HOLA

ESte es un texto que habla de buques de transporte de petróleo. No sé cómo se traduce "leg" en este contexto:

One benefit jack-ups do have over other floating vessels is the capability of lowering the legs, thereby easily lowering the VCG (Vertical center of gravity), and even reaching a location with a stable foundation to weather storms, if the water depth and seabed permit

The tall legs of a jack-up under tow have the doubly negative effect of raising the vertical center of gravity making the unit less stable afloat and acting as large sails which in high wind conditions, significantly increase the heeling effect.

The center of gravity of the legs can be hundreds of feet above the waterline so even the slight motions of the hull in waves cause the legs to move like pendulums.

Unless the legs are tightly secured at the jack case of the leg fixation system, damage can occur to the leg structure, jacking machinery, jack case structure and the hull structure itself.


¿Son las patas del buque?

Gracias por su ayuda.

Según Diccionario Técnico y de Ingeniería R.L. Guinle
The legs of a crane= jambas/patas de altura de una grúa
Leg= jamba/pata

Clarisa tiene razón, los buques no tienen patas, está hablando de plataformas, que se pueden remolcar y colocar en otros lugares y que tienen un sistema hidraúlico que las permite moverse hacia arriba y hacia abajo.

Aquí te envío algunos links,complementando el aporte de Clarisa.

Offshore platform
..."A tension leg subsea platform (TLSP) (1) comprises a buoyant, submersible hull anchored to the seabed by tendons (3). A jack-up platform (6), either for drilling operations, production operations or any combination of these, is located such that its legs (8), when lowered, rest on the TLSP. In an alternative arrangement (Fig 3), legs or columns are pre-installed on the TLSP, and the working platform lifted or floated onto them. In either case, the two components can be fabricated and travel separately to the field location. The effective depth of the TLSP may be 30m to 100m, while the sea itself is substantially deeper than 100m. The working platform may be re-used at other locations. A drilling platform may be exchanged for a production platform while the TLSP remains moored on location, and the production platform may in turn be exchanged for a decommissioning platform"....
