COLLAPSIBLE-EXPANDIBLE FAIRING AND WIND TURBINE INSTALLATION VESSEL HAVE THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A flexible fairing and a windfarm installation ship with the same are provided to stably descend legs to a seabed by reducing water current resistance applied to legs and to improve the utilization of a loading space. CONSTITUTION: A flexible fairing comprises streamlined shaped lower plates(170) and streamlined shaped flexible pipes(130). The streamlined shaped lower plates are coupled to the lower end of legs installed in a hull to be vertically lifted. The lower end of the streamlined shape flexible pipes is coupled to the edge part of the lower plates. The intermediate section of the flexible pipes covers the legs and the upper end thereof is coupled to the hull. The flexible pipes are extended if the legs descend from the hull, and are shorten if the legs ascend.
