A suspension system for supporting a body relative to at least four points, including: a respective front left, front right, back left and back right support arrangement between the respective point and the body, each respective support arrangement including a respective resilience arrangement and a respective control ram, each respective control ram including a respective compression chamber forming at least part of a respective compression control volume; a control arrangement including a first and a second diagonal reversible pump for displacing fluid between diagonally opposite compression control volumes. Each respective resilience arrangement can include a respective damping arrangement to restrict and/or selectively prevent compression and/or expansion of at least a portion of the respective resilience arrangement. Each respective control ram can further include a respective rebound chamber, the front control rams being cross connected and the back control rams being cross connected.

A floating wind power generation device comprises: a main buoyant body which has buoyancy and a space portion provided in the center; an auxiliary buoyant body which has buoyancy and is connected to the main buoyancy and is connected to the main buoyant body by being inserted into the space portion of the main buoyant body; a plurality of wind power generators which are vertically provided on top of the auxiliary buoyant body and generate power; a location control means which is connected to the main buoyant body and controls the location of the main buoyant body; an oscillation inhibiting means which is connected to the main buoyant body and enables the main buoyant body to maintain an equilibrium state by absorbing the sea waves; and a dock connection unit which is connected to the main buoyant body and enables a ship to lie at anchor on the sea.

A floatation system for a marine vessel with a starboard pontoon, a port pontoon, and a center pontoon positioned therebetween. Outer strakes each extending along an outer length between forward and aft ends, each having an outer surface at an outer angle from a horizontal plane and an inner surface at an inner angle from the horizontal plane, and each being coupled to one of the starboard pontoon and the port pontoon. Inner strakes each extending along an inner length between forward and aft ends, each having an outer surface at an outer angle from a horizontal plane and an inner surface at an inner angle from the horizontal plane, and each being coupled to the center pontoon. The outer angles of the inner strakes are greater than the outer angles of the outer strakes and the inner angles of the inner strakes are less than 90°.
