In the first position (7) of the arm (3), the cover part at least partially covers the plug part (4), and in the second position (8) of the arm (3), the cover part exposes the plug part (4) for connection to the energy supply line (5) of the consumer.

A cable feeding unit for a shore cable management system, wherein the cable feeding unit has two or more sets of cable reeling means with a motor, a shaft connected to the motor, one or more sets of rollers arranged on the shaft and transmission means connecting the rollers of the one or more sets of rollers on the shafts.

A submarine device includes a drive voltage generation unit, a detection unit, and a control unit. The drive voltage generation unit generates voltages for driving connected loads according to current flows. The detection unit detects whether or not each of the loads is connected to the submarine device. The control unit performs control such that currents flow or do not flow in the drive voltage generation unit according to a detection result of the detection unit. The drive voltage generation units are provided in association with the loads, respectively. Depending on a result detected by the detection unit as to whether or not each load is connected, the control unit performs control in such a way that the current flows or does not flow through each drive voltage generation unit associated with each load.

The present invention relates to a high voltage shore connection (HVSC) system (1) for connection of a vessel (1004) in port to electrical supply from the shore-side. The system (1) comprises a first intake (5004) comprising at least one first connecting element (3) and a second intake (5004) comprising at least one second connecting element (3), the second intake (5004) being in electrical connection with the first intake (5004). The least one first connecting element (3) and the at least one second connecting element (3) are connectable to a power supply element (4) for supplying onshore electricity. The system (1) further comprises a safety circuit element being in electrical connection with the first intake (5004) and the second intake (5004). The system (1) further comprises at least one protecting element (7) being connectable to the at least one first connecting element (3) or the at least one second connecting element (3), whichever connecting element (3, 3) not being connected to the power supply element (4). The at least one protecting element (7) comprises a safety loop being electrically connectable to the safety circuit element.

A system for providing marine shore power to a vessel regardless of the configuration of the shore power source or the configuration of any socket installed on the shore power source is disclosed. A vessel plug, which is intended to be installed on a vessel's shore power cable, has a male adapter component which accepts a plurality of adapters. The plurality of adapter each have a female socket component and a male adapter component. The male plug component of the vessel plug is compatible with and plugs into the female socket component of each of the plurality of adapters. Each of the male adapter components of the plurality of components are each configured differently so as to enable a vessel to connect to a shore power source regardless of the configuration of the shore power source or the configuration of any socket installed on the shore power source.

A docking arrangement for docking a vessel to a pier, including docking members for mechanical docking of the vessel to the pier, and electric connectors for transmission of electric energy during docking of the vessel to the pier. The electric connectors of the vessel and the pier are positioned such that they align to each other during mechanical docking of the vessel to the pier.

An electrical connection assembly between a movable object and a fixed installation, the assembly including the following elements of substantially cylindrical shape, centered around a vertical axis and going downwards: a windlass using a chain to move a rod along the axis; an outlet receiving a plurality of connections and provided with a hawse pipe in which the rod can engage with small clearance; a connector provided with a top endplate receiving, facing the connections of the outlet, the complementary connections; a turnable lid protecting the connections; a guide and locking system for guiding and locking the rod; and having its bottom portion of conical shape; a rod passing downwards in succession through the hawse pipe of the outlet, then the lid, in order to reach a locking system for locking with the connector; and a basket of funnel-shape, with its large opening upwards, its shape being complementary to the bottom portion of the connector, and centering the connector on the axis.

A mooring buoy (100) for a vessel (402) comprises a floating body (102) and at least one anchoring line (108, 110, 112) connected between the floating body and the sea floor (200). At least one mooring line (126) and electric cable (118) are arranged to be coupled between the mooring buoy and the vessel. At least one mooring buoy circuit switch (508) is electrically connected to the at least one electric cable and configured to deenergise power to the at least one electric cable. A controller (500) has a processing unit and is arranged to selectively control the at least one mooring buoy circuit switch. The controller is configured to actuate the mooring buoy circuit switch in response to a received condition signal from at least one sensor and deenergise the at least one electric cable.

A device (1) is configured to supply a consumer, the position of which initially cannot be exactly determined but later can be substantially stationarily fixed, with energy from a stationary supplier. The device includes a movable carriage or slide (2) connected to an arm (3). The arm (3) is movable between first and second positions (7, 8) and includes at least one plug part (4) for connection to a consumer's energy supply line (5). The plug part (4) is connected to the supplier with an energy supply line (6). A cover part (9), which is movable with the movement of the arm, is arranged on the arm (3). In the arm's first position (7), the cover part at least partially covers the plug part (4), and in the arm's second position (8), the cover part exposes the plug part (4) for connection to the consumer's energy supply line (5).
