KENC Engineering has revealed two new automatic boat landing systems (ABLS) for the offshore energy industry. The ABLS provides a safe transfer between a CTV and large vessels and is now available in two configurations.
After the successful product launch of their first ‘ABLS’ last year for Van Oord, KENC Engineering now introduces two types of dedicated Automatic Boat Landing Systems, designed to arrange for safe transfers between Crew Transfer Vessels (CTV) and other, larger vessels and vice versa.
Eric Buining, Managing Director at KENC: “The main advantage of KENC’s ABLS is that there is no crane handling needed to deploy and retrieve the boat landing system. This results in more uptime and less risk.”
The ABLS is a robust and compact design that comes fully automated with an easy-to-operate control system and is equipped with hydraulic drives.
“The H-Type is a proven system with low storage height and suited for larger vessels, where the V-Type has an incredibly small footprint with simple and straight forward vessel interfaces”, says Manager Engineering Cor Hilbrink. The base configuration of both ABLS systems are certified and compatible with all common CTV’s. The ABLS can be upgraded with features such as an integration with board systems, luggage lifting system, flood lights etc.
