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.

A gas supply marine vessel and a refueling facility are described. The gas supply marine vessel includes a hull with an upper deck having an elongated cargo cavity formed therein. Gas interface modules are disposed in the cavity and extend between hull sides, each module having a plurality of fuel vessel docking stations. A plurality of stacked fuel container assemblies are fluidically coupled to the docking stations. A gantry, is movable along the length of the cavity, straddles the cargo cavity between hull sides. An articulating crane is mounted on the gantry and it utilized to move fuel container assemblies to a fuel container depression formed in the deck of a floating refueling facility. The floating refueling facility includes a concave side to facilitate mooring adjacent a shoreline, the concave side forming angled extensions at corners of the deck with a linkspan extending from each of the angled extensions.

The invention is defined as a cargo articulated mechanism complete design, fastened to a personal watercraft rear deck. It functions as a support for lading multiple cargo accessories and incorporates a rotating structure that allows unobstructed access to get on or off the personal watercraft through the rear deck. An incorporated locking mechanism functions as an automatic swing lock that also allows quick release by the user either from the water level or from the rider seat of the personal watercraft.

This invention allows to lade different accessories such as baskets, racks, coolers, supplies, equipment, boxes, and seats.

This invention is designed for all personal watercraft users, including those with mobility restrictions that have restricted access to the personal watercraft when obstructed by a fixed cargo rack fastened on the rear deck.

Described is a vessel and device for upending an elongate element from a deck of the vessel using a lifting means. A number of support structures, mutually coupled and running parallel to each other, for supporting an elongate element in lying position can be displaced collectively, parallel to the deck, relative to the position of the lifting means by displacing means provided for this purpose. A support structure of the device includes an upending tool which is connected for pivoting around an axis running parallel to an edge of the vessel to the relevant support structure and is configured to support an elongate element received in the support structure when this element is upended with the lifting means, wherein the upending tool is rotated around the axis. With the device elongate elements can be moved within reach of a lifting means.

A lashing system is usable on cargo ships that are transporting shipping containers, optionally as a supplement to standard lashing bridges provided on cargo ships. The lashing system includes a support that can interface with the pre-existing interlocking system provided on the shipping containers. The support can be lifted and placed on a stack of shipping containers using the same cranes used for loading and unloading shipping containers. The lashing system includes lashings that are attached to the support and are releasably connectable to another shipping container or to a structure of the cargo ship. The tension in the lashings is preferably monitored during the trips of the cargo ships.
