Scottish back deck machinery firm Maritime Developments (MDL) has introduced a new 110-tonne, four-track pipelay tensioner to its MDL Offshore Service business.
MDL says it's the only system of its capacity readily available to take on projects worldwide. Previously MDL has delivered three 50-tonne systems, which are currently being used in southeast Asia and in the North Sea.
The TTS-4/310 has the same safety and operational features of MDL’s four-track tensioner range, including failsafe grip system, self-centering track system and a modular, roadtransportable design.
The 110-tonne system joings a 50-tonne, 4-track system, three reel drive systems (RDS) and an overboarding chute, as well as a range of deck radius controlling equipment, control and power units and ancillary products in the MDL Offshore Service business.
