Pneumatic Line Thrower (PLT®) specialist Restech is offering service operation vessel (SOV) owners in the wind industry a preview of a new system developed to satisfy rising demands for flexibility in towing and mooring operations.
A scale model of an innovative Remote Launcher TI will be on display on the VIKING Life-Saving Equipment stand (EC-40) at WindEurope 2025, held at Copenhagen’s Bella Center, April 8-10. As part of the modular design, its remotely triggered launcher will fit seamlessly together as a fixed line thrower with the emergency towline.
The scale model introduces the potential for a Remote Launcher that can be brought to market at a fraction of the cost of the project-specific remote launchers which Restech has previously developed to customer specifications.
“We have undertaken several government projects involving remote control launchers, but they have been supplied for special requirements and in small numbers,” says Petter Olsen, Chief Marketing Officer, Restech Norway AS. “The knowledge we have gained has been critical in developing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges of the remote launch option and for finding cost effective solutions.”
One driver for innovation has been Norway’s Ocean Charger consortium, which is developing technologies to transition SOVs to zero
