A pontoon is provided, comprising a plurality of pontoons. The plurality of pontoons may include a port-side pontoon, a starboard-side pontoon spaced from the port-side pontoon, and at least one a middle pontoon positioned intermediate the port-side pontoon and the starboard-side pontoon. A deck may be coupled to each of the port-side pontoon, the starboard-side pontoon, and the at least one middle pontoon. A manifold system may be positioned within the middle pontoon, and the manifold system may comprise a first portion including a first fluid conduit having an inlet in fluid communication with an exterior of the middle pontoon. The manifold system may further comprise a second portion removably coupled to the first portion and having a second fluid conduit positioned to receive fluid from the first fluid conduit. The manifold system may still further comprise a third portion including a third fluid conduit positioned to receive fluid from the second fluid conduit and having an outlet in fluid communication with the exterior of the middle pontoon. The second portion may be removably coupled to the third portion. Further, a motor may be coupled to the manifold system.

A floating foundation includes a plurality of unit modules that can be fabricated in an efficient manner and then assembled, on shore or afloat near the deployment location. The floating foundation can be applied to various offshore energy systems, such as wind power generation, and in deployment locations with limited infrastructure.

There is provided a renewable power generation farm for fishing work, the farm comprising: a plurality of mutually connected floating ships, wherein each ship is configured to generate an energy using solar and wind power, wherein each ship comprises: a main elongate floating structure; a wind-based energy generation device secured to the main elongate floating structure; a transverse beam extending perpendicularly to a longitudinal direction of the main structure; a longitudinal beam extending in a parallel manner to the longitudinal direction of the main structure; connection beams connecting both opposing ends of the transverse beam and both opposing ends of the longitudinal beam respectively; auxiliary pillars vertically extending through the both ends of the transverse beam and the longitudinal beam respectively; solar-based energy generation devices disposed at top ends of the auxiliary pillars respectively; and auxiliary elongate floating structures disposed at bottom ends of the auxiliary pillars passing through the ends of the transverse beam.

A floating hydrocarbon processing/storage structure with a first and second assembly, each including a hull having side walls, one or more storage tanks and a deck structure, a connection structure interconnecting the hulls, processing equipment situated on the deck structures, at least one riser connected to a subsea hydrocarbon well and to the processing equipment and/or storage tanks, with a mooring system connecting the processing/storage structure to the sea bed, each hull including a hull deck structure bridging the side walls, the connection structure including a central deck extending at or near the height of the hull deck structures along at least 70% of the length of the hulls, the central deck supporting at least one of: risers vertically extending from the central deck between the hulls to the sea bed, fluid ducts horizontally supported on the central deck, and at least one drilling/work-over rig or crane.

This invention relates to a drilling tender unit. In particular, the invention relates to a drilling tender unit having a hull of trimaran or catamaran configuration.

The invention relates to a floating vessel comprising a hull, at least one seat, and two outriggers arranged laterally to the hull and connected directly or indirectly to the hull, wherein a drive unit, separately controllable in its drive output, and comprising a respective at least one propeller driven by a motor, in particular an electric motor, is assigned to each outrigger. A helm of the floating vessel is thereby connected to a proportional transducer, and a control signal from the proportional transducer is supplied to a control unit which directly or indirectly controls the motors in accordance with the control signal from the proportional transducer. Thus, a precisely controllable and yet easily disassemblable floating vessel is provided.

A pontoon boat is provided that includes a deck and a plurality of pontoons running longitudinally beneath the deck and providing buoyancy to the pontoon boat. The plurality of pontoons include a multi-chine configuration that increases the stability of the pontoon boat and provides handling characteristics similar to that of a hulled boat. The plurality of pontoons may include two outer pontoons and a third pontoon positioned laterally intermediate the outer pontoons. The third pontoon may include a plurality of chines, and each of the outer pontoons may include at least one chine. At least a portion of each of the at least one chines of the outer pontoons may be positioned vertically below the plurality of chines of the third pontoon. The chines on the third pontoon may extend longitudinally further than each of the at least one chines of the outer pontoons.

Floatable, torus-segment-like pontoon for a torus-like floating body constructed from a plurality of such pontoons, with a torus eye containing the torus axis of rotation. The pontoon comprises connecting means on substantially flat side surfaces, which are designed in such a way that adjacent pontoons can be joined in a positive-fitting manner in the axial direction; Receiving areas on the radially inner pontoon surfaces for receiving a component in the torus eye; Retaining means arranged on the radially outer pontoon surfaces for holding adjacent pontoons together in the torus circumferential direction and in the radial direction; and connecting means configured on one of the side surfaces as at least one groove extending in the radial direction and on the other side surface as at least one opposite, substantially complementary tongue opposite to the groove. Said pontoon made of plastic and produced by rotational melting, extrusion blow moulding or RIM process.

A pontoon boat includes first and second pontoons on the port and starboard sides of the boat and a main deck attached to the top of the pontoons. A front wave deflector extends forwards and upwards from the front of the main deck at an angle. The front wave deflector is held above the water and does not contact the water while the pontoon boat is floating in or moving through calm water. The front wave deflector contacts the tops of waves when the pontoon boat is navigating rough water and pushes the water beneath the pontoon boat deck. This allows the pontoon boat to navigate rough water without loss of momentum and without excessive up and down pitching.

A system of brackets and rails for attaching wheels, towing, and accessory devices to a pontoon water bike to increase the transportability and utility of the craft by making it towable by pedestrian and bicycle, converting it to amphibious operation, and allowing a variety of other attachments to create a more capable and efficient watercraft.
