Offshore system with movable cantilever
An offshore system includes a vessel having a deck; a cantilever which is mounted on the deck and which is moveable in a longitudinal direction of the cantilever relative to the deck between a retracted position and an extended position, and which is rotatable relative to the deck about a substantially vertical swivel axis; and actuators to move the cantilever in longitudinal direction and to rotate the cantilever about the swivel axis. The swivel axis is provided by a single sliding and swivel assembly arranged at one end of the cantilever, including a fixed part mounted to the deck and a sliding part mounted to the cantilever. The sliding part is arranged to slide in longitudinal direction of the cantilever relative to the fixed part when the cantilever moves in the longitudinal direction. The fixed part and/or the combination of fixed part and sliding part are configured to form the swivel axis allowing the cantilever to rotate relative to the deck. A sliding assembly is arranged at the other end of the cantilever supporting the cantilever and allowing the cantilever to slide in longitudinal direction of the cantilever relative to the deck during movement of the cantilever in longitudinal direction, and to slide in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction relative to the deck during rotation of the cantilever relative to the deck.
