Abstract: A boat gate system for controlling vessel access to a port or similar waterbody has a number of connected, floating Port Security Barrier ("PSB") segments. A remote latching and unlatching mechanism, combined with a powered mover mounted on one or more PSB segments, permits remote unlatching of the PSB segments; moving the PSB segments to a desired location (whether rotating same about a point, or moving a longer section laterally) so as to open the PSB, then moving the PSBs back to a closed position and latching same. Both the unlatching, movement, and latching are remotely controlled. Positional indicators, for example Global Positioning Systems or similar systems, are provided to monitor and assist in controlling PSB segment movement and unlatching, and movement of the PSB segments in a desired direction to a desired location.

Abstract: A security barrier system for controlling boat access to a protected area includes a barrier having an opening through it for boat passage. The barrier may be a fixed structure such as an earthen berm, or may be a floating barrier. A pair of spaced-apart support members, fixed in the waterbottom, are on either side of the opening. A gate is connected to one of the support members and spans the opening. A remotely operable latch means locks the gate closed, preventing passage. In one embodiment, a boat remotely unlocks the gate and pushes the gate open, then flex members return the gate to a closed and locked position. In another embodiment, particularly for locations with significant water level changes, the gate moves vertically on floats in response to water level, and a remotely operable system both unlocks/locks the gate and moves it between closed and open po sitions.

Abstract: A vessel barrier system to prevent vessel movement through a passageway includes a flexible vessel barrier element coupled to one or more energy dissipating units. The vessel barrier element may be a single, typically large diameter element, for example a large diameter, high strength synthetic rope, or alternatively may be a barrier net suspended on a number of floats. The vessel barrier element is coupled by a cable to the energy dissipating unit(s), which may be large weights suspended from a frame. When a vessel contacts and moves the vessel barrier element, placing it in tension, the weights are moved from a first, lower position, to a second, elevated position. The kinetic energy of the vessel is transferred to an increase in the potential energy of the weights, and the vessel is brought to a stop. The system is particularly suitable for Large Displacement Vessels or LDVs.

Abstract: A system and method for offshore loading of large cargo vessels, or motherships. The system includes a plurality of mooring stations, which may be mooring buoys, positioned in an offshore mooring field proximal an onshore cargo loading facility. A mothership is positioned within the mooring field and moored via bow and stern lines to two or more different mooring stations. Environmental data, including wind, wave, and current data, as well as data regarding the physical characteristics of the mothership and movement (roll/pitch/heave) of the mothership are collected by remote transmitting and sensing devices. This data is processed by numerical analysis in a digital processor, namely a computer, to determine optimum mooring line length and tension, and mooring station locations, in order to minimize mother ship movement and create an optimum "lee" loading area adjacent the mothership. Cargo is transferred to the mothership by a trans-shipper moored to the mothership.
