hydraulic deck machinery
The hydraulic system utilises small diameter piping thereby facilitating installation and saving space on deck and in pump rooms. The complete “ring main” system includes electric motors, variable axial piston pumps, valves and miscellaneous hydraulic components, all mounted on the hydraulic power unit, minimising the yard’s instal-lation work.
Integration of equipment driven by a common hydraulic power unit in a “ring main” system enables all units to be operated simultaneously. This simple piping consists of main and branch lines and no valves are needed between the pipes. All or any combination of the following hydraulic equipment may be integrated in the ring main system, thereby reducing both equipment and installation costs.

The increase in environmental awareness is becoming more and more apparent in the type of equipment that shipowners are choosing for their vessels. A direct result is the increasing popularity of diesel electric propulsion systems and electric deck machinery.
In line with the increasing awareness of environ-mentally sound solutions, Pusnes™ electric deck machinery has undergone significant modernisation and streamlining. Electric deck machinery eliminates the need for hydraulics and therefore risk to the environment.
The new generation of Pusnes™ electric deck machinery has either frequency controlled or pole changing motors. This is just one example of Aker Solutions commitment to further developing deck machinery solutions tailored to meet future market demands.

Exploring the Arctic
and sub-Arctic regions
Aker Solutions has met the challenge of functional and reliable systems for rough and extreme weather conditions. As development of the Arctic continues, the need for specialised equipment for these harsh and environmentally vulnerable areas becomes significant.
When Roald Amundsen planned his exploration of the Arctics he chose an anchor winch from Pusnes Mekaniske Verksted for his polar vessel FRAM. He was well aware that reliable systems were a must if he should succeed in being the first to reach the South Pole.
The majority of today’s shuttle tankers operate in the extreme weather conditions of the North Sea or in the Arctic north of Russia, where reliable systems are a must. Customers continue to depend on Aker Solutions to develop and deliver equipment that meets these demands.
With over 100 years of experience supplying deck machinery designed for extreme conditions, Aker Solutions has acquired extensive expertise and skill, which is reflected in other innovative products such as the Pusnes Arctic crane offloading system™. Arctic and sub-Arctic deliveries include mooring and loading systems to the northern territories of Canada and Russia.
