<p>There is shown a method and apparatus for transfer of loads from a vessel (13) that moves with heavy seas to a stationary or mobile installation (3) by the use of at least one lifting cable (4) or wire and at least one hoisting means (1), where the load (11) in its starting positions stands on a rack (12) on the vessel (13). The load transfer takes place at an instant when the load (11) has only insignificant kinetic energy, as at least one gripping means (14) is activated in controlled manner at said instant to lock the load (11) to the lifting cable (4). At the same instant the rack (12) collapses and immediately establishes a distance between the load (11) and the vessel (13), thereby suspending the load in the lifting cable (4).</p> |
