ABSTRACT:
A system transfers, at sea, a load onto fixed legs of a substructure emerging from water. The load is specially fabricated in the construction yard and is transported to the substructure by a suitable cargo barge. The load and the substructure have a corresponding number of legs. The transfer system includes a preload mooring subsystem in front of the substructure. A horizontal sheave can be opened and is used to shift a mooring wire from one position to another. The transfer system also includes a subsystem to mate the load to the substructure. This mating subsystem has a main transfer or extender, called an ALS, installed on legs of the load. Also, the mating subsystem has a secondary transfer or cargo barge release, called a BRS, installed on the cargo barge. Furthermore, the transfer system includes a subsystem to protect the barge sides and the legs of the substructure. Finally, the transfer system includes a cargo barge arrest subsystem.
