Abstract: Unloading of offshore supply or other small to medium sized vessel accomplished using sea state 5 capable modified two mast AutoLog system. Load is picked up from supply vessel and landed on the deck edge elevator, stabilized by computer controlled winches. System can accomodate containers or other types of cargo with spreader adapters. System is capable of moving 30, 53,000 pound containers (or equivalent cargo) per hour.
Benefits: System is lightweight and low cost, therefore adaptable to installation on small ships, such as coastal container ships, for call at smaller ports that do not have gantry cranes.
