    摘要: The invention concerns a system for mooring a first floating structure (2) to a second structure (1), for example an FAU to an FPSO. The system comprises a main positioning arrangement (4) for maintaining the first floating structure (2) at a predetermined distance (lc) from the second structure (1). The system further comprises an auxiliary positioning arrangement (3, 3a, 3b) or a back-up system for mooring the first floating structure (2) to an underlying seabed by for example an anchor. This auxiliary positioning arrangement is configured to establish, in case of malfunctioning of the main positioning arrangement, a resultant force (Fres) acting on the first floating structure (2), which force has a magnitude and direction that ensures maintenance of a minimum distance (lmin) between the first floating structure (2) and the second structure (1). The resultant force is the total force acting on the first floating structure and involves for example a surge added mass, a damping force, a horizontal force component from the auxiliary positioning arrangement and a total force from the main positioning arrangement.

    摘要: A marine threat monitoring and defense system and method protects a target vessel in icy or other marine regions. The system uses communications, user interfaces, and data sources to identify marine obstacles ( e.g ., icebergs, ice floes, pack ice, etc.) near a target vessel performing set operations ( e.g ., a stationed structure performing drilling or production operations or a seismic survey vessel performing exploration operations with a planned route). The system monitors positions of these identified marine obstacles over time relative to the target vessel and predicts any potential threats. When a threat is predicted, the system plans deployment of support vessels, beacons, and the like to respond to the threat. For example, the system can direct a support vessel to divert the path or break up ice threatening the target vessel.

    摘要: A system for securing a watercraft to a dock includes a first sensor for automatically detecting a securing point to which to dock the watercraft, an extendable arm with a cable inside, the cable having a proximal end for mounting to the watercraft, and a grasping element mounted to a distal end of the cable and configured to reversibly engage the securing point. A method for securing a watercraft to a dock includes automatically detecting a securing point on the dock, extending an arm from the watercraft toward the securing point, wherein the arm houses a cable having a proximal end mounted to the watercraft, and reversibly engaging the securing point using a grasping element mounted to a distal end of the arm.
