The Oilfield Seamanship Series: Volume 5 | Barge Moving
Year: 2011 Language: English Author: Michael Hancox Genre: Textbook Publisher: Oilfield Publications ISBN: 978-1-870945-71-4 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages + text layer Pages count: 361 Description: In the context of this book barge moving deals with the preparations, organisation and procedures used during the movement of semi-submersible vessels and flat barges from one location to another. In the sections dealing with semi-submersible vessels the types envisaged are principally drilling and accommodation support vessels. This is because these vessels spend long periods of time stationary, anchored in position and then undertake a passage whose duration may be a few hours or many days. The transition from stationary operations to transit operations requires the crews to make quite radical changes to behaviour and routine patterns as well as putting into operation procedures and plans which differ considerably from their normal stationary life. The majority of operations covered are those where some tug assistance is utilised although this may be supplemented by the vessels own propulsion systems. In the majority of cases the semi-submersible will be manned and its Master will direct and oversee the activities of the tug or tugs involved. In this role they (the tugs) follow the courses and navigate as directed by the tow and are to some extent acting in the role of harbour tugs towing a vessel under the direction of a pilot. The command structure of semi-submersible vessels often follows a somewhat unusual pattern. In North Europe and the USA semi-submersible drilling units (especially those with propulsion systems) are usually under the command of a Master who holds a formal qualification and it is this individual who directs the operation (moving and mooring). He may be assisted by a Towmaster or Rig mover who may be an employee of the vessel’s owner or charterer.
