The present invention relates to a vessel (200, 300, 400, 600) comprising: a cargo transloading system, comprising: a crane (210, 310, 410, 610) supporting a cargo handling device (318, 418), and a counterweight arrangement (450, 550). The cargo handling device (318, 418) being rotatable about a vertical axis of rotation arranged with a first fixed offset in a first side direction with regard to a first vertical plane coinciding with a longitudinal centre axis (CA) of the vessel (200, 300, 400, 600). The counterweight arrangement (450, 550) comprising a weight (452, 552, 652) which is movable such that the mass centre (554) of the weight (452, 552, 652) is laterally displaceable between a first end position (556, 656) in which the mass centre (554) is arranged in the vicinity of the first vertical plane and a second end position (558, 658) in which the mass centre (554) is arranged with a second offset in a second side direction opposite to the first side direction with regard to the first vertical plane. The counterweight arrangement (450, 550) being arranged to move the weight (452, 552, 652) while the cargo handling device (318, 418) is rotated about the axis of rotation as a function of the rotation angle (a). The present invention also relates to a corresponding method and a use of the vessel (200, 300, 400, 600).

A method and apparatus for disposing of drill cuttings 500 from an oil and/or gas well drilling platform 510, comprising (a) transporting the drill cuttings 520 to a cuttings collection area 530 on the platform 510; (b) providing a barge 10, the barge 10 having at least one storage area 30, a cover 100 operably connected to the at least one storage area 30, and covering the at least one storage area 30; (c) placing the cover 100 in a first open state so that cuttings 500 can be placed in the at least one storage area 30; (d) transporting the drill cuttings 500 from the cuttings collection area 530 to the at least one storage area of the barge10; (e) placing the cover 100 in a closed state so that the cuttings 520 in the storage area 30 of the barge 10 are contained; (f) transporting the barge 10 from the drilling platform 510 to a collection site 540; (g) placing the cover 100 in a second open state so that the cuttings 520 in the storage area 30 can be removed; and (h) removing the cuttings 520 from the storage area 30.

Multivesicular liposomes are prepared at commercial scales by combining a first w/o emulsion with a second aqueous solution to form a w/o/w emulsion using a static mixer. Solvent is removed from the resulting emulsion to form multivesicular liposome-containing compositions. Further optional process steps include primary filtration and secondary cross-flow filtration. The products produced according to the processes of the invention can be produced through a series of aseptic steps.

The present invention relates to a ship unloader anti-collision system based on PLC control, including: a plurality of photoelectric limit sensors, evenly spaced in a terminal area to divide the terminal area into a plurality of zones; an absolute encoder installed on a carriage part of a ship unloader to collect a forward distance of carriage traveling wheels; a reflector installed on a hull to trigger the photoelectric limit sensors; and a control unit configured to determine an alarm zone requiring anti-collision according to incoming ship information in the terminal area; and during movement of the ship unloader, receive the limit signals transmitted by each photoelectric limit sensor, calibrate the distance information generated by the absolute encoder, determine a position of the ship unloader, and real-time judge whether the position of the ship unloader reaches the alarm zone, and generate a collision alarm signal if reaching the alarm zone.
