| Abstract | This report describes the development and use of a data acquisition system to capture deployment and manoeuvring performance data from full-scale twin falls davit-launched lifeboats for the purpose of correlation with model-scale experimental results. Full-scale trials were performed at the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University (MI), Offshore Safety and Survival Centre (OSSC), during September 2002. This training facility's conventional twin falls davit launch system, equipped with a Preferred Orientation and Displacement (PrOD) boom, was used to deploy a Totally Enclosed Motor Propelled Survival Craft (TEMPSC) from a fixed platform in calm conditions. Data was collected during TEMPSC deployment and operation in each of several lifeboat and launch system configurations. |
