has a control system that uses power to drive the lifting gear to keep the load stabilized along the vertical axis to compensate for any movement of the platform specific point, using power to gain positional accuracy.
269:. Whereas most motion compensators will compensate for movement in all directions, the heave compensator will compensate for movement in only one direction, for instance, for vertical movement. In practice, the words 288:. Not only does the anchor prevent the ship from drifting, but the chain itself dampens the movement of the ship due to undulating motion of the waves. Generally, motion compensators are implemented as 157:

165:, heave compensation is used to reduce the impact on the drill system from motions, including those of 292:. For very large forces (dozens to hundreds of tonnes), the springs are implemented as gas springs: 316: 266: 154: 122: 79: 385: 358: 330:
or combinations of these. A new approach to advanced heave compensation systems is offered by

More advanced heave compensated systems are often specified as systems with
