Oceanographic Research - Arctic temperatures

A ship deck featuring a a-frame, equipment containers, tools, and two workers. A large structure and a distant bridge are visible under a clear sky.

Oceanographic Research

Deep Sea research equipment for mounting on naval inspection vessels for artic use. The design temperature is -30˚C to +40˚C. 

The LARS System consists of two hydraulic winches: 50 kN Winch/10 kN Winch and A-Frame 80 kN with a hydraulic extension boom to deploy and recover scientific instrumentation (CTD and water sampling rosette, seismic equipment and cable sheaves for up to 4000m with 16mm rope/wire. 

Environmental Test Chamber

Realistic simulation of sea conditions

The pictured equipment is undergoing a realistic simulation of sea conditions like temperature, humidity and salt water. All factors that are necessary to know, when the Launch and Recovery System is in operation for scientific purposes in NE Greenland or arctic places. 

The Lindo Component and Structure Testing is the only commercial test site of its kind in Northern Europe. This gives SH Group extra means of testing the reliability of our equipment in extreme weather conditions before installation.
