follows:
(a) Remove two ½” mooring lines from storage box.
(b) Connect slings to the 4 lift points at each corner of the DIP 500 skimmer
using 4 shackles.
(c) Securer 2 mooring lines (from the storage box) to the inboard side of the
skimmer one forward and aft.
(d) Attach the crane hook to the DIP 500 lifting slings. Remove the deck
lashing from the unit and have at least two individuals on deck for
spotters and line handlers for deploying the skimmer. (use mooring line
for tag line)
(e) Lash all hydraulic and discharge lines in a neat manner to the center cleat
on the DIP 500.
(f) From the point that the lines are attached to the center cleat measure out
about 10 or 12 feet and lash the lines together again making a loop in the
line capable of accommodating the on board crane hook.
(g) Attach a short tag line to the lifting ring of the DIP 500 lifting sling
assembly so that it can be secured to a deck cleat next to the skimmer.
(h) Lift and deploy the skimmer alongside the vessel and secure.
(i) Operate the DOP pump (See 4.3.1) and observe the discharge from the 4
inch hose. The discharge hose can now be connected to the storage
tank connection.
(j) Disconnect the crane hook from the lifting ring and connect it to the
lashed hoses.
(k) Adjust crane to hold lines so that they don’t interfere with the skimmer
being towed evenly and do not interfere with the containment boom being
used.
