A safety system for transferring a load from vessel to a jetty or other surface. The system includes a rod assembly having a movable proximal end, and a distal end and is about parallel to a surface. The proximal end of the rod assembly is anchored on the vessel. A first carabiner is coupled to the distal end of the rod assembly. A first pulley is detachably coupled with the first carabiner to support movement of a passing rope. A descent control device assists in managing movement of the rope from the vessel to the surface. The descent control device is configured with a stainless steel anchor ring attached or improvised anchor point using a wire rope sling to the vessel in order to create a primary anchor point. A fourth carabiner allows a first knotting of partial first end of rope. A chair assembly is coupled to the fourth carabiner to a pre-defined distance from the first end of rope. A hook unit is configured with the fourth carabiner to allow a second knotting of the first end of the rope and is detachably coupled to secure a harness in order to safely transfer the load from the vessel to the surface.

The present invention belongs to the nautical field, specifically to the area of buoys. The invention relates to a buoy for checking the condition of a person or an object tied to the said buoy. The essence of the buoy according to the invention is in that it comprises a casing, which floats on the water surface, and a capsule with a camera and lights, which can be separated from the casing with a UTP cable and can be lowered down to an anchor, an object or a person. The wire rope, which is connected to the lower part of the capsule can be connected to any anchor, a fixed object on the sea bed or a person. The camera captures images and/or video and sends data via the UTP cable to the processor, and the processors sends data via wireless network (WiFi or similar) to the mobile application installed on the user device, which is preferably a smart phone, a tablet, computer or a similar device. The user can visually check the condition of the anchor and simultaneously monitor the anchor position via one or more satellite systems for global navigation, and the position is displayed graphically and numerically on the application on a mobile telephone, a tablet or a computer.

A system for release of mooring loading and unloading lines between a loading and unloading station at sea and a vessel comprises a yoke with mooring tethers, for connection between the yoke and the vessel. A method for quick release comprises disconnecting the lines, connecting them to a winch arrangement; lowering line connectors for parking on a parking structure on the yoke if the swivel is above sea level, or on the sea floor if the swivel is close to the sea floor; lowering the yoke by the winch arrangement after the line connectors are parked on the parking structure if the swivel is above sea level, lowering the yoke with the line connectors if the swivel is close to the sea floor; stopping the winch arrangement when the yoke has landed on the sea floor, and further lowering the mooring tethers on the sea floor by moving the vessel.
