Heave compensation equipment

Lightweight shock absorber

Polaris is our state-of-the-art shock absorber that is a true revolution for the wind installation industry. It has a much lower weight, much smaller footprint and much lower cost than any competitor.

  • DNV ST-0378
  • Max force 75-4000 t
  • Stroke 1.0-8.0 m
  • High efficiency (>90%)
  • Low weight
  • Small footprint
  • No external accumulators
  • Fast and easy setup
  • No oil filling
  • Topside design

Adaptive passive heave compensator

Antares is a modern adaptive passive heave compensation unit designed based on lessons learned from decades of experience with subsea heave compensation equipment. It has advanced functionality, low operating risk and relatively low cost.

  • DNV ST-0378
  • Max force 10-2500t
  • Stroke 2.5-8.0 m
  • Piston rod locking
  • Splash zone mode
  • Temperature compensation
  • Depth compensation
  • Buoyancy compensation

Active heave compensator

Vega is an inline active heave compensator that comes in topside and subsea versions. It is designed based on best practices to reduce complexity and risk.

  • DNV ST-0378
  • Max force 75-2500t
  • Stroke 2.5-6.0 m
  • Piston rod locking
  • Quick tension adjustment
  • Accurate AHC mode
  • Compatible with external MRU
  • No oil & gas filling
  • Subsea & topside design

Riser tensioner

Sirius is a simple and low cost backup riser tensioner that can provide compensation in case of a main compensator failure. In our normal fashion this is done at a low cost.

  • DNV OS-E101
  • Max force 350/500 t
  • Stroke 3.0-12.0 m
  • Adjustable damping
  • Piston rod locking
  • Stroke measurement
  • Force measurement
