A buoyant structure has a hull having a main deck, a lower inwardly-tapering frustoconical side section that extends from the main deck, a lower generally round section extending from the lower inwardly-tapering frustroconical side section, a keel having an n-polytope shape, a plurality of separate tunnels between columns extending from the keel having an n-polytope shape and a fin-shaped appendage is secured to a lower and an outer portion of the hull. The at least one tunnel contains water at operational depth of the buoyant structure.

A floating offshore wind turbine integrated with a steel fish farming cage mainly includes a wind turbine, a wind turbine tower, a living quarter, a floating wind turbine foundation in a conic steel structure, a mooring system, a lateral net encircling the floating wind turbine foundation, a bottom net, and lifting systems. The upper end of the wind turbine tower hosts a wind turbine, and the lower end of the wind turbine tower is fixed on the floating wind turbine foundation. In the present invention, the inner space of the floating wind turbine foundation is used to form a huge farming cage, which functions for the objectives of power exploitation on the top and fish farming at the bottom. The foundation has excellent stability and seakeeping performance, and is applicable to deep waters.

A reverse osmosis water production apparatus for use in a body of water includes a first section defining a buoyancy chamber and an elongate second section connected to the first section and configured to define an elongate chamber which extends downward beneath a waterline in use. The elongate chamber is provided with a plurality of elongate reverse osmosis membrane tubes, each tube containing a reverse osmosis membrane. A longitudinal axis of each reverse osmosis membrane tube is substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the elongate chamber and the reverse osmosis membrane tubes are arranged around a passage.

An LNG production plant and a method of constructing the LNG production plant is disclosed. The LNG production plant includes at least one plant module and a support structure to support the plant module. Each plant module is dry transported by a heavy lift vessel and subsequently transferred to the support structure without lifting the plant module from a deck of the vessel. The support structure includes a landing substructure onto which the plant module is transferred from the vessel. Landing substructure may be onshore or offshore. The support structure may also include one or more onshore support substructures and a transfer path enabling a plant module to be moved from the landing substructure to a corresponding onshore support substructure.

The present disclosure relates to an unmanned floating production unit (300) and method of installing a floating production unit comprising a deck structure (301) for mounting equipment for processing hydrocarbons, and a hull structure (302) formed from a first section (303) and a second section (306), wherein the second section (306) is wider than the first section (303). The floating production unit (300) according to the present disclosure can provide a compact unit, which has dimensions which can lead to a heave natural period outside an area of significant wave energy, and as a result, it has substantially reduced and improved hydrodynamic responses. The floating production unit is configured to be small and lightweight, and can be fabricated, launched and towed to the installation site in two parts, without the requirement for heavy lifting or construction machinery, thus lowering manufacturing costs. In addition, the two parts of the floating production unit can be joined together at the installation site using a buoyancy and ballasting based technique. The floating production unit is designed to be unmanned during routine production operations, thus ensuring operating costs are low.

The present invention relates to a semi-submersible offshore structure. More particularly, the invention relates to a low motion semi-submersible offshore structure that has improved stability in deep water. The low motion semi-submersible experiences relatively lesser heave, pitch and wave motions compared to conventional semi-submersibles when the semi-submersible is operating in harsh offshore environments.

An offshore drilling vessel includes a floating hull having a moonpool, a drilling tower positioned on the hull at or near the moonpool, a tubular string main hoisting device including a main hoisting winch and main cable connected to the main hoisting winch, a crown block mounted on the drilling tower, a travelling block suspended from the crown block in a multiple fall arrangement of the main cable, a mobile working deck and an integrated heave compensation system including a main cable heave compensation sheave in a path of the main cable between the main hoisting winch and the travelling block, a hydraulic sheave compensator connected to the main cable heave compensation sheave to provide a heave compensated motion of the travelling block, and a hydraulic deck compensator connected to the hull and to the mobile working deck to provide a heave compensated motion of the working deck relative to the hull within the heave compensation motion range.

A computing apparatus that is integrated within a flotation module, the system obtaining the energy required to power its computing operations from waves that travel across the surface of a body of water on which the flotation module sets. Additionally, the self-powered computing apparatus employs novel designs to utilize its close proximity to the body of water and/or to strong ocean winds to significantly lower the cost and complexity of cooling their computing circuits.

A floating and mobile carrying platform device, including: a load-bearing deck trunk including an upper surface and a lower surface; a semi-submersible tower disposed on the upper surface of the load-bearing deck trunk; a column-type buoyancy pier connected to the lower surface of the load-bearing deck trunk; rest piers disposed on the upper surface of the load-bearing deck trunk; a console disposed in the semi-submersible tower; a slideway disposed on the upper surface of the load-bearing deck trunk; and a connection member disposed between the load-bearing deck trunk and the semi-submersible tower. The load-bearing deck trunk adopts a box structure, and the box structure includes a top plate, a bottom plate, side plates, a plurality of cross rib plates, and vent holes. The plurality of cross rib plates is disposed between the top plate and the bottom plate to support the top plate.
