Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for controlling the trim of a transport ship without seawater ballast (1), having a width considered along a transverse axis (y′y) of the ship (1), said ship (1) having an unladen weight Pv between 20% and 60% inclusive of its total weight PT, allowing for a given maximum load weight capacity PTC, in accordance with the formula: PT=Pv+PTC at least one first and one second closed liquid tank (3′ or 3″) not communicating with the sea, the total weight PRT of which when entirely filled with a liquid of specific gravity equal to 1 represents between 2% and 8%, preferably between 3% and 6%, of said unladen weight PV, said tanks (3′, 3″) being in communication via at least one line to transfer liquid from one to the other and being at a distance d from one another, considering the respective geometric center of each of said tanks (3′, 3″), at least equal to 1/2 when the tanks (3′, 3″) are positioned facing one another essentially along the transverse axis (y′y): d≥1/2.

Abstract: A securing device for securing a pipe in a housing, which has a cylindrical collar, at least three securing arms, each securing arm containing a proximal arm portion mounted on the cylindrical collar, a distal arm portion bearing a bearing pad, the bearing pad containing a bearing surface facing away from the collar and intended to collaborate with a wall of the housing in which at least one of the securing arms contains a guideway capable of translationally guiding the distal arm portion with respect to the proximal arm portion, an elastic member being coupled to the guideway so as to be able to apply a return force that pushes the distal arm portion away from the proximal arm portion.
