ANCHOR HANDLING (OPL VOLUME 3)

This book will benefit Masters, officers and other personnel operating anchor handling vessels. It describes the most common work boat operations, which differ to those of the barge or vessel being worked.

A number of specialist mooring operations are also described, again from the boat’s viewpoint.

Design characteristics and weaknesses in offshore oilfield anchor handling and towing vessels that can lead to damage or even capsizing are examined. The author shares over 30 years
of operational experience, detailing how some operations, especially those in deep water, pose particular threats.

Preventative actions are outlined, examples of events that AHT Masters could face are detailed, and check lists given.
