MOTS safety concept


Failure mode / safety in case of failure

System safetySystem safety

• Safety in case of power failure

• Safety in case of control failure

• Safety in case of component failure

• Safety in case of incorrect operation

• Safety in case of collision with turbine

• ...

Operational safetyOperational safety

• Safety on deck / work area

• Safety during operation /

transfer process

• Safety in case of unacceptable

environmental conditions

• Safety during sailing

Operational safety

Captain is responsible for the safety on

deck and MOTS operation !

� automatic locking of MOTS in case

unacceptable environment conditions

� captain gives “green light” for use of

MOTS

� easy to use, fully automatic

� clear and simple operational instructions

for the crew

� defined restricted area during operations

� visual and audible signal before

operation

� In basket Panic switch

� …


Health and safety risks

POWERFAILURE

• UPS for 5 minutes operation

CONTROL FAILURE

• Safety SPS

• redundant control system

COMPONENT FAILURE

• short operating time in relation to the calculated lifetime � extremely low risk

• preventive maintenance for the key components

INCORRECT OPERATION

• full automatic system, self controlled, redundant, permanent control of the environment conditions, warning signal in case of operation near to the limits

TURBINE COLLUSION

• permanent monitoring of the turbine distance

• strong basket, visual and audible warnings to the captain � remove vessel from turbine

???• safe in all situations!

10


Additional system safety

OPERAT.CONCEPT

• Three button operation, optically and acoustically warning, fail save

• Continues kinematic limit control, measurement of wave high

SIGNALS

• Permanent control of the environment conditions, safe edge

• Optically and acoustically warning signals in case of operation near to the limits, bar graph

PROVENTECHNOL.

• Use of proven robotic and control technology, fault rate <1%

PASSIVESAFETY

• Basket design, aligned space between basket and ladder

HUMANRESPONS.

• Captain has the control, removes vessel from turbine in case of problems

???• Safe in all situations!

Regulators position

GL / DNV / LR / BV … approval

• GL / DNV / LR / BV ,… have to evaluate the impacts

of MOTS regarding the stability of every vessel.

• MOTS is not a integral component of a vessel.

Therefore is no obligation of a GL / DNV / LR

certification of MOTS as a system.

Professional association approval

• MOTS is in the approval process by the German

professional association (old “SeeBG”). Approval of

the safety concept and features is pending.

• UK MCA will be contacted next to clarify the needs of

the UK market. Who is the authority in UK?


Service Concept

� Basic service

• Service on board

• 2 years warranty

� Full service / evolution packages available

• yearly system change

• yearly system update

• exchange unit in case of damage

• extended warranty up to 5 years

That’s why you should use MOTS !

� Safe transfer up to 3.2 metres vertical movement of the

vessel

� Material transfer and transfer of injured persons

� Can be used on any boat landing / wind power plant

without modification / adaptation

� Fully automatic transfer concept

� Comprehensive safety concept

� Low-maintenance, no maintenance work at sea,

low maintenance costs, full service package available

� Full service / evolution packages available

� Low investment in system and vessel,

very short “return on investment”

� No special operating personnel necessary


•• „Safety First“„Safety First“ - MOTS enable an substantial increase of

safety, in particular with view on the transfer numbers which

are expected

• MOTS enable an increase of increase of accessibilityaccessibility and thus to the

economyeconomy of the planned offshore wind parks without

investments into expensive special vessels

• Service costs can be reduced by using MOTS,

which brings ecological advantagesecological advantages apart from

the economic advantageseconomic advantages
