A barge lid lifter system having a frame, a plurality of vertical beams adjustably mounted to the frame, a plurality of cross bracing beams, and a plurality of load engagement mechanisms mounted to the vertical beams. Each load engagement mechanism may include a frame including a dagger plate, and a linear actuator configured to position an arm is configured an arm over a dagger point to retain a lifting assembly of a barge lid. The brackets of the vertical beams are configured to mount onto plates disposed on the frame such that the position of the load engagement mechanisms can be adjusted to fit barge lids of varying lengths and widths.

A barge lid lifter system having a horizontal frame, a plurality of vertical beams, a plurality of cross bracing beams, and a plurality of load engagement mechanisms is provided. Each load engagement mechanism may include a frame, wherein each load engagement mechanism frame may have a first side plate, a second side plate, a top plate, a dagger plate, a horizontal pivot pin, and a horizontal pivot pin sleeve. The load engagement mechanism includes a linear actuator, a rotation plate, a rotation elbow, an arm, and a dagger point. The linear actuator is connected to the first side plate and the rotation elbow, and the rotation plate is connected to the rotation elbow and the arm. The arm is configured to close over the dagger point and retain a lifting eye of a barge lid lifting assembly.

A moonpool work table able to provide an opening to a moonpool including a first set of opposing table doors having opposing vertical faces and moveable between an open position and one or more closed positions, and a second set of opposing table doors moveable between an open position and one or more closed positions in a transverse direction to that of the first set of table doors. In this way, the first and second set of table doors are able to define a box that can more closely and tightly define the area or envelope through which a conduit or the like can pass.

A hatch power lift and locking system may include a hatch configured to cover an opening, the hatch being pivotable about an axis between a closed position and an open position. The assembly may also include at least one latch dog attached to the hatch, and at least one dog catch pin engaging with the at least one latch dog in the closed position. The at least one latch dog may include a latch slot for receiving the at least one dog catch pin, and a latch catch for engaging the at least one dog catch pin. The assembly may further include an actuator configured to move at least a portion of the hatch between the closed position and the open position.

Provided is a locking apparatus for a damping device of a moonpool, which can automatically lock and unlock an opened state of the damping device of the moonpool. The locking apparatus includes: one or more first locking members installed in a sidewall of the moonpool; one or more second locking members installed in a side of the damping device; and a holding unit separably holding the first locking members and the second locking members when the damping devices are in the opened state.
