Towing plan

Towing plan

From Magcompass we can collaborate with your technical department to carry out the towing plan prior to the execution of the transport itself.

This study tries to predict the magnitude of the force that will be generated when trying to move the ship or floating device that we try to tow, taking into account the different resistances that originate due to the state of the sea and the force of the wind.

Once the maximum force required to carry out the transport at a given speed has been estimated, the elements that are to compose the towing line are selected, ensuring that the minimum breaking loads of these elements are in accordance with international recommendations as collected in the recommendations of the IMO “Guidelins for the safe ocean towing”. Likewise, the recommendations provided by DNV are observed.
