MOTION COMPENSATED FEATURES Motion compensated cable lay can extend the weather window far The Touch Down Point (TDP) of the cable on the seabed can beyond the operational limits of conventional cable laying vessels. shift over a large distance, which can cause damage to the cable, especially when the lay trajectory is following a bend. In ¡ Weather window can be extended by approximately 50% that case the cable is dragged laterally over a large distance more operational days and can snag around obstacles. Variations in cable tension can ¡ Motion compensated cable lay reduces the risk of cable failure cause difficulties during trenching or can cause cable failure in ¡ The reduction of tension variations improves also the lay case compression occurs. perfomance: - Reduces the chance of snagging cables on obstacles on When the motions of the overboarding chute exceed a critical the seabed; and velocity, waves will start running along the catenary that can bend - Facilitates trenching of the cable the cable beyond its minimal bending radius, causing damage. ¡ Modular design with straightforward interface for a swift These effects limit the weather window of conventional cable mobilization laying vessels. Motion compensated cable lay mitigates these effects by keeping the catenary stationary, by compensating the Relatively small motions of the overboarding chutes can position of the overboarding chute for vessel motions. result in large variation in the cable catenary to the seabed.

D CABLE LAY 02 FULLY MECHANIZED QUADRANT HANDLING QUADRANT CURSOR SYSTEM The quadrant is fully restrained from the start of the operation The quadrant handling system is equipped with a cursor until it is released below the splash zone system. The quadrant motions are fully restrained until deployed ¡ Increased weather window beneath the splash zone ¡ Controlled and time efficient operation ¡ The cursor system avoids damage to the quadrant ¡ Increased safety ¡ Reduced catenary dynamics MODULAR DESIGN, SHORT MOBILIZATION TIME The system can be installed swiftly because of its modular design and simple interface ¡ Can be installed using a single lift ¡ Integrated power and control systems minimize interconnecting cable with the vessel ??? 5
MOTION COMPENSATED FEATURES ADJUSTABLE QUADRANT RADIUS CONTROLLED TOUCH DOWN POINT LOCATION The radius of the quadrant can be adjusted from the MBR to Motion compensation keeps the touch down point of the cable straight during lowering within a smaller target box ¡ Cable can be abandoned without uncontrolled drop onto ¡ A smaller target lane requires less survey and target lane the seabed. Cable tension is controlled during the complete clearing activities operation ¡ Dragging of the cable over the seabed, especially when ¡ Quadrant can be retrieved when cable is straight on the cornering, is avoided. Reducing tension variations and seabed avoiding torque variations that can cause cable failure risks of snagging n io cus Ex TDF shift SYNCHRONIZED PULL-IN-WINCH Synchronization of the Pull-in-Winch with the central control system ensures better control of pull-in operations ¡ Improved tension control avoids overbending or compression in the cable ¡ Controlled from vessel using a secure data connection 6 6
D CABLE LAY 02 REDUCED RISK OF CABLE FAILURE DURING EFFICIENT CPS STORAGE SYSTEM TRENCHING CPS strings are loaded on board in containers and transferred Motion compensated cable lay reduces the tension variations to the firing line using a gutter system in the laid cable to a narrow bandwidth ¡ Containers allow for easy transport and loading facilitating trenching ¡ Height adjustable ramp to extract a CPS from different elevations ¡ CPS gutter system independent of cable routing, allowing parallel operations ¡ Safe access for personnel to containers SPECIFICATIONS 14.5m Width 60m Height 8.5m General Product Storage Maximum line pull including dynamics 35 mt Storage capacity 2x 6000 mt Minimum product OD 50 mm Maximum product OD 500 mm Dimensions Minimum bending radius product (in tension) 5m Length 60 m Width 14.5 m Motion Compensation System Height 8.5 m Vertical Compensation Stroke +/-2.5 m 7
