    摘要: A marine power conduit interface assembly has a slide slidable within a housing. Sliding of the slide in the housing locks the assembly in a socket of an energy generator. The slide has a leg extending axially within a groove formed in the inner surface of the bore of the housing, connected to a ring with a flange which extends radially outwards from an outer surface of the housing. The ring is connected to the leg by a radially inwardly extending finger passing through a slot in the housing. The lock can be activated and deactivated by sliding of the slide in the housing.

    摘要: A subsea line clamp assembly (1) has a body (10) having an axis and a clamp member (50), assembled in segments around a subsea line (3), and tethered to a subsea anchor (5). The clamp member (50) is movably located within the body (10). The inner surface of the body (10) and the outer surface of the clamp member (50) have respective tapered portions as part of teeth (32, 72) arranged to inter-engage. Adjacent teeth (32, 72) may be separated by axis-parallel portions. The clamping force on the subsea line (30) can be maintained at a consistent clamping force throughout the service life of the subsea line (3), despite the actions of creep and compression acting to reduce the outer diameter of the line (3).

    摘要: A quick release cable pull-in system for securing a conduit (28) in which is arranged a cable (38) to the mouth of a J-Tube (12) or other opening in a structure. The system includes a collar (30) with a groove (32) attached to the end of the conduit. A rotatable locking arm (20) releasably engages the collar when a tapered nose (34) cone is pulled into the J-Tube. The rotatable locking arm has a shoulder member (44) that is biased downward into the interior of the cylindrical opening. According to one aspect, the shoulder member is downwardly biased by an elastomeric collar (46. According to another aspect, the shoulder member is downwardly biased by a spring, by magnetic forces or other means.

    摘要: A generally cylindrical element 10 that is adapted for immersion in water is described. The generally cylindrical element 10 has an outer surface 11 that is in contact with the water in use. The outer surface 11 has at least two rows of repeating shapes 20, for example hexagons 20, provided on the surface 11, where each row of repeating shapes 20 is separated from the other or the adjacent row(s) by a groove arrangement 30. Each shape 20 within a row is separated from the, or each, adjacent shape 20 by at least one groove 30. This configuration of the surface 11 reduces Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) and/or drag that may act upon the generally cylindrical element 10 when it is immersed in a body of water.

    摘要: An apparatus (1) for restricting the bending of a tubular member underwater comprises a plurality of interlocking modules each formed from a first half shell component (2) circumferentially displaced from a second half-shell component (3), wherein the first half shell component comprises one or more projections (19) extending from a side edge (18) thereof and the second half shell component comprises one or more grooves (21) in a side edge (18) thereof, the projections and grooves being angled to the side edges of the first and second half shell components, the arrangement being such that when assembled together each of the one of more projections of the first half shell component are inter-engaged with a corresponding groove of the second half shell component to secure the two half shells together.
