Deployment

Overboarding Chutes

Stern and side chutes engineered for safe cable overboarding.

Overview

Overboarding Chutes

Roller-mounted overboarding chutes that guide cable, umbilical or pipe from the lay tensioner over the vessel stern or side, respecting the product's minimum bend radius and providing smooth load transfer to the catenary.

Key Features

  • Custom radius optimised to product bend specification
  • Roller spacing tuned to prevent point loading
  • Optional tilt adjustment for sea-state compensation
  • Quick-release roller modules for maintenance
  • Compatible with overboarding video monitoring systems
  • Available in carbon steel or stainless steel for harsh environment
