Unpacking the hull unit from its transport box
The hull unit is delivered in a large wooden transport box.
Prerequisites
The shipyard must provide all necessary tools and manpower. The following specific items
are required for this task:
• Carpenter tools
• A crane (or other lifting device) capable of lifting the entire hull unit
Note
The hull unit is heavy. Appropriate lifting equipment (lifting tackle, portable crane or ship’s
crane) is required. Always use appropriate lifting equipment to minimize risk of personnel
injury or equipment damages. Only certified equipment must be used.
Context
The hull unit, transducer and transducer cable must be handled with care.
Note
The transducer is protected with a thick layer of foam to prevent damage during transport
and hull unit installation. This protection must remain attached while the hull unit is being
manoeuvred into the sonar room.
