Loading Towers

Precise cable alignment - Laser Grid X positioning and LIDAR Y positioning sensors ensure accurate cable placement relative to carousel systems and deck equipment during loading operations

Enhanced operational flexibility - Interchangeable lower quadrants and pivoting goose-neck arms adapt to various cable types and vessel configurations without requiring complete system modifications

Seamless equipment integration - Direct compatibility with PASSER carousels, tensioners, and existing vessel deck spread equipment optimises workflow throughout installation campaigns

Real-time positioning control - Advanced sensor systems provide continuous feedback on cable orientation and positioning, enabling synchronisation between carousel RPM and line speed

Offshore-rated reliability - Vertical support structures built to offshore standards handle vessel motion and operational loads while maintaining positioning accuracy

Reduced manual handling - Automated positioning systems minimise crew exposure to operational hazards while ensuring consistent positioning performance

Robust Vertical Support Structure
Our loading towers feature engineered vertical support structures mounted securely to vessel deck with reinforced foundation systems. The robust design handles operational loads and vessel accelerations while maintaining the structural integrity required for precise cable positioning throughout installation operations.

Advanced Positioning Technology
Integrated Laser Grid systems measure cable position relative to the centre point of the goose-neck bell mouth, providing precise X positioning data for operational control. LIDAR sensors accurately detect cable orientation, enabling automatic synchronisation between carousel rotation speed and cable line speed during loading operations.

Flexible Configuration Options
Interchangeable lower quadrants allow rapid reconfiguration for different cable types and operational requirements without major structural modifications. Pivoting goose-neck arms provide operational flexibility while maintaining the positioning accuracy required for successful subsea installations.

Complete System Integration
Our loading towers integrate directly with upstream carousel systems and downstream deck equipment, including main deck tensioners. Integrated control systems coordinate equipment operation and provide real-time monitoring of cable position, orientation, and system performance throughout operations.

Advanced Sensor Integration - Laser Grid X positioning and LIDAR Y positioning sensors provide comprehensive cable positioning data, enabling automated control systems that reduce manual intervention during critical operations.

Customised Goose-Neck Design - Pivoting arm configurations tailored to specific cable handling requirements and vessel constraints ensure optimal positioning performance for your operational needs.

Vessel-Specific Mounting - Support structure engineering matches your vessel deck layout and load distribution requirements while providing the stability necessary for precise positioning control.

Complete Engineering Control - We handle everything from structural analysis and load calculations through fabrication at our certified Klaipeda facilities and installation support, ensuring your loading tower operates precisely when it reaches your vessel.

Proven Integration Experience - Recent installations include loading tower with 10Te spooling tensioner integrated with 2,000-tonne carousel for Global Marine Group at Port of Blyth, demonstrating capability on major offshore cable projects.

Premium Fabrication Standards - Pre-assembly and testing at our facilities with deep water port access ensures your loading tower functions correctly before offshore deployment, eliminating commissioning delays.

Installation Team Support - Our engineering teams follow equipment to site with the specialists who designed your system available during commissioning and startup operations.

Load Capacity Range - 5 to 15 tonnes standard configurations with custom engineering available for higher capacity requirements based on specific operational needs.

Positioning Accuracy - Laser Grid systems provide millimetre-level positioning accuracy for cable alignment relative to equipment centrelines and operational reference points.

Integration Compatibility - Direct compatibility with PASSER carousels and standard deck tensioner systems, plus integration capability with third-party equipment through custom interface engineering.

Control System Features - Real-time monitoring of cable position, orientation, tension, and system status with automated control options for reduced manual intervention during operations.

With decades of experience delivering loading towers for offshore cable installations, our engineering team understands the precision requirements and operational challenges of subsea cable positioning systems.
