A vessel with three platformsan outer hull, an inner deck hull and a passenger carriage, having four independent suspension systems there between so as to accommodate for the multi axis movements of the outer hull. This multi axis suspension system spread between the three platforms will offer the passenger carriage stability against the pitch, yaw and roll rotations a vessel makes as it twists and turns going up and down the slope of a wave as well as the heave, sway and surge movements induced by the waves pushing the vessel around and or the ship sliding down the face of a wave.

A personal watercraft auto-return system includes a user device having a rider location determination unit, a user interface, and a communication unit. The system also includes an autopilot unit that is positioned within a personal watercraft. The autopilot unit including a steering unit for controlling the steering the watercraft, and a controller having a processor and memory for controlling the engine and throttle controls of the watercraft. The controller selectively activates the steering unit, engine, and throttle of the personal watercraft to navigate to the location of the user device upon receiving a request from the user interface.

A bulwark terrace with integrated door is provided; the bulwark terrace may be a portion of a bulwark on a ship or yacht that is hinged so as to be able to fold outwards and downwards and be flush with the deck after doing so, thereby extending the deck surface. The bulwark terrace may also include a door that may open independently of the bulwark terrace to allow boarding of the yacht or ship through the bulwark without deploying the bulwark terrace.

The invention relates to a marine surface vessel (1), in particular a passenger ship, extending in a longitudinal direction between a bow (2) and a stern (3), comprising least one power providing apparatus (6) operatively connected to at least one propulsion unit (7) for propulsion of the vessel, a fuel tank arrangement (8) for storing gaseous fuel in a liquid phase, connected to the power providing apparatus (6) by means of a gas supply system for running the power providing apparatus (6), and a plurality of decks (91-98) distributed vertically, one above the other, the fuel tank arrangement (8) comprising two tank sub-arrangements (81, 82), each tank sub-arrangement comprising at least one gaseous fuel tank (811, 812, 821, 822), each fuel tank extending vertically past at least two of the decks (92-95), and at least two of the decks (92-95), past which the fuel tanks (811, 812, 821, 822) extend, each presents a passageway (941) extending between the tank sub-arrangements (81, 82).

A failure prediction system having small boats operable by operators, each mounted with an outboard motor equipped with an engine and an Electronic Control Unit and a computer located in a land office connected to the ECU. The ECU acquires boat ID assigned to one small boat on which one operator boards and his personal ID, accesses the computer to acquire past manipulation data of the acquired personal ID for all boats, acquires manipulation data of the one operator during current run, merge the data with past data to generate merged data. Then, it select a parameter in the generated data and set a normal value range by the parameter, assesses whether parameter in the data during current run is within the range, and determines the outboard motor mounted on the one boat is in failure when the parameter is out of the range.

System (100) and method for controlling information representative of the use by one or more users of one or more habitable locations (101) of a ship (1), comprising: a plurality of habitable locations (101), each habitable location comprising a plurality of electrical and/or electronic components (102) controllable during the use of the habitable location by a user; a plurality of local control units (103), each local control unit (103) of said plurality being operatively associated with at least one portion of habitable locations (101) of the plurality of habitable locations (101) of the ship (1), each local control unit (103) being configured to control said at least one portion of habitable locations (101) to which it is operatively connected; a central control unit (104); a data communication network (105), each local control unit (103) of said plurality being operatively associated with the central control unit (104) via the data communication network (105). Each local control unit (103) is configured to detect from said plurality of electrical and/or electronic components (102) and to provide the central control unit (104) with information representative of the use by a user of said at least one portion of habitable locations (101) of the plurality of habitable locations (101) of the ship (1). The central control unit (104) is configured to store said information representative of the use by a user of said at least one portion of habitable locations (101) of the plurality of habitable locations (101) of the ship (1) received from each local control unit (103) associated with said at least one portion of habitable locations (101) of the plurality of habitable locations (101) of the ship (1). The central control unit (104) is also configured to generate information representative of the status of said at least one portion of habitable locations (101) of the plurality of habitable locations (101) on the basis of information representative of the use by a user of said at least one portion of habitable locations (101) of the plurality of habitable locations (101) of the ship (1).

A boat hull protection system to prevent structural and cosmetic damage to vessels and prevent them from sinking. The system includes inflatable members inflated using pneumatics such as compressed air that can be selectively inflated by a user along the stern, starboard or port sides, or bow of a given vessel. The inflatable members are inflated using a plurality of inflatable compartments housed within the inflatable members thereby allowing the system to continue being effective in light of a failure to a portion of the inflatable member.
