FIELD: transportation.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to floating barges used to install a superstructure for marine platforms, more specifically, to systems and methods of stabilisation of vertical rocking caused by wave impact at the barge system in process of superstructure installation. One or more damping plates may be connected in the position below the water surface with one or more barges for changing the period of barge movement relative to the period of wave motion for better stabilisation of the barge and resistance to vertical rocking. The damping plate may be connected between barges or at the end or side of the barge. Each barge may contain a damping plate, and damping plates may be connected to each other with the possibility of disconnection. Additionally the damping plate may turn in the upward direction in process of superstructure transportation to the place of installation for reduction of hydraulic resistance and then turn into submersible position during installation of the superstructure.
EFFECT: technical result is achieved in increased extent of resistance of a barge system to vertical rocking caused by wave impact when using the system for installation of a superstructure onto marine platforms.
