StandardEditionSectionInquiry #QuestionReply2C7th Edition, Mar. 1: Referring to Section , in calm water (Hsig = 0) I have a Av of 0. That gives me an onboard Cv of With my crane stiffness I also get a offboard Cv of or below. That means that the Cv for onboard is the same as for offboard. Is that correct?Question 2: I assume that the Cv is varying with the SWLH while the PF will be constant according to the highest SWLH the crane has, with a capacity of 560 000 lbf (at m) I will get an Cv of and a Pedestal load factor (PF) of With a capacity of 10 000 lbf (at 34 m) the Cv will be while the PF remains Is that correct?Question 3: My opinion is that the Pedestal load factor should give an extra safety for the crane operator in case of entanglement. For an onboard lift the chance for a catastrophic case because of entanglement is not existent. Does that mean we do not apply the PF for onboard lifts?
