Cargo vessel lid lifting system
An apparatus including a base, a guide arm pivotable relative to the base, the guide arm movable between a raised position and a lowered position. A tension linkage having a distal end extending away from the base, the tension linkage supported by the guide arm when the arm is in the raised position. A tension linkage guide disposed on the guide arm, the tension linkage guide movable along the tension linkage as the guide arm moves between raised and lowered positions. A lid hook connected to the distal end of the tension linkage. When the lid hook is engaged with a cargo vessel lid, the tension linkage forms a first tension angle and a second tension angle when the guide arm is in the raised position and the lowered position respectively, the second tension angle being less than the first tension angle.

CASING LIFTING SYSTEM
A casing lifting system includes a spreader bar, a first lifting cap, and a second lifting cap. The first lifting cap is configured to engage a first end of a first section of drilling casing, and the first lifting cap includes a first lifting lug. The second lifting cap is configured to engage a second end of the first section of drilling casing opposite the first end of the first section of drilling casing, and the second lifting cap includes a second lifting lug. In some embodiments, each of the first and second lifting caps are configured for coupling adjacent to opposing lateral ends of the spreader bar by respective first and second elastic stabilizers coupled between the first and second lifting lugs and first attachment points adjacent to the opposing lateral ends of the spreader bar.
