Splash zone crossing and reduction in seabed landing velocity during installation of PLEM modules in the South China Sea.

A Cranemaster® passive heave compensator with SWL of 150 metric tons and 4,5 meter stroke.

Due to the large horizontal area of the PLEM modules, significant improvements in the operational weather window was obtained by use of  the Cranemaster® unit. The operation was carried out by a large marine contractor. Cranemaster was used for both splash zone crossing and reduction in seabed landing velocity.
