| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to an apparatus for transferring an object from or to a marine transport vessel to or from a construction or vessel. The apparatus comprises a motive force generator; a motive force applicator operably linked to the motive force generator; and, in use of the apparatus, adapted to be operably linked to an object to which the motive force applicator applies a motive force; a fastening device for operably linking the motive force applicator to the object; a control mechanism; said control mechanism being formed and arranged so as to control the motive force generator and is operable to switch the operation of the motive force generator into an ascent or descent mode wherein the motive force generator acts upon the motive force applicator; and a measuring device operably linked to the control mechanism, said measuring device comprising one or more sensors and adapted to determine a distance between said measuring device and at least one point of a surface of a marine transport vessel from or to which said object is to be transferred wherein said apparatus further comprises one or more safety protocols and a parameter sensing means, said control mechanism being in communication with said parameter sensing means and responsive to feedback from said parameter sensing means, and adapted to initiate said one or more safety protocols. |
