ANTIFREEZE DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH A CAP ASSEMBLY
An antifreeze delivery system includes a container that defines a chamber for containing a volume of an antifreeze. The system further includes a conduit having an upstream end and a downstream end. The upstream end of the conduit is fluidly connected to the container to receive the volume of the antifreeze from the container. The system further includes a cap assembly that fluidly connects the downstream end of the conduit to an inlet opening defined by a top rim of a sea strainer. The cap assembly includes a lid having a planar wall with top and bottom surfaces. The lid defines a channel extending between the top and bottom surfaces and receiving the downstream end of the conduit. The system further includes one or more fasteners for attaching the lid to the sea strainer and sandwiching a seal between the lid and the top rim of the sea strainer.

Personal watercraft lift and transporting cart
The present invention is a personal watercraft lift and transporting cart. In particular, the present invention is directed to a lift that can lift and rotate a personal watercraft (PWC) so that repairs can be conducted more ergonomically. The lift preferably has two lifting arms attached to upright frame members. In turn, the upright frame members extend vertically from a mounting base. The lift also preferably has two actuators pivotally attached to the lifting arms at one end and attached to the mounting base at the other end. When the actuators extend, the lifting arms lift and rotate. The transporting cart preferably has a cart chassis, a hull bunk and two receivers, where the first and second receiver are spaced to allow insertion of the first and second lifting arms so that the cart can be lifted and rotated by the lift with PWC mounted on the cart.
MODULAR MOBILE DOCKING STATION FOR SUBSEA VEHICLES
Configurable, modular mobile docking station 1 is configured to accommodate one or more subsea assets selected from different types of subsea assets by changing the configuration of configurable, modular mobile docking station 1 to accommodate each subsea asset based on that subsea asset type. Data communications and power may be provided between the subsea assets and configurable, modular mobile docking station 1 and include data and control communications obtained from a remote control location.

Access support for offshore installations
A support structure (10) suitable for use as a support structure to an offshore platform (12), the support structure (10) comprising a main support strut (30) having a lower end and anchorable, in use, to the seabed (16) and an upper portion arranged, in use, to extend above sea level to a height substantially equal to, or greater than, that of the platform (12), the support strut (30) comprising a guide rail (62) extending upwardly from a level above the sea level (18) to the top of the support strut (30) for cooperating with a raising framework (90) slideably mountable to the guide rail (62), and further comprising drive means (98) cooperating between the raising framework (90) and the guide rail (62) for elevating the raising framework (90) relative to the support rail (62), the support structure (10) being characterized by: the support strut (30) and raising framework (90) each comprising tracks (70, 100) arranged to substantially align end-to-end when the raising framework (90) is elevated to the top of the support strut (30), the tracks (70, 100), when so aligned, forming a substantially continuous track for laterally transferring a payload (42) from the raising framework (90) to the top of the strut (30).

System and method for putting on hold boats afloat on a water body after they are launched and/or before they are hauled out
A system is proposed for putting boats on hold when they are afloat on a water body after they have been launched and/or before they are hauled out of the water. The system for putting on hold includes: a floating device, having a central floating element and secondary elements extending from the central floating element. Each secondary element being associated with a reception place and having at least one point for driving, by thrust or traction, a boat positioned in an associated reception place. A system for moving is adapted to moving the secondary elements around the central floating element and, via the points for driving, moving the boats that are positioned in the reception places.

Boat Handling Apparatus
A boat handling apparatus includes a carriage frame supported for rolling movement along a first horizontal track between a lifting position adjacent to a first end of the first track and a stored position adjacent to an opposing second end of the first track. A second upright track is fixed in proximity to the first end of the first track to depend downwardly from the first track. A cradle frame which is arranged to support a boat thereon is transferrable from a raised position supported on the carriage frame so as to be movable with the carriage frame between lifting and storage positions thereof, to a lowered position in which the cradle frame is movable up and down along the second track below the first horizontal track.
