Objective

The objective was to get a well-functioning storage basket for one spare umbilical at a low cost. Another objective was to minimize the maintenance requirements of the system.

Advantages

The customer appreciated primarily the minimal maintenance requirements as well as the durability of the carousel. Since the air film carousel is low compared to a solution on wheels, it also economizes on space.

Result

The air bearing alternative was the most cost-effective alternative in this case. All the objectives set were achieved.
