A hull-mounted installation conversion method in which some or all of first-use units placed on a hull and constituting a first-use installation are removed from the hull, and then second-use units are placed on the hull to construct a second-use installation. For example, the first-use units are medical units, and the first-use installation is a medical installation. Alternatively, the second-use units are medical units, and the second-use installation is a medical installation.

A buoyant element includes an elongate buoyant body that defines: (i) a major side; (ii) a minor side that is parallel to the major side; (iii) axial ends connecting the major and minor sides at an angle of substantially 45° from the orthogonal spanning the major and minor sides; and (iv) means for connecting adjacent buoyant elements together. The length of the major side is twice the length of the minor side.

A floating unit capable of attaching to another floating unit by locks for assembling a floating structure according to this invention comprises a floating body being in the form of a hollow polygonal shape as viewed from a plan view. The floating body comprises an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of lateral surfaces connected to said upper and lower surfaces. Said upper surface and said lower surfaces of the floating body comprise at least one upper engaging surface and at least one lower engaging surface respectively on each associated side of said polygonal floating body, wherein the upper and lower engaging surfaces are respectively adapted in order to be fitted with a locking surface of said lock, therefore, said floating body can be attached to a floating body of another floating unit.

Provided is a floating type solar power generation equipment stage (10) device, comprising a carrier (1) and a plurality of floating collars (2). The carrier (1) is made of a hard material, and has an outer frame portion (11) in a horizontal direction and a link bar (12) disposed at the center of the outer frame portion (11). Further, the outer frame portion (11) is vertically disposed with a plurality of straight strip-shaped bonding columns (13) downwards, and an adjustment portion (14) for adjusting the buoyancy of the stage is disposed on the carrier (1). Each of the plurality of floating collars (2) is a buoyant hollow ring, and its center has a sleeve hole (114) into which the bonding column (13) can be inserted so that the floating collars (2) can be arranged vertically up and down on the bonding column (13), and the stage (10) can be floated on the water with vertical buoyancy. Moreover, there is a water flow spacing between the vertically arranged floating collars (2), thereby having better floating stability and maintaining ecological functions.
