Abstract
Provided is a method for moving an object between a platform of a wind turbine and a deck of a vessel, wherein the platform is located at a tower of the wind turbine, wherein the object is moved vertically by a hoist coupled between the object and at least one fixation site of the wind turbine located above the platform and the deck, wherein the object is deflected radially from the tower by a puller coupled between the object and the vessel.
Claims18
A frame structure for coupling to a pulling means or a puller, wherein the pulling means or the puller is coupled to an object for moving the object between a platform of a wind turbine and a deck of a vessel, the frame structure comprising:
- a frame element coupled to the pulling means or the puller, wherein the frame element comprises an A-shaped or a H-shaped or a trapezoidal cross section;
- and
- a fixation arrangement connected to the frame element, wherein the fixation arrangement is mounted to or mountable to a bottom side or a topside of at least one freight container located on the deck of the vessel such that the fixation arrangement and the at least one freight container remains stationary with the deck of the vessel as the object is moved;
- wherein the frame structure comprises at least one pulley arrangement and/or at least one winch.
A frame structure for coupling to a pulling means or a puller, wherein the pulling means or the puller is configured to be coupled to an object for moving the object between a platform of a wind turbine and a deck of a vessel, the frame structure comprising:
- a frame element coupled to the pulling means or the puller, wherein the frame element comprises an A-shaped or a H-shaped or a trapezoidal cross section;
- and
- a fixation arrangement connected to the frame element, wherein the fixation arrangement is mounted to or mountable to the vessel such that the fixation arrangement remains stationary with respect to the vessel as the object is moved;
- wherein the frame structure comprises at least one pulley arrangement and/or at least one winch.
A frame structure comprising:
- a frame element, wherein the frame element comprises an A-shaped or a H-shaped or a trapezoidal cross section;
- and
- a fixation arrangement connected to the frame element, wherein the fixation arrangement is fixed to a vessel floating on a sea, or mounted to a freight container fixed to a deck of the vessel;
- wherein the frame structure comprises at least one pulley arrangement and/or at least one winch.
