Techniques involve utilizing a multi-track cargo handling assembly to guide individual cargo items in parallel tracks to an aft end of a deck of an amphibious air cushion vehicle when unloading from the aft end. Such a multi-track cargo handling assembly includes a framework constructed and arranged to couple with the deck of the amphibious air cushion vehicle, and a set of guide rails coupled with the framework. The set of guide rails defines the parallel tracks and is constructed and arranged to constrain movement of the cargo items along the parallel tracks.

The offshore jack-up has a hull and a plurality of moveable legs engageable with the seafloor. The offshore jack-up is arranged to move the legs with respect to the hull to position the hull out of the water. The method comprises securing the vessel with respect to the hull of the offshore jack-up when the hull is positioned out of the water and the legs engage the seafloor. A lifting mechanism mounted on the offshore jack-up engages with a cargo carrying platform positioned on the vessel. The platform is lifted with the lifting mechanism between a first position on the vessel and a second position clear of the vessel.

A lashing device includes: a base seat having a bottom wall, and two pivot lugs which cooperate with the bottom wall to define a pivot slot thereamong, and each of which is formed with an pivot hole communicating with the pivot slot; a pivot pin extending through the pivot hole of each of the pivot lugs; and an eye plate received in the pivot slot, and having a middle portion that is formed with a pivot hole provided for the pivot pin to movably extends therethrough, and first and second wing portions which are connected to opposite ends of the middle portion, respectively, and each of which has an elongated hole having an arc section. The arc axes of the arc sections of the elongated holes are aligned with the center axis of the pivot hole.

A monopile fastening system (1, 9, 17) for retaining one or more elongated monopile during sea transport and/or quay transport, the system comprising: —at least two supporting devices (3, 11, 18); —a supporting frame (2, 10, 23) for securing the at least two supporting devices to a surface of a vessel, barge or a sea transport unit, the at least two supporting devices having each at least one surface (6, 32) in contact with a surface (7, 33) of the supporting frame; wherein each of the at least two supporting devices comprises, at least two supporting elements (4, 5, 12, 13, 20, 24, 27), the supporting elements having each at least one surface (14, 15, 25, 26, 28, 29) in contact with each other; wherein the at least two supporting elements are connected with each other through one or more displacing means (16, 22, 30); and wherein the one or more displacing means are means for displacing the at least two supporting elements along the at least one surface in contact with each other.

A device for the transport and storage of fishing tackle having a base member shaped and dimensioned for selective attachment to a support surface. An upstanding tubular column extends from the base member. A cover member is provided, wherein the cover member is shaped and dimensioned for selectively covering the upstanding tubular column in a manner such that the cover member can be moved between a closed configuration wherein the upstanding tubular column is hidden under the cover member and an open configuration wherein the upstanding tubular column is exposed for access by an individual using the device.
