Source Handling And Storage System Seismic

The Kongsberg Maritime AS Source Handling And Storage System Seismic is specialized deck machinery for deploying, recovering and storing marine seismic source equipment. The source spread can include air-gun or other approved acoustic-source arrays, umbilicals, handling lines and associated frames that must be moved safely between deck and towing position. The system may combine source winches, booms or handling frames, storage racks, fairleads, hydraulic/electric drives and remote controls in a project-specific arrangement. It is installed on a seismic vessel's aft working deck and is designed for repetitive operations while protecting sensitive source components and minimizing manual handling. Its operational risks include suspended loads, stored line energy, pressurized source equipment and moving machinery, so interlocks and defined operating zones are important. The exact source configuration, line loads and sequence must be taken from the vessel-specific Kongsberg documentation; refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
