Overboarding Chutes

Plated and Roller-types

To ensure safe journey of the product between the vessel and the seabed, the overboarding chute comes as an essential part of a horizontal lay spread.

Manufactured to the client and project requirements, Maritime Developments’ chutes can feature a low-friction plate running surface or a roller configuration, detailed to suit the preferred product range.

With proven designs for both types of chutes, the MDL solution makes sure the integrity of the product is never compromised - just like the rest of our product handling range.
