<p>This degree project has been carried out at FMC technology, Kongsberg, Norway. The aim of the project is to design turnbuckles that facilitate length adjustment of a sling during offshore lifting. Additionally, the design has to fulfil FMC technology safety requirements.</p><p>Further, the project also comprises of studies like material selection, numerical calculations, manufacturing and detailed drawings of all the components of the final design concept.</p><p>The final design concept presented in this report is based on a modification of an ordinary turnbuckle. Design improvements were carried out in order to fulfil the FMC technology requirements. A material selection has been performed according to DNV 2.7-1, and a suitable surface treatment of the material has been conducted. For the calculations, a safety factor has been taken in to account according to DNV 2.7-1.</p><p>The drawings of each component of the turnbuckle have been presented and are attached to this report.</p>
