Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vessel (200, 300, 400, 600) comprising: a cargo transloading system, comprising: a crane (210, 310, 410, 610) supporting a cargo handling device (318, 418), and a counterweight arrangement (450, 550). The cargo handling device (318, 418) being rotatable about a vertical axis of rotation arranged with a first fixed offset in a first side direction with regard to a first vertical plane coinciding with a longitudinal centre axis (CA) of the vessel (200, 300, 400, 600). The counterweight arrangement (450, 550) comprising a weight (452, 552, 652) which is movable such that the mass centre (554) of the weight (452, 552, 652) is laterally displaceable between a first end position (556, 656) in which the mass centre (554) is arranged in the vicinity of the first vertical plane and a second end position (558, 658) in which the mass centre (554) is arranged with a second offset in a second side direction opposite to the first side direction with regard to the first vertical plane. The counterweight arrangement (450, 550) being arranged to move the weight (452, 552, 652) while the cargo handling device (318, 418) is rotated about the axis of rotation as a function of the rotation angle (a). The present invention also relates to a corresponding method and a use of the vessel (200, 300, 400, 600).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a transfer system, ship and method for transferring persons and/or goods to and/or from a floating ship (102). The transfer system according to the invention comprises: - a pedestal (114); - an integrated gangway boom crane (104) connected to the pedestal; and - an actuator (122) acting between the pedestal (114) and the integrated gangway boom crane (104) configured for rotating the integrated gangway boom crane relative to the pedestal.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for transferring a load between a target position on board a vessel (40) and an outboard position outboard said vessel. The invention further concerns a motion compensation device (1) applying the method. In the method the load is being transferred by a crane (30) carried by a motion compensation device arranged on board the vessel. The motion compensation device comprises a carrier frame (2), a base (3) and an actuator system (8, 9)for moving the carrier frame with respect to the base; the base being fixed to the vessel and the crane being carried by the carrier frame. During picking up a load from the vessel or placing a load on the vessel, the actuator system is being driven in an on board mode such that the carrier frame is being compensated for x-axis rotational movement and y-axis rotational movement of the vessel, and follows, viewed in the vertical direction, the vertical movement of the target location. During picking up a load from the outboard position or placing a load on the outboard position, the actuator system is being driven in an outboard mode such that the carrier frame is being compensated for x-axis rotational movement, y-axis rotational movement and z-axis translational movement of the vessel.
Abstract:
Multivesicular liposomes are prepared at commercial scales by combining a first w/o emulsion with a second aqueous solution to form a w/o/w emulsion using a static mixer. Solvent is removed from the resulting emulsion to form multivesicular liposome-containing compositions. Further optional process steps include primary filtration and secondary cross-flow filtration. The products produced according to the processes of the invention can be produced through a series of aseptic steps.
