    摘要: A lifting block and a method of using it for supporting a load from a first lifting device or sharing the load between the first lifting device and a second lifting device, particularly for use on a vessel and deep water applications, are disclosed. The lifting block, with at least one sheave, has first and second connection elements associated with it. In one arrangement (single fall) a lifting wire or rope is fed around the sheave and terminated in an end stop which also provides the first connection element. When the first lifting device is operated alone, the end stop rests on the block. When the second connection element, secured to the lifting wire or rope of a second lifting device, is joined to the first connection element the load is snared between the two lifting devices which can then be operated in unison to position the load at a required, deeper position.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a vessel with a double pontoon arrangement joined together with a central bridge creating an offset “H” arrangement. The bridge spans the pontoons and includes a gantry structure on top of which sits a lifting system. Articulated tugs provide accommodation, propulsion, and power to the main part of the installation vessel. Additional lifting devices can be installed within the gantry to provide further lifting capability. At least two stabilizing legs are provided along each pontoon. Once set up onsite, the stabilizing legs can be deployed to the seabed to lift the installation vessel up a short distance to apply load stability during lifting operations. Seabed piles, mast elements, and turbine elements are delivered by barges that are temporarily moored between the pontoons for offloading and installation. Empty barges are relocated, and successive barges bring remaining elements for offloading and installation to complete the wind turbine installation.

    摘要: The present invention is typically embodied to exert active control of two same-shipboard cranes performing joint lifting of a payload. Sensory signals indicative of ship motion, and of luff angle and hoist line length of both cranes, are transmitted to a computer. The sensory signals are processed by the computer using a ship motion cancellation algorithm, which solves for values of the respective luff angles and hoist line lengths of both cranes, such values achieving static equilibrium (e.g., zero motion horizontally, vertically, and rotationally in the same vertical geometric plane) of the suspended payload. Inverse kinematic control signals in accordance with the mathematical (e.g., minimum norm) solutions are transmitted by the computer to respective luff angle actuators and hoist line length actuators of both cranes so that the suspended payload tends toward steadiness. Inventive control thus acts on a continual basis to significantly reduce pendulation during the two-crane lifting operation.

    摘要: A cargo transfer system for transferring cargo between two decks which may be subject to relative movements between each other is disclosed. The cargo transfer system includes a transverse member movably coupled to an elevated portion of a first deck (or a tower member on the first deck), and a side member movably coupled to the transverse member. In a deployment position, the side member is releasably coupled with a receiving base on the second deck. The cargo transfer system is actuatable by a relative movement between the first deck and the second deck to self-adjust for accommodating or countering the relative movement.
