Streamers Handling And Storage System Seismic

The Kongsberg Maritime AS Streamers Handling And Storage System Seismic is a dedicated system for deploying, towing, recovering and storing marine seismic streamers. Kongsberg describes such systems as combinations of streamer winches, spooling devices and tow points with fairlead blocks, with hydraulic or electric drive arrangements depending on the vessel. The equipment is installed on the working deck or aft seismic deck and handles long, sensitive instrumented streamer cables used during geophysical surveys. Automated and remote operation is used to reduce manual exposure and to maintain controlled tension and orderly spooling. The system differs from a conventional cargo winch because cable protection, low-damage handling, synchronized spooling and tow geometry are fundamental to survey reliability. The exact drum capacity, line pull, streamer type and automation sequence are project-specific; refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
