An assembly for a watercraft according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a flotation device including an elongated slot and a mount that has first and second flanges extending outwardly from a bracket body. The first flange is configured to be mechanically attached to a frame, and the second flange is slideably received in the slot to secure the flotation device. A method of assembly for a watercraft is also disclosed.

A boat includes an inner hull layer an outer hull layer. Each layer includes a deck, a starboard side, a port side, and a stern. Each layer is assembled from flat sections. The boat further includes a waterproof layer located between the inner and outer hull layers. Each layer can be disassembled for boat storage purposes.

An offshore floating island includes a supporting structure and an island main body. The bottom of the supporting structure is fixed at the seabed, and the island main body includes one or two or more compartment bodies; the upper part of the supporting structure is provided with a carrying part; the bottom of each compartment body is provided with a mounting part; the compartment body is of a cavity structure, and a filler is injected to the compartment body till the compartment body sinks to cause the mounting part to be in lock type clamping with the carrying part. The island main body is of a compartment-sinking type structure; the filler is poured into the compartment bodies to cause the compartment bodies to sink; the mounting parts and the carrying part cooperate to realize detachable connection between the supporting structure and the compartment bodies.

A floating body to which an aquatic or marine facility is installed or which is connected to a lower part of the aquatic or marine facility to hold the aquatic or marine facility on water or the sea is proposed. The floating body may include a main floating body which floats on water or the sea by using buoyancy, and a magnet provided on a first vertical side of the main floating body. The floating body may also include a coupling member provided on an opposite vertical side of the main floating body by corresponding to a magnet of another floating body such that the coupling member is coupled thereto, and a mooring line installed on a part of the main floating body to moor and hold the main floating body on water or the sea.

A hull-mounted installation conversion method in which some or all of first-use units placed on a hull and constituting a first-use installation are removed from the hull, and then second-use units are placed on the hull to construct a second-use installation. For example, the first-use units are medical units, and the first-use installation is a medical installation. Alternatively, the second-use units are medical units, and the second-use installation is a medical installation.
