DYNA CLIQ - Van der Velden Marine Systems - #1

DYNA-CLIQ COUPLING SYSTEM The DYNA-CLIQ Coupling System improves the competitive position of push convoys and barge trains in comparison to single vessels and makes it possible for them to sail during extreme weather conditions, also on large open stretches of water. Even at Beaufort scale six or seven the system is exceptionally effective. The system consists of an hydraulically operated arm, kept under pressure using an accumulator in order that no power source is required during sailing. In addition, the arm simplifies the coupling process. The correct tuning of the hydraulics and the choice of rubber are key aspects of the design. This project has been supported by Senter, EFRO, SNN, Port of Rotterdam and AVV. A. van der Velden B.V. Dorpsstraat 67a P.O.

The DYNA-CLIQ coupling system improves the competitive position of push boat convoys in comparison to single vessels. The system consists of an hydraulically operated arm, kept under pressure using an accumulator in order that no power source is required during sailing. The hydraulic arm simplifies the coupling process. Most important is the correct tuning of the hydraulics and the right choice of the neoprene fenders. The DYNA-CLIQ coupling system makes it possible to sail during extreme weather conditions. This system can be used up to scale six or seven Beaufort and is still effective on large open stretches of water! The DYNA-CLIQ coupling system has been developed by Van der Velden Marine Systems in cooperation with TNO and Alkyon. DYNA-Cliq Coupling System
