A liquid loading assembly for filling a ship-hold or tank with a volatile liquid, includes an oil supply conduit, fluidly connected to the tank, the outlet end of said conduit extending vertically within a dropline. The dropline extends from a lower dropline end positioned below the outlet end of the oil supply conduit to an upper dropline end positioned above the outlet end of the oil supply conduit, the lower dropline end being at least partially closed by a valve. The valve is arranged to open gradually up to a maximum aperture in response to one of i) increased pressure on the valve and ii) a level of liquid above the valve.

A transfer system for transferring a medium between a first facility and a second facility includes a first pipe spool; a compensator; a second pipe spool; a coupling assembly; a transfer skid; and one or more pipe supports. A first end of the first pipe spool is connectable to a manifold provided on a first deck of the first facility and a second end of the first pipe spool is connected to a first end of a compensator. A first end of the second pipe spool is connected to a second end of the compensator and a second end of the second pipe spool is connectable to a first end of a transfer pipe through the coupling assembly. The compensator is configured to allow a relative motion between the first pipe spool and the second pipe spool. The transfer pipe is fluidly connectable with the second facility. The transfer skid comprises an inboard assembly and an outboard assembly. The inboard assembly is mountable to a second deck of the first facility by one or more mounts. The outboard assembly includes a structural frame and one or more pipe supports. The structural frame includes an inner cross-sectional area configured to allow passage of one or more of the second pipe spool, the coupling assembly, and the transfer pipe. The one or more pipe supports support the second pipe spool, the coupling assembly, the transfer pipe, or a combination thereof passing through the inner cross-sectional area of the transfer skid.

A system and method by which energy from ocean waves is converted into hydrogen, and that hydrogen is used to manifest electrical and mechanical energies by an energy consuming device. A portion of the generated electrical power is communicated to water electrolyzers which produce oxygen and hydrogen from water as gases. At least a portion of the generated hydrogen gas is transferred to a transportation ship via a hose-carrying, remotely operated (or otherwise unmanned) vehicle, and subsequently transferred to an energy-consuming module or infrastructure, where a portion of the hydrogen is consumed in order to manifest a generation of electrical energy, a mechanical motion, and/or a chemical reaction.
