Ibrecisa Showcases Electrically Driven Deck Equipment at ITS 2014

Ibercisa will showcase the advantages of electrically driven deck equipment at the International Tug, Salvage & OSV Convention which will take place in Hamburg, Germany, from 16th to 20th June, 2014.

As explained by Ibercisa, “the electronic system will greatly affect a vesselʼs efficiency and running costs with optimum savings on fuel.”

Ibercisa will also give special attention to equipment for the offshore & AHTS sector as well as TUGs, oceanic and port (harbour and escort) and dredging.

Ibercisa manufactures winches with capacities of up to 350 tons pull, combined and waterfall type winches, and 600 tons on the brake and has, in recent years, signed important Offshore and Anchor Handling

“At Ibercisa our products are custom designed and built in close collaboration with our clients, in terms of size, pull and configuration,” the company explains.

Heerema Marine Constructors said that an important and high technology delivery by the company is the deck machinery for Bylgia and Kolga AHT built at Astilleros Armon shipyard.

These vessels incorporate towing winches AHT type model MR-E/930/2/2500-89 and were designed around the dimensions of the winch, developed by Ibercisa to reach a final weight of 280 tons. The winches have two waterfall drums each with a capacity of 2,500m of 86,9mm wire. The electronic engines are of permanent magnet type with elevated par at low revolutions. Giving 350 tons per 10 metres/minute on the first layer with the same pull, speed increases to 50 metres/minute when offload is against the dynamic brake. The static brake capacity is 600 tons on each drum, divided between two differential band brakes.
