    摘要: Described herein are systems, methods, and structures for transferring an object between a ship and an offshore structure, comprising a hoisting mechanism arranged on the offshore structure and adapted to attach to the object, at least one range sensing device adapted to provide data relating to a detected distance from a reference point on the offshore structure to the ship, where the system is adapted to receive the data from the at least one range sensing device and to move the hoisting cable in response to the detected distance, and a motion reference unit adapted to provide data relating to a detected motion of the ship independently of the at least one range sensing device, and wherein the system is adapted to move the hoisting cable in response to the detected motion of the ship.

    摘要: A launch and recovery system is presented, the system includes a launch system with an A-frame crane operable to lower an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) from the deck level of a ship to the sea level below the deck level. The system further includes a recovery system configured to collect the AUV from just below or at the sea level, the recovery system includes a weight-bearing lifting crane, one or more stabilizing arms, and a funnel. Additionally, the system includes a recovery pad and trolley system configured to receive the AUV from the recovery system, and a rail system with a network of rails configured to accept a trolley with the AUV from the recovery pad and trolley system.

    摘要: A transom lift for boats that can be used for loading and transporting objects such as a dinghy or large coolers. The transom lift has generally parallel and vertical members that fit inside of generally vertical and parallel sides of transom mount ladders. Hooks extend from the generally parallel, spaced apart, elongated, and vertical members, and are constructed and arranged to fit over steps of the transom mount ladder. A supported planar member or platform extends from a lower portion of the generally vertical, spaced apart, elongated, and parallel members. The transom lift is raised and lowered by pulling on an upper end of the transom lift using the transom mount ladder as a guide for vertical movement of the transom lift. The hooks position and hold the planar member or platform in the desired vertical position, either above or below the water line.

    摘要: A device for recovering a vessel at sea from a surface station, the recovery device includes a cradle intended to support the vessel, a lifting device comprising an upper frame and a set of hangers connecting the cradle to the upper frame, lengths of the hangers being variable so as to make it possible to hoist and lower the cradle, a first stabilizing hanger and a second stabilizing hanger being able to be in a stabilizing configuration wherein the first stabilizing hanger and the second stabilizing hanger are under tension and extend linearly, and wherein a first orthogonal projection of the first stabilizing hanger on a transverse plane (y, z) defined by an axis z, which is linked to the upper frame and extends substantially vertically in calm seas, and by an axis y orthogonal to the axis z, and a second orthogonal projection of the second stabilizing hanger on the transverse plane are inclined with respect to one another so as to make it possible to limit swaying of the cradle with respect to the upper frame.

    摘要: A system for lifting loads from a mobile offshore platform includes a boom pivotally at one longitudinal end mounted to the platform. A boom extension line is coupled at one end to the boom to cause rotational movement thereof about the pivotally mounted end of the boom. Another end of the boom extension line is either (i) coupled to a movable subplatform on the platform or (ii) supported by a device coupled to the movable subplatform. Movement of the subplatform causes change in effective length of the boom extension line so as to move the boom between an extended position and a retracted position.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for recovering watercraft. A ramp is movable relative to a stationary carrying apparatus between a recovering position and a parked position. The ramp includes a frame and a deformable body, which is fastened to the frame. When the ramp is in the recovering position, the deformable body points toward the watercraft to be recovered and is located at least partially above the water surface. The watercraft travels onto the ramp and deforms the deformable body from above. The watercraft is pulled out of the water and moved onto the carrying apparatus.

    摘要: A system for underwater material placement and release is provided that includes a frame and a plurality of quick release couplings. The quick release couplings can depend from the frame in a two dimensional array. The plurality of quick release couplings can be configured to be releasably coupled to a concrete mat and remotely released therefrom via a control system. A method for placing concrete mats includes provision of the system having a frame and a plurality of quick release couplings. A lifting device can be provided. The system can be connected to the lifting device. A concrete mat can be connected to the quick release couplings of the system. The frame can be lowered to a predetermined depth where the concrete mat is adjacent to a floor of a body of water. The concrete mat can be released from the quick release couplings.

    摘要: The invention discloses an automatic maintenance apparatus for cleanliness of river surface, which includes a processing device housing. The processing device housing is provided with a working chamber, and the working chamber is provided with a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism can collect garbage on the river surface. In this device, the garbage collected is simply sorted. A conveying mechanism is provided on the right side of the lifting mechanism, and a storage mechanism is provided on the lower side of the conveying mechanism. The storage mechanism includes the trapezoidal block. The storage frame between the right end surface and the right end wall of the working cavity. When there is too much waterweed in the storage frame, the device will stop working. The device is easy to operate, and the two devices are fixed at a certain position on both sides of the hull. Then, turn on the motor and start the boat.
