Intermittent useOur hydrodynamic system is recommended for intermittent use applications Key features of this system include com-pact design constant torque output in reeling and unree-ling mode standard motor and low maintenance Normal torque outputs are 10-700 daNm with speeds ranging from 10 to 60 mmin

Continuous useFor continuous use applications we recommend our T-series gearboxes These can be used with several drive sy-stems and fitted with different drums such as monospiral random lay parallel lay and a Pull amp Store configuration

Other applicationsWe recommend our Torque Motor units for small reels and slow speed applications (5-40 daNm and 0-60 mmin) while our Cavotec Reel Control (CRC) is best suited for larger reels (torque output 40-750 daNm)

The most unique feature of the Cavotec hydrodynamic system is that the clutch acts directly on the main drum shaft This gives an even torque output in reeling and unreeling modes independently of clutch slip or reeling speed thus assuring long cable life

Due to its unique design our hydrodynamic system is a simple solution for many cable and hose reel applications The system is based on a gearbox in which a reduction gear clutch and brake are built as one unit It provides a constant torque output allowing an even recovery of any type of cable

Our hydrodynamic cable reel is driven by a standard squirrel cage motor but can also be supplied with a hydraulic or pneumatic motor Another major advantage is that the torque can easily be readjusted on site This way the force of the cable can be reduced or increased according to requirements

Torquespeed diagram for hydrodynamic unit

The Cavotec torque motor for cable reels provides a virtually constant torque in reeling and unreeling mode The resulting mechanical cable tension is similar to a hydrodynamic system This has been obtained by using a torque motor with a very flat torqueslip curve The motors are used up to maximum of plusmn 400 rpm and within this range the torque fluctuation is approximatley

10 Besides the motor characteristics the gearbox efficiency also influences the traction at which the cable is submitted The T-series gearboxes are designed with this in mind They incorporate a single shaft planetary gear which makes them highly reversible The torque motors are equipped with an electromagnetic brake and are servo-ventilated

8 Motorised Cable Reels

The Cavotec cable reel incorporating CRC drive is the result of a cooperation between drive manufacturers and Cavotec The CRC system achieves precise speed and torque control of standard maintenance-free squirrel cage motors A slipping device between motor and gearbox is not needed

The Cavotec CRC driven cable reel enables an almost constant pull on the cable In fact by following the

torque reference signal computed on the basis of reeling variables ndash such as cable weight reeled cable on the drum acceleration or deceleration of the crane position on the track ndash the CRC minimises the pulling force on the cable

Cavotec has also chosen to use oversized not force ventilated motors for reliability and for simplicity in system layout The result is a longer cable life and increased reliability of the cable reel system

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Panzerbelt guarantees that the cable inside the channel is entirely protected from vehicles crossing the track and from objects falling into the cable duct The system has several major advantages over other more conventional cable protection systems

bull Complete operational safetybull Low installation costbull Full cable protectionbull Maintenance freebull No load restrictionsbull Channel free from spillagebull Operates in any climatebull No crane speed limitationsbull No alignment problemsbull Easily adaptable to existing systems

The most significant feature of the Panzerbelt system is the belt itself Defined and perfected after decades of testing and practical experience it is able to perform apparently conflicting duties it has a high transversal rigidity necessary to support all vehicle types while simultaneously possessing sufficient longitudinal flexibility to allow the belt to be lifted into a near vertical position

Thanks to its high quality design and manufacture the belt resists mechanical ambient and abrasive wear extremely well requiring virtually no maintenance

The Panzerbelt channel is made of stainless steel sheet and serves primarily as a framework for the creation of a duct in the quay It is shaped to provide a recess for the belt thereby ensuring protection of its edges It is also provided with an additional profile allowing the belt to be firmly fixed to the concrete quay

Belt sections are supplied with galvanised steel joints already fixed at one end The rivets used to connect the joints to the belt sections are the same as those used to fix the belt to the channel

Panzerbelt can be supplied with several optional items includingbullStainlesssteelturnoveranchors(singleordouble)bullJunctionboxesbullFixedPanzerbeltopeningdevicesbullBeltliftingdevicesbullEasyliftaccesscovers(springloaded)

Thanks to the characteristics of the flexible rubber cover the belt-lifting device has a simple and light construction The device is made of stainless steel with rollers in nylon charged with molybdenum and is easily adaptable to existing cable guides or pick-up systems

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Power Connectors

Customers have the option of ordering our power connectors and plug amp sockets pre-fitted in standard units including circuit breakers Cavotec also produces a comprehensive range of multi-pin outlets for control cables manufactured for an upper limit of 50 pins and 40Amps The range of connectors can be divided into two different operating systems Push amp Pull and Screw Ring types

Cavotec power connectors make use of a special technique using lamellar technology with multi-contacts (Multi-Way Technology)

The lamellar system MWT greatly improves the contact between the male pin and female contact When the MWT becomes warm it expands thus increasing the contact pressure between the surfaces This additional contact pressure allows for an exceptional current-carrying capacity relative to the size of the contacts and makes connecting and disconnecting the plug and socket easier

FLT - Spring Driven Cable Reels

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The most unique feature of the Cavotec hydrodynamic system is that the clutch acts directly on the main drum shaft This gives an even torque output in reeling and unreeling modes independently of clutch slip or reeling speed thus assuring long cable life

Due to its unique design our hydrodynamic system is a simple solution for many cable and hose reel applications The system is based on a gearbox in which a reduction gear clutch and brake are built as one unit It provides a constant torque output allowing an even recovery of any type of cable

Our hydrodynamic cable reel is driven by a standard squirrel cage motor but can also be supplied with a hydraulic or pneumatic motor Another major advantage is that the torque can easily be readjusted on site This way the force of the cable can be reduced or increased according to requirements

Torquespeed diagram for hydrodynamic unit

The Cavotec torque motor for cable reels provides a virtually constant torque in reeling and unreeling mode The resulting mechanical cable tension is similar to a hydrodynamic system This has been obtained by using a torque motor with a very flat torqueslip curve The motors are used up to maximum of plusmn 400 rpm and within this range the torque fluctuation is approximatley

10 Besides the motor characteristics the gearbox efficiency also influences the traction at which the cable is submitted The T-series gearboxes are designed with this in mind They incorporate a single shaft planetary gear which makes them highly reversible The torque motors are equipped with an electromagnetic brake and are servo-ventilated

8 Motorised Cable Reels

The Cavotec cable reel incorporating CRC drive is the result of a cooperation between drive manufacturers and Cavotec The CRC system achieves precise speed and torque control of standard maintenance-free squirrel cage motors A slipping device between motor and gearbox is not needed

The Cavotec CRC driven cable reel enables an almost constant pull on the cable In fact by following the

torque reference signal computed on the basis of reeling variables ndash such as cable weight reeled cable on the drum acceleration or deceleration of the crane position on the track ndash the CRC minimises the pulling force on the cable

Cavotec has also chosen to use oversized not force ventilated motors for reliability and for simplicity in system layout The result is a longer cable life and increased reliability of the cable reel system

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Panzerbelt guarantees that the cable inside the channel is entirely protected from vehicles crossing the track and from objects falling into the cable duct The system has several major advantages over other more conventional cable protection systems

bull Complete operational safetybull Low installation costbull Full cable protectionbull Maintenance freebull No load restrictionsbull Channel free from spillagebull Operates in any climatebull No crane speed limitationsbull No alignment problemsbull Easily adaptable to existing systems

The most significant feature of the Panzerbelt system is the belt itself Defined and perfected after decades of testing and practical experience it is able to perform apparently conflicting duties it has a high transversal rigidity necessary to support all vehicle types while simultaneously possessing sufficient longitudinal flexibility to allow the belt to be lifted into a near vertical position

Thanks to its high quality design and manufacture the belt resists mechanical ambient and abrasive wear extremely well requiring virtually no maintenance

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

solutions for Container shiPs (shiP integratedsolution 66kv)

21

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

solution forContainer shiPs(seMi fix Container 66kv or 66kv440v)

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

shore Pit

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The most unique feature of the Cavotec hydrodynamic system is that the clutch acts directly on the main drum shaft This gives an even torque output in reeling and unreeling modes independently of clutch slip or reeling speed thus assuring long cable life

Due to its unique design our hydrodynamic system is a simple solution for many cable and hose reel applications The system is based on a gearbox in which a reduction gear clutch and brake are built as one unit It provides a constant torque output allowing an even recovery of any type of cable

Our hydrodynamic cable reel is driven by a standard squirrel cage motor but can also be supplied with a hydraulic or pneumatic motor Another major advantage is that the torque can easily be readjusted on site This way the force of the cable can be reduced or increased according to requirements

Torquespeed diagram for hydrodynamic unit

The Cavotec torque motor for cable reels provides a virtually constant torque in reeling and unreeling mode The resulting mechanical cable tension is similar to a hydrodynamic system This has been obtained by using a torque motor with a very flat torqueslip curve The motors are used up to maximum of plusmn 400 rpm and within this range the torque fluctuation is approximatley

10 Besides the motor characteristics the gearbox efficiency also influences the traction at which the cable is submitted The T-series gearboxes are designed with this in mind They incorporate a single shaft planetary gear which makes them highly reversible The torque motors are equipped with an electromagnetic brake and are servo-ventilated

8 Motorised Cable Reels

The Cavotec cable reel incorporating CRC drive is the result of a cooperation between drive manufacturers and Cavotec The CRC system achieves precise speed and torque control of standard maintenance-free squirrel cage motors A slipping device between motor and gearbox is not needed

The Cavotec CRC driven cable reel enables an almost constant pull on the cable In fact by following the

torque reference signal computed on the basis of reeling variables ndash such as cable weight reeled cable on the drum acceleration or deceleration of the crane position on the track ndash the CRC minimises the pulling force on the cable

Cavotec has also chosen to use oversized not force ventilated motors for reliability and for simplicity in system layout The result is a longer cable life and increased reliability of the cable reel system

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Panzerbelt guarantees that the cable inside the channel is entirely protected from vehicles crossing the track and from objects falling into the cable duct The system has several major advantages over other more conventional cable protection systems

bull Complete operational safetybull Low installation costbull Full cable protectionbull Maintenance freebull No load restrictionsbull Channel free from spillagebull Operates in any climatebull No crane speed limitationsbull No alignment problemsbull Easily adaptable to existing systems

The most significant feature of the Panzerbelt system is the belt itself Defined and perfected after decades of testing and practical experience it is able to perform apparently conflicting duties it has a high transversal rigidity necessary to support all vehicle types while simultaneously possessing sufficient longitudinal flexibility to allow the belt to be lifted into a near vertical position

Thanks to its high quality design and manufacture the belt resists mechanical ambient and abrasive wear extremely well requiring virtually no maintenance

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Due to its unique design our hydrodynamic system is a simple solution for many cable and hose reel applications The system is based on a gearbox in which a reduction gear clutch and brake are built as one unit It provides a constant torque output allowing an even recovery of any type of cable

Our hydrodynamic cable reel is driven by a standard squirrel cage motor but can also be supplied with a hydraulic or pneumatic motor Another major advantage is that the torque can easily be readjusted on site This way the force of the cable can be reduced or increased according to requirements

Torquespeed diagram for hydrodynamic unit

The Cavotec torque motor for cable reels provides a virtually constant torque in reeling and unreeling mode The resulting mechanical cable tension is similar to a hydrodynamic system This has been obtained by using a torque motor with a very flat torqueslip curve The motors are used up to maximum of plusmn 400 rpm and within this range the torque fluctuation is approximatley

10 Besides the motor characteristics the gearbox efficiency also influences the traction at which the cable is submitted The T-series gearboxes are designed with this in mind They incorporate a single shaft planetary gear which makes them highly reversible The torque motors are equipped with an electromagnetic brake and are servo-ventilated

8 Motorised Cable Reels

The Cavotec cable reel incorporating CRC drive is the result of a cooperation between drive manufacturers and Cavotec The CRC system achieves precise speed and torque control of standard maintenance-free squirrel cage motors A slipping device between motor and gearbox is not needed

The Cavotec CRC driven cable reel enables an almost constant pull on the cable In fact by following the

torque reference signal computed on the basis of reeling variables ndash such as cable weight reeled cable on the drum acceleration or deceleration of the crane position on the track ndash the CRC minimises the pulling force on the cable

Cavotec has also chosen to use oversized not force ventilated motors for reliability and for simplicity in system layout The result is a longer cable life and increased reliability of the cable reel system

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Panzerbelt guarantees that the cable inside the channel is entirely protected from vehicles crossing the track and from objects falling into the cable duct The system has several major advantages over other more conventional cable protection systems

bull Complete operational safetybull Low installation costbull Full cable protectionbull Maintenance freebull No load restrictionsbull Channel free from spillagebull Operates in any climatebull No crane speed limitationsbull No alignment problemsbull Easily adaptable to existing systems

The most significant feature of the Panzerbelt system is the belt itself Defined and perfected after decades of testing and practical experience it is able to perform apparently conflicting duties it has a high transversal rigidity necessary to support all vehicle types while simultaneously possessing sufficient longitudinal flexibility to allow the belt to be lifted into a near vertical position

Thanks to its high quality design and manufacture the belt resists mechanical ambient and abrasive wear extremely well requiring virtually no maintenance

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The most unique feature of the Cavotec hydrodynamic system is that the clutch acts directly on the main drum shaft This gives an even torque output in reeling and unreeling modes independently of clutch slip or reeling speed thus assuring long cable life

Due to its unique design our hydrodynamic system is a simple solution for many cable and hose reel applications The system is based on a gearbox in which a reduction gear clutch and brake are built as one unit It provides a constant torque output allowing an even recovery of any type of cable

Our hydrodynamic cable reel is driven by a standard squirrel cage motor but can also be supplied with a hydraulic or pneumatic motor Another major advantage is that the torque can easily be readjusted on site This way the force of the cable can be reduced or increased according to requirements

Torquespeed diagram for hydrodynamic unit

The Cavotec torque motor for cable reels provides a virtually constant torque in reeling and unreeling mode The resulting mechanical cable tension is similar to a hydrodynamic system This has been obtained by using a torque motor with a very flat torqueslip curve The motors are used up to maximum of plusmn 400 rpm and within this range the torque fluctuation is approximatley

10 Besides the motor characteristics the gearbox efficiency also influences the traction at which the cable is submitted The T-series gearboxes are designed with this in mind They incorporate a single shaft planetary gear which makes them highly reversible The torque motors are equipped with an electromagnetic brake and are servo-ventilated

8 Motorised Cable Reels

The Cavotec cable reel incorporating CRC drive is the result of a cooperation between drive manufacturers and Cavotec The CRC system achieves precise speed and torque control of standard maintenance-free squirrel cage motors A slipping device between motor and gearbox is not needed

The Cavotec CRC driven cable reel enables an almost constant pull on the cable In fact by following the

torque reference signal computed on the basis of reeling variables ndash such as cable weight reeled cable on the drum acceleration or deceleration of the crane position on the track ndash the CRC minimises the pulling force on the cable

Cavotec has also chosen to use oversized not force ventilated motors for reliability and for simplicity in system layout The result is a longer cable life and increased reliability of the cable reel system

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The most unique feature of the Cavotec hydrodynamic system is that the clutch acts directly on the main drum shaft This gives an even torque output in reeling and unreeling modes independently of clutch slip or reeling speed thus assuring long cable life

Due to its unique design our hydrodynamic system is a simple solution for many cable and hose reel applications The system is based on a gearbox in which a reduction gear clutch and brake are built as one unit It provides a constant torque output allowing an even recovery of any type of cable

Our hydrodynamic cable reel is driven by a standard squirrel cage motor but can also be supplied with a hydraulic or pneumatic motor Another major advantage is that the torque can easily be readjusted on site This way the force of the cable can be reduced or increased according to requirements

Torquespeed diagram for hydrodynamic unit

The Cavotec torque motor for cable reels provides a virtually constant torque in reeling and unreeling mode The resulting mechanical cable tension is similar to a hydrodynamic system This has been obtained by using a torque motor with a very flat torqueslip curve The motors are used up to maximum of plusmn 400 rpm and within this range the torque fluctuation is approximatley

10 Besides the motor characteristics the gearbox efficiency also influences the traction at which the cable is submitted The T-series gearboxes are designed with this in mind They incorporate a single shaft planetary gear which makes them highly reversible The torque motors are equipped with an electromagnetic brake and are servo-ventilated

8 Motorised Cable Reels

The Cavotec cable reel incorporating CRC drive is the result of a cooperation between drive manufacturers and Cavotec The CRC system achieves precise speed and torque control of standard maintenance-free squirrel cage motors A slipping device between motor and gearbox is not needed

The Cavotec CRC driven cable reel enables an almost constant pull on the cable In fact by following the

torque reference signal computed on the basis of reeling variables ndash such as cable weight reeled cable on the drum acceleration or deceleration of the crane position on the track ndash the CRC minimises the pulling force on the cable

Cavotec has also chosen to use oversized not force ventilated motors for reliability and for simplicity in system layout The result is a longer cable life and increased reliability of the cable reel system

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Panzerbelt guarantees that the cable inside the channel is entirely protected from vehicles crossing the track and from objects falling into the cable duct The system has several major advantages over other more conventional cable protection systems

bull Complete operational safetybull Low installation costbull Full cable protectionbull Maintenance freebull No load restrictionsbull Channel free from spillagebull Operates in any climatebull No crane speed limitationsbull No alignment problemsbull Easily adaptable to existing systems

The most significant feature of the Panzerbelt system is the belt itself Defined and perfected after decades of testing and practical experience it is able to perform apparently conflicting duties it has a high transversal rigidity necessary to support all vehicle types while simultaneously possessing sufficient longitudinal flexibility to allow the belt to be lifted into a near vertical position

Thanks to its high quality design and manufacture the belt resists mechanical ambient and abrasive wear extremely well requiring virtually no maintenance

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

FLT - Spring Driven Cable Reels

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Torquespeed diagram for hydrodynamic unit

The Cavotec torque motor for cable reels provides a virtually constant torque in reeling and unreeling mode The resulting mechanical cable tension is similar to a hydrodynamic system This has been obtained by using a torque motor with a very flat torqueslip curve The motors are used up to maximum of plusmn 400 rpm and within this range the torque fluctuation is approximatley

10 Besides the motor characteristics the gearbox efficiency also influences the traction at which the cable is submitted The T-series gearboxes are designed with this in mind They incorporate a single shaft planetary gear which makes them highly reversible The torque motors are equipped with an electromagnetic brake and are servo-ventilated

8 Motorised Cable Reels

The Cavotec cable reel incorporating CRC drive is the result of a cooperation between drive manufacturers and Cavotec The CRC system achieves precise speed and torque control of standard maintenance-free squirrel cage motors A slipping device between motor and gearbox is not needed

The Cavotec CRC driven cable reel enables an almost constant pull on the cable In fact by following the

torque reference signal computed on the basis of reeling variables ndash such as cable weight reeled cable on the drum acceleration or deceleration of the crane position on the track ndash the CRC minimises the pulling force on the cable

Cavotec has also chosen to use oversized not force ventilated motors for reliability and for simplicity in system layout The result is a longer cable life and increased reliability of the cable reel system

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The Cavotec torque motor for cable reels provides a virtually constant torque in reeling and unreeling mode The resulting mechanical cable tension is similar to a hydrodynamic system This has been obtained by using a torque motor with a very flat torqueslip curve The motors are used up to maximum of plusmn 400 rpm and within this range the torque fluctuation is approximatley

10 Besides the motor characteristics the gearbox efficiency also influences the traction at which the cable is submitted The T-series gearboxes are designed with this in mind They incorporate a single shaft planetary gear which makes them highly reversible The torque motors are equipped with an electromagnetic brake and are servo-ventilated

8 Motorised Cable Reels

The Cavotec cable reel incorporating CRC drive is the result of a cooperation between drive manufacturers and Cavotec The CRC system achieves precise speed and torque control of standard maintenance-free squirrel cage motors A slipping device between motor and gearbox is not needed

The Cavotec CRC driven cable reel enables an almost constant pull on the cable In fact by following the

torque reference signal computed on the basis of reeling variables ndash such as cable weight reeled cable on the drum acceleration or deceleration of the crane position on the track ndash the CRC minimises the pulling force on the cable

Cavotec has also chosen to use oversized not force ventilated motors for reliability and for simplicity in system layout The result is a longer cable life and increased reliability of the cable reel system

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Panzerbelt guarantees that the cable inside the channel is entirely protected from vehicles crossing the track and from objects falling into the cable duct The system has several major advantages over other more conventional cable protection systems

bull Complete operational safetybull Low installation costbull Full cable protectionbull Maintenance freebull No load restrictionsbull Channel free from spillagebull Operates in any climatebull No crane speed limitationsbull No alignment problemsbull Easily adaptable to existing systems

The most significant feature of the Panzerbelt system is the belt itself Defined and perfected after decades of testing and practical experience it is able to perform apparently conflicting duties it has a high transversal rigidity necessary to support all vehicle types while simultaneously possessing sufficient longitudinal flexibility to allow the belt to be lifted into a near vertical position

Thanks to its high quality design and manufacture the belt resists mechanical ambient and abrasive wear extremely well requiring virtually no maintenance

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The Cavotec cable reel incorporating CRC drive is the result of a cooperation between drive manufacturers and Cavotec The CRC system achieves precise speed and torque control of standard maintenance-free squirrel cage motors A slipping device between motor and gearbox is not needed

The Cavotec CRC driven cable reel enables an almost constant pull on the cable In fact by following the

torque reference signal computed on the basis of reeling variables ndash such as cable weight reeled cable on the drum acceleration or deceleration of the crane position on the track ndash the CRC minimises the pulling force on the cable

Cavotec has also chosen to use oversized not force ventilated motors for reliability and for simplicity in system layout The result is a longer cable life and increased reliability of the cable reel system

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Standstill slipring applications often require a high degree of de-rating of the existing capacity of conventional carbon brush gear Increasing the physical size of the brushes is not always a solution since the actual contact area does not increase proportionally

Cavotec has overcome this problem by developing a multi-contact brush gear which has effectively substantially increased the capacity This is achieved by the separation of the brush into many independent sections ensuring a larger effective contact area

10 Motorised Cable Reels

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

solutions for Container shiPs (shiP integratedsolution 66kv)

21

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

solution forContainer shiPs(seMi fix Container 66kv or 66kv440v)

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

shore Pit

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Optical signals are increasingly used in ports and terminals where both composite and fibre-optic bundles are common

To meet these demands Cavotec has developed a fibre-optic rotary accumulator Thanks to its innovative design this unit can also be used as a stand-alone rotary accumulator if the reel is equipped only with fibre-optic cable The housing is made of stainless steel and includes anti-condensation heating elements and rotary limit switches The signal transmission is uninterrupted and with a fibre length of about 15 m in the rotary connector fibre dimming can be disregarded

A dimming of less than 3 dB must be taken into account for the rotary accumulator (including any bilateral connections) The connection is made on either side via plug connectors in the fixed and rotating terminal boxes

Cavotec has developed a range of cable guides designed to ensure smooth cable guideance during crane operation Engineered to the highest standards these guides improve the operational life of cables and ensure safe continuous operations

The Panzerbelt channel is made of stainless steel sheet and serves primarily as a framework for the creation of a duct in the quay It is shaped to provide a recess for the belt thereby ensuring protection of its edges It is also provided with an additional profile allowing the belt to be firmly fixed to the concrete quay

Belt sections are supplied with galvanised steel joints already fixed at one end The rivets used to connect the joints to the belt sections are the same as those used to fix the belt to the channel

Panzerbelt can be supplied with several optional items includingbullStainlesssteelturnoveranchors(singleordouble)bullJunctionboxesbullFixedPanzerbeltopeningdevicesbullBeltliftingdevicesbullEasyliftaccesscovers(springloaded)

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Power Connectors

Customers have the option of ordering our power connectors and plug amp sockets pre-fitted in standard units including circuit breakers Cavotec also produces a comprehensive range of multi-pin outlets for control cables manufactured for an upper limit of 50 pins and 40Amps The range of connectors can be divided into two different operating systems Push amp Pull and Screw Ring types

Cavotec power connectors make use of a special technique using lamellar technology with multi-contacts (Multi-Way Technology)

The lamellar system MWT greatly improves the contact between the male pin and female contact When the MWT becomes warm it expands thus increasing the contact pressure between the surfaces This additional contact pressure allows for an exceptional current-carrying capacity relative to the size of the contacts and makes connecting and disconnecting the plug and socket easier

FLT - Spring Driven Cable Reels

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The Panzerbelt channel is made of stainless steel sheet and serves primarily as a framework for the creation of a duct in the quay It is shaped to provide a recess for the belt thereby ensuring protection of its edges It is also provided with an additional profile allowing the belt to be firmly fixed to the concrete quay

Belt sections are supplied with galvanised steel joints already fixed at one end The rivets used to connect the joints to the belt sections are the same as those used to fix the belt to the channel

Panzerbelt can be supplied with several optional items includingbullStainlesssteelturnoveranchors(singleordouble)bullJunctionboxesbullFixedPanzerbeltopeningdevicesbullBeltliftingdevicesbullEasyliftaccesscovers(springloaded)

Thanks to the characteristics of the flexible rubber cover the belt-lifting device has a simple and light construction The device is made of stainless steel with rollers in nylon charged with molybdenum and is easily adaptable to existing cable guides or pick-up systems

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

21

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

solution forContainer shiPs(seMi fix Container 66kv or 66kv440v)

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

shore Pit

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

FLT - Spring Driven Cable Reels

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Container terminals have become a crucial link in todayrsquos global economy Often they are the main logistics hub for a large geographical region ensuring the smooth exchange of consumer goods commodities and industrial products Gains in efficiency and productivity from improvement of the ship to shore interface is potentially significant further down the logistics chain and can have a profound impact on the commercial success of terminal operators shipping lines and their customers

Container ships are becoming larger and in many ports the mooring time of these huge vessels with ropes can easily exceed 30 minutes With MoorMastertrade the vessels are moored in a matter of seconds allowing shore personnel faster access to the vessel to begin cargo operations

In surge affected ports MoorMastertrade holds ships steady providing a stable platform for faster crane and cargo movements

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Transport of RoRo cargo by sea plays an increasingly important role in reducing road congestion Good examples are the specialised pure car carriers (PCTC) which form an integral part of the logistics chain within global car manufacturing and passenger ferries which are mostly employed on short sea routes where reliability of schedule and quick crossing times are of vital importance

While many RoRo ships and ferries trade on fixed routes adaptability to different ports remains important to ship owners and terminal operators With increasing ship sizes the challenge is often to safely moor in adverse environmental conditions especially where pier space for ropes is restricted

MoorMastertrade reduces the amount of time vessels need to spend in port and enables terminals to operate in adverse environmental conditions that are incompatible with traditional rope mooring Retrofitting existing terminals with MoorMastertrade allows usage by vessel sizes beyond the original design envelope without the need for investment in expensive pier extensions or dolphin contructions that also may disturb restricted waterways in the port

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Power Connectors

Customers have the option of ordering our power connectors and plug amp sockets pre-fitted in standard units including circuit breakers Cavotec also produces a comprehensive range of multi-pin outlets for control cables manufactured for an upper limit of 50 pins and 40Amps The range of connectors can be divided into two different operating systems Push amp Pull and Screw Ring types

Cavotec power connectors make use of a special technique using lamellar technology with multi-contacts (Multi-Way Technology)

The lamellar system MWT greatly improves the contact between the male pin and female contact When the MWT becomes warm it expands thus increasing the contact pressure between the surfaces This additional contact pressure allows for an exceptional current-carrying capacity relative to the size of the contacts and makes connecting and disconnecting the plug and socket easier

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

Cavotec supplies two types of shore-to-ship power systems One incorporates a ship-based or shore-mounted cable management system with shore connection made via high voltage cables to a pit fit into the quay or to a shipsocketoutletJB Ourshore-sidepitsaredesignedtooccupy the minimum amount of space

The ship-based cable management system consists of electrical connectors (up to 12kV) flexible cables slipring optical fibre accumulator motor reducer cable drum electrical control panel and a retractable hydraulic cable guide

The second alternative is similar to the ship-based version although fits inside a standard container and stored on board ship either aft or forward of the accommodation block As the system is entirely modular the container can be moved according to vessel or loading requirements

Space constraints on vessels can preclude the installation of a fixed module Seeking to overcome this Cavotec has developed a shore-to-ship power system housed in either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers The cable management system and all electrical components

are also installed in the container(s) Operators therefore have the option of moving the containers according to loading and other requirements

solution forContainer shiPs(seMi fix Container 66kv or 66kv440v)

In order to supply power to each individual cable management system a shore pit must be installed on the quay This connection pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system

Cavotec shore pits consist of

bull One-Hand Lift Load-Rated Cover Assembly (with optional Fiberglass Pit Form and Cable Roller Guide) and concrete embedded frame

bull Stainless steel shore power junction box (IP66)bull Electrical sockets up to 12kV (fitted with safety features

such as pilots and interlocks)bull Optical fibre connectors

22 Alternative Maritime Power

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

solutions forCruise shiPs(66kv 11kv)

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Power Connectors

Customers have the option of ordering our power connectors and plug amp sockets pre-fitted in standard units including circuit breakers Cavotec also produces a comprehensive range of multi-pin outlets for control cables manufactured for an upper limit of 50 pins and 40Amps The range of connectors can be divided into two different operating systems Push amp Pull and Screw Ring types

Cavotec power connectors make use of a special technique using lamellar technology with multi-contacts (Multi-Way Technology)

The lamellar system MWT greatly improves the contact between the male pin and female contact When the MWT becomes warm it expands thus increasing the contact pressure between the surfaces This additional contact pressure allows for an exceptional current-carrying capacity relative to the size of the contacts and makes connecting and disconnecting the plug and socket easier

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

For cruise ships power cables are handled on shore The socket outlet receiving panel is normally installed in a dedicated room on the lower decks which can be accessed from the shore through a water tight hatch

Cavotec has developed a specific range of solutions for these types of applications AMP Mobile guarantees the highest operational flexibility along the berth accommodating a wide range of vessel types and shore connection points When not in use AMP Mobile can easily be moved from the quayside and parked elsewhere

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

Bringing more than 40 yearsrsquo experience of high-load rated one-hand lift covers Cavotec has designed the ldquoEasy Lift Cover Assemblyrdquo This robust cost-effective marine grade assembly enables operators to safely open the covers with a lift weight of only approx 15kg Furthermore the Easy Lift covers require a positive force to close so they can not accidentally slam close on an operator Cavotec Easy Lift Covers can be produced to meet specific size and load-bearing requirements

We also manufacture a fibreglass pit form for use in conjunction with the Easy Lift Cover Use of this pre-formed fibreglass enclosure can result in significant on site labour savings since time consuming forming of the concrete vault is no longer required and internal components such as the stainless steel junction box can be factory installed prior to shipment

Since 1988 Cavotec has also engineered numerous state of the art shore based cable management systems for Ro-Ro vessels and ferries that tend to use dedicated berths and dock in the same positions

In these cases the degree of flexibility required from cable management systems is not as great allowing the equipment to be integrated into the berth

Cavotec has also developed similar systems for integration into dolphins specifically for tankers and LNG vessels

Power Connectors

Customers have the option of ordering our power connectors and plug amp sockets pre-fitted in standard units including circuit breakers Cavotec also produces a comprehensive range of multi-pin outlets for control cables manufactured for an upper limit of 50 pins and 40Amps The range of connectors can be divided into two different operating systems Push amp Pull and Screw Ring types

Cavotec power connectors make use of a special technique using lamellar technology with multi-contacts (Multi-Way Technology)

The lamellar system MWT greatly improves the contact between the male pin and female contact When the MWT becomes warm it expands thus increasing the contact pressure between the surfaces This additional contact pressure allows for an exceptional current-carrying capacity relative to the size of the contacts and makes connecting and disconnecting the plug and socket easier

FLT - Spring Driven Cable Reels

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

FLT - Spring Driven Cable Reels

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

Power Connectors

Customers have the option of ordering our power connectors and plug amp sockets pre-fitted in standard units including circuit breakers Cavotec also produces a comprehensive range of multi-pin outlets for control cables manufactured for an upper limit of 50 pins and 40Amps The range of connectors can be divided into two different operating systems Push amp Pull and Screw Ring types

Cavotec power connectors make use of a special technique using lamellar technology with multi-contacts (Multi-Way Technology)

The lamellar system MWT greatly improves the contact between the male pin and female contact When the MWT becomes warm it expands thus increasing the contact pressure between the surfaces This additional contact pressure allows for an exceptional current-carrying capacity relative to the size of the contacts and makes connecting and disconnecting the plug and socket easier

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

FLT - Spring Driven Cable Reels

Spring driven cable reels are subject to the standards set out in VDE 0100 and the most recent edition of UVV in Europe countries Our warranty follows the general industry delivery conditions for products and servicesCavotecrsquos spring driven electric cable reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and comply with the latest EU requirements (CE marking)Our cable range includes a wide variety of flexible cables for reeling applications that withstand the highest mechanical stresses and harshest ambient conditions

Standard protection for drums and slipring bodies is IP66 with the drums being hot-dip galvanised and the slip ring assemblies housing made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide

overview

The drum should be installed in such a way to ensure that the cable is reeled and unreeled to and from the drum freely Forced guidance and too small bending radii on sheaves and roller guides should be avoided The design of the reel allows the feeding point of the cable to be placed on either side of the drum

In order to make the correct reel selection it is necessary to know the nature of the application It is important to take in consideration the heating of the cable due to the number of layers on the drum Lower temperatures may require a higher spring force due to the higher rigidity of the cable

Operating conditionsParticular care should be taken regarding operating conditions especially in extreme environments The following factors are of primary importance

bull extreme temperaturesbull substantial temperature variationbull humidity levelsbull vibrationbull emission

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

The correct choise of cable is vital to maximise performance and service life

Bending radius Precise calculation of the bending radius is a determiningfactor for cable reliability A decrease in minimum bendingradius has a major effect on the life of a cable becauseit causes stretching and internal distortions Anotherimportant factor is the frequency of the cable movementsIf movement is slow and infrequent a tighter bending radiuscan be considered Special attention should also be paid toinstallations where flexing and torsion is present

Tensile strengthThe maximum admissible tensile force is stated by the cable manufacturer

Greater forces will result in permanent elongationof the conductors which would shorten the life of thecable considerably

Operating speed and accelerationAll cables are normally designed manufactured and tested for the operating speeds and accelerations commonly in use today

Please note that high acceleration in combination with high operating speeds should be taken into account when calculating the tensile stress in the cable

Intermediate sheavesIf possible reduce the number intermediate pulleys andkeep changes of direction to a minimum Should the route of the cable require more than one change of direction the distance between two sheaves or rollers must be selected according to the manufacturer specifications

Cable anchoringThe anchoring systems must be designed to distribute the tensile stress over a wide area of the outer cable sheath This prevents localised faults or damage According to the cable handling system typology different methods may be used

Current carrying capacityFor the calculation of the current carrying capacity the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullMaxAmbienttemperaturebullTypologyofthecablehandlingsystembullTypeofduty

Voltage dropFor the calculation of the voltage drop the main factors to be taken in consideration arebullLengthofcablebullOperatingfrequencybullOperatingvoltage

To guarantee a long service life and a suitable service of thecable the manufacturer instruction about storing handlingand installation must be followed strictly Cable installationmust be carried out by expert personnel which shall ensureduring this operation that undesired twist and torsion areremoved in order to avoid negative effect when in service
