Ship Shark Jaw

Ship Shark Jaw Towing Systems

Our Ship Shark Jaw systems are professional – grade anchor handling equipment that offer unwavering secure holding and braking capabilities for wire ropes and chains during crucial vessel operations. Specifically engineered for anchor handling, towing, and mooring tasks, these sturdy systems guarantee safe load management. Moreover, they keep the deck space clear when not in active use, enhancing overall operational efficiency on the vessel.

Operating Mechanism

Active Operation Mode

When the vessel is in the process of weighing the anchor, dropping it, or towing, the jaws of the Ship Shark Jaw system rise to firmly grip and secure the chains or wires. This ensures that the load remains stable and under control throughout these critical operations, preventing any potential accidents or equipment damage.

Storage Operation Mode

When the system is not in use, the jaws retract flush with the deck. This clever design maintains an unobstructed work area on the deck, allowing crew members to move around freely without any trip hazards. It also helps in keeping the deck clean and organized, facilitating other maintenance or operational tasks.

Sturdy Build and High – Quality Components

Shark Jaw Box

• High – Strength Frame: The Shark Jaw box features a welded frame made of high – strength structural steel. This robust construction enables it to withstand extreme operational loads without any deformation or failure, ensuring long – term reliability.
• Compact Design: Its compact design not only saves space on the vessel but also contributes to its ability to handle heavy loads. Despite its small footprint, it can handle the stresses and strains of marine operations with ease.
• Long – Lasting Durability: The durable construction of the Shark Jaw box guarantees a long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing downtime for maintenance.

Jaw Mechanism

• Independent Flipping Jaws: The system is equipped with independent flipping jaws that are actuated hydraulically. This allows for precise and flexible control over the gripping and releasing of the chains or wires, enhancing the overall performance of the system.
• Dual Heavy – Duty Hydraulic Cylinders: The dual heavy – duty hydraulic cylinders, connected via a lever plate, provide the necessary force for the jaws to operate smoothly. They ensure that the jaws can handle heavy loads and operate reliably under various conditions.
• Smooth Transition: The system offers a smooth operation when transitioning from the working position to the stowed position. This not only improves the user experience but also reduces wear and tear on the components, extending their lifespan.
• Deck – Clearing Design: The deck – clearing design of the jaw mechanism eliminates any trip hazards on the deck, enhancing safety for the crew members working in the area.

Towing Pin System

• Position – Adjustable Bollards: The position – adjustable bollards allow for optimal placement of the chains or ropes. This ensures that the load is evenly distributed and that the system operates at its maximum efficiency.
• Rotating Bollard Design: The rotating bollard design reduces friction and wear on the chains or ropes. This not only extends the lifespan of these components but also improves the overall performance of the towing operation.
• Hydraulic Positioning: The towing pins can be hydraulically positioned at any height above the deck, providing flexibility in different operational scenarios. This allows the system to adapt to various vessel configurations and towing requirements.
• Fully Retractable: The fully retractable feature of the towing pin system enables a clean deck profile when not in use. This helps in maintaining a tidy and organized deck, facilitating other operations on the vessel.

Lifting Pin Assembly

• Hydraulic Vertical Positioning: The lifting pin assembly uses hydraulic power to vertically position the chains or ropes. This provides precise control over the height of the load, ensuring optimal engagement with the jaws.
• Precise Height Control: The precise height control feature allows for accurate positioning of the chains or ropes, which is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the system. It ensures that the load is properly secured and that the system operates within its designed parameters.
• Smooth Operation: The lifting pin assembly offers smooth operation between the deck and working positions. This reduces the stress on the components and improves the overall reliability of the system.

Advanced Hydraulic and Control System

Dedicated Pump Station Features

• Independent Operation: The dedicated pump station operates independently, unaffected by other ship systems. This ensures that the Ship Shark Jaw system can function reliably even if other systems on the vessel experience problems.
• Optimized Piping Layout: The optimized piping layout of the pump station maximizes efficiency, reducing energy consumption and ensuring smooth fluid flow. This contributes to the overall performance and reliability of the hydraulic system.
• PLC – Based Intelligent Controls: The system is equipped with PLC – based intelligent controls that offer multiple operation modes:
  • Selective Jaw Operation: The selective jaw operation mode allows for individual or combined operation of the jaws, providing flexibility in different operational scenarios.
  • Precise Pin Positioning: The precise pin positioning feature enables the towing pins to be positioned at any required height, ensuring optimal load management.
  • Rapid Emergency Release: In case of an emergency, the system has a rapid emergency release capability, allowing for immediate disengagement of the load to prevent accidents.
  • Accumulator Backup System: The accumulator backup system ensures that the system can continue to operate during power failure situations, providing an additional layer of safety and reliability.

Safety and Emergency Features

• Quick – Release Function: The quick – release function allows for immediate disengagement of the load in case of an emergency. This can prevent serious accidents and damage to the vessel or equipment.
• 24V DC Emergency Power Backup System: The 24V DC emergency power backup system provides an alternative power source in case of a main power failure. This ensures that the critical safety features of the system, such as the quick – release function, can still operate.
• Fail – Safe Accumulator: The fail – safe accumulator maintains the operation of the system during power loss, ensuring that the load remains secure until it can be safely released.
• Controlled Retraction: The controlled retraction feature prevents equipment damage during the retraction process. It ensures that the components are retracted smoothly and safely, reducing the risk of breakage or malfunction.
