<p>The present invention concerns a ship (1) which is adapted to generate tensile stresses in a pull line extending between a ship and an object to which a pull is to be applied. The ship, which comprises at least one line pull winch (7, 8), comprises equipment in the form of a holding line (5) and a holding line anchorage (6) which is laid out in the desired tensioning direction from the object with a view to generating said tensile stresses. At its stern, the ship (1) moreover comprises at least one line entry opening (11, 12) and force-absorbing line supports (16, 17) for the pull and holding lines. At least one of the supports (16, 17) is adapted to guide the line concerned in a direction toward the line pull winch (7, 8). The force-absorbing line supports (16, 17) are interconnected via a tension-absorbing constructional element (18). The resulting ship is surprisingly capable of generating very high pull forces in a pull line extending in an arbitrary direction from an object to which a pull is to be applied. Further, a versatile ship (1) is obtained. The invention also concerns a method of applying a pull from a ship of the invention to a pull line, and a use of a ship of the invention for testing the tensile strength of anchorages, for applying a pull to grounded ships and for applying a pull to vessels during towing.</p> |
