To increase the window for offshore helicopter landings in severe weather condition, Bayards Aluminium Constructions and Barge Master have designed the first aluminium Motion Compensated Helideck.
Bayards’ and Barge Master’s new Motion Compensated Helideck (MCH) is driven by three actuators compensating two translations (sway and heave) and one rotation (roll) of the vessel it is installed on. This ensures that the platform stays in an earth fixed steady position and that the influence of sea induced vessel motions will no longer be a limiting factor for offshore operations.
