Floating Production
High-capacity systems for FPSO riser and buoy operations
With more than 20 years of experience in engineering equipment for floating production facilities, AXTech delivers solutions for demanding offshore operations.
We design and supply winches, compensators, guide systems, and structural equipment —engineered to specific project requirements. From riser and umbilical pull-in to buoy retrieval and turret handling, our solutions combine mechanical strength, precise control, and operational reliability.
Riser Pull-In Systems
AXTech Riser Pull-In Systems deliver high pulling capacity and precise control for safe and efficient installation of risers and umbilicals on FPSOs and other floating production units. Each system is custom-engineered to the vessel’s layout, load requirements, and environmental conditions.
Our scope covers riser pull-in systems with sheave trolleys, skidding winch riser pull-in systems, and combined riser and mooring winches.
Operating on FPSOs worldwide, AXTech pull-in systems are trusted by major operators for their proven precision, reliability, and strength at sea.
Typical performance
- Pulling capacity: 200 – 900 tonnes
- Brake capacity: up to 1.100 tonnes
- High Tension Speed range: 0.1-2 m/min
- Low Tension Speed range: 0.1-8m/min
- Wire rope diameter: 72–171 mm
- Storage capacity: up to 700 m
- Hydraulic pressure: up to 300 bar
- Designlife: 15–25 years
Disconnectable buoy system
AXTech buoy retrieval systems enable safe and controlled handling of mooring buoys and subsea connection points during disconnection, reconnection, and maintenance operations.
These systems combine high-capacity winches, integrated spooling and tension control, and compact, DNV-certified structures.
Operational experience and client support
AXTech engineers have extensive hands-on experience from riser and buoy pull-in campaigns worldwide.
In addition to system delivery, we frequently provide operational support,installation supervision, and commissioning assistance – supporting safe execution of complex offshore operations.
Each delivery is fully documented, factory-tested, and supported through commissioning and service – ensuring dependable performance throughout its lifetime.
