Way forward for fibre-rope based winch systems after 21: Timeline for JIP proposal: - 29. Timeline for project: - Part 1: 21. - Part 2: 212. - Part 3: 214. Approval of systems in anticipation of final rules based on part 1. - Develop criteria for limited use. - Experience gathering - ref. DNV-RP-A23. - Should not need detailed knowledge of failure modes. - Generic experience as basis. First version of standard as soon as possible. - Industry must define the needs. - Number of usage cycles actually required. 9 Tension ratio (Belastningsfaktor) The tension ratio is the ratio between the ultimate strength of the rope and the highest operational tension. TR = T ultimate T max 1 5

CBOS machine at DNV - Acergy work 17 Refining DNV standards on rope-based installation systems Operational condition at which TTR accellerates. - Basis for rope discard criterion. - Linked to visual observations on the rope. (Crew.) Step-wise levels of approval. - No considerations to localised accelleration: Limited service time - quick. - Some consideration: Longer service and rigorous monitioring. - Full consideration: Maximised service time / cost optimisation. Requirements to rope manufacture will be based on DNV-OS-E33. - Including the yarn approval program. Time-based safety format will be required. 18 9
Important areas: Rope construction. Coating and its durability. Temperature performance. Monitoring, maintenance and repair. Heave-compensation efficiency. Visual inspection criteria.
