SURF and Pipe Lay Tensioners

Electric or hydraulic systems

Versatile, portable and compact - Maritime Developments' offshore tensioner range holds the key to safe and efficient flex-lay operations, on land and at sea.

All of the 2 and 4 track systems have been designed with highest safety in mind: that of the operator and of the product, providing peace of mind when the unexpected occurs.

That is coupled with unparalleled opening for product abandonment and recovery, thanks to pivoting tracks controlled by intuitive systems developed by MDL software engineers in-house.

Particularly the unique 4 track range has no equals: the patented MDL TTS-4/140 design allows for two tracks to open in vertical mode, as well as for operations in vertical, horizontal or inclined mode, depending on specific project requirements.

And thanks to their portable design, all of the MDL systems can move easily between vessels, quay and road. In other words - a single solution for numerous applications.
