A throwing protection apparatus for an adaptive navigation situation awareness device based on ship pilotage comprises: a connecting apparatus, a landing buffer apparatus, a fixing apparatus, a pressing apparatus, a shell and a control apparatus; wherein a bottom of the shell is provided with an opening for the adaptive navigation situation awareness device to pass through; one end of the connecting apparatus is fixedly connected to an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the other end of the connecting apparatus is slidably connected to the shell; the adaptive navigation situation awareness device is arranged in the shell and is fixed by the fixing apparatus arranged on the shell; the pressing apparatus is mounted on the shell and is positioned above the adaptive navigation situation awareness device; the landing buffer apparatus is mounted outside the shell; and an air bag and a distance measuring sensor are fixedly mounted on the shell.

A method and apparatus for assembling floating offshore wind vessels is described. The method manufactures the floating offshore wind vessels at an intermediate offshore location. Sub-components of the floating offshore wind vessels are transported to a first offshore location before being assembled into a completed offshore wind vessel. The completed offshore wind vessel is transported to a second offshore location which is part of a wind field. The sub-components are assembled on a semi-submersible vessel, such as a floating dry dock.

A hydrofoil system for a hydrofoil equipped watercraft with cooperating fuselage portion that have tapered sections. The tapered sections are configured to form an overlapping stacked wedge within an inner passageway of a collar so that the collar frictionally engages the stacked tapered sections when the first fuselage portion and the second fuselage portion are drawn together longitudinally.

The present invention provides an apparatus, method and system for utilizing commercial cargo containers. The present invention utilizes containers made autonomous by coupling a container with a detachable propulsion system, having a motor and navigation and steering controls, permitting the rapid, controlled, efficient and safe delivery of cargo containers individually by water. Ballast units, deployment systems and control via remote units are also disclosed. The containers, utilizing their inherent buoyancy, can move autonomously according to a preplanned or remote controlled route to a specific location.
