Type 5 Tether Management System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Type 5c Tether Management System (TMS) is designed for ultra-compact and weight-efficient handling of work-class ROVs, capable of managing a 9000kg ROV package with a 3g rating. It decouples ROV motion from the main umbilical, allowing greater operational radius.
Key Features:
  • 4000m Depth Rating
  • Variable tether speed
  • Gross ROV weight capacity of 9000 kg
  • Tether line pull of 330 kgf
  • Capacity for up to 1150m of 27mm diameter tether
  • Gentle tether handling and load sensing
  • Auto-render overload protection
  • Easy access docking latches
  • Stainless steel frame
Specifications:
  • Tether diameter: 25-39mm
  • Capacity for 27mm tether: 1150m (980kg in air)
  • Capacity for 35mm tether: 750m (825kg in air)
  • Maximum line pull (inner layer): 330kgf (adjustable)
  • Haul in speed: 36 m/min
  • Pay out speed: 40 m/min
  • Weight in air (excluding tether): 2589kg
  • Maximum load rating of umbilical connection: 12500kg (3g rating-proof load 37500kg)
  • Maximum load rating of ROV docking box: 9000kg (3g Rating proof load 27000kgf)
  • Dimensions: Diameter 2021mm, Narrowest width 1971mm, Height 2204mm
Design Considerations: The TMS features a two-stage latching docking box for secure deployment and recovery, and a top lifting cone that can be customized. The grooved drum shell is standard, and most maintenance can be performed with guards on.
Note: Specifications are illustrative for marketing purposes and may vary due to product improvements. Specific details should be confirmed at order placement.

Type 5 Tether Management System-1

everything remotely possible SUBSEA TECHNOLOGIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The Type 5c Tether Management System (TMS) has been specially developed to provide an ultra-compact and weight-efficient solution. It is capable of handling a 9000kg ROV package with 3g rating. It is suitable for all work- class ROVs. The TMS stores and deploys the ROV package tether cable so that the ROV motion is decoupled from motions of the main umbilical to the surface vessel. It allows the ROV to work at a greater operating radius from the deployment The docking box used on the underside of the TMS has a powerful two stage latching action that structurally locks the ROV to the TMS for deployment and recovery through the sea surface. The top lifting cone can be a Forum Standard design or custom specified bul- let, to suit an existing A-Frame. The Type 5c TMS has a gentle tether route which will maximize the operating life of any matched tether.
