Benefits of Passive Heave Compensation
Passive heave compensation can be utilized in all scenarios where there are relative heave motions between the crane hook and the foundation being lifted to or from. The load is kept in position regardless of vessel motion, and makes it possible to position loads accurately, even in rough weather. This maximizes the weather window, increases operational time and decreases damage to your equipment.
