Since every ship is different and owners have special demands the design of each system is unique, however, we normally incorporate parts from our earlier experiences. So far we have managed to solve every difficult shipside.

In our design work we also try to consider the design from an aesthetic point of view.

The level of automation can also vary depending upon the requirements and we have delivered everything from fully automatic to manually operated systems.

At SKYCON we are very quality conscious and aware of maintenance problems, therefore we only use aluminium and stainless steel in our equipment. Every delivery is supplied with a complete manual.

Automatic washing systems

Normally a long vertical ramp is used to hold the spraying pipes and it will travel along the shipside. An individual spraying pattern is designed for each ship depending upon the pump capacity and the ships design. The systems also allow the windows to be cleaned when the ship is at sea. A normal system cleans 200-400 windows in two hours. When the equipment is not in use the ramp can be swung up to a horizontal, safe parking position. On the largest ships this has also been necessary for the Panama Canal passage.

Working platforms are also a part of our systems and the platform uses the ramp as a guide to prevent the effect from wind. The platforms can be manual or electrical all to the Client’s requirements.
