Performance of Wet Handshake
For this special offshore operation a linear winch was installed on MV “Annette” to enable
the lowering and wet handshaking of a 330ts manifold below sea level.This operation called
for numerous modifications on the vessel that were developed by SAL’s offshore engineering
team.With the assistance of the specially installed winch the manifold was lowered 87m below
sea level and was taken over by an anchor handling tug for installation on the sea bed.
