6.1 Checklists Introduction

This section describes the first startup of the Seakeeper.

Reference Documents & Drawings:


  • Previous sections for mechanical, electrical and cooling installation must be completed before this startup sequence is initiated.
  • Before continuing, covers must be installed unless the Seakeeper is inaccessible and there is no risk to injury. Also, the area around the Seakeeper must be clear of personnel and equipment.

The Installation and Start Up Checklist section provides an overview of the primary steps covered in the installation manual and should be referenced throughout the installation process. Upon completion of the
Seakeeper 9 installation, the installer should commission each Seakeeper unit with the Seakeeper Commissioning Form (90437). The Commissioning Checklist Work Instruction (SWI-105) provides a checklist of items to inspect and verify during the commissioning process and serves as a supplement to the Seakeeper
Commissioning Form (90437).

All Seakeeper stabilizers should be commissioned to verify installation specifications and requirements have been implemented properly. The commissioning process should include completion of the Seakeeper
Commissioning Form (90437), all the items in the Installation Checklist, and verification of Seakeeper operation without alarms or abnormal behavior.
