits at ONS Stavanger this week. The RDS ranges from 150 Te to 500 Te and will deploy and recover subsea umbilicals, risers and flow lines (SURF), mooring wires and power cables for the global oil and gas sector.
The ACE Winches RDS is Programmable Logic Controlled (PLC) and can be automatically adjusted to accommodate multiple reel sizes up to a 12m diameter whilst eliminating the requirement for manual handling, optimising the conditions for safe operations.
Before the end of 2014, the firm will provide a 400 Te RDS for a client’s pre-lay mooring line installation in Nigeria.
