Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for shiploading.

The invention relates to a loading device, wherein the loading device comprises a gantry (6) and a platform (5) which is mounted on the gantry (6). A pylon (1) is arranged at a base point (7) on the platform (5). A jib extends out from the pylon (1). The pylon (1) can be rotatably connected to the platform (5). The platform (5) defines a vertical axis (8) which extends in the vertical direction and runs through the base point (7). The pylon (1) is curved in a region adjoining the platform (5) and intersects the vertical axis (8) at an angle (a). The invention further comprises a pylon (1) for a loading device.

A method and apparatus for disposing of drill cuttings 500 from an oil and/or gas well drilling platform 510, comprising (a) transporting the drill cuttings 520 to a cuttings collection area 530 on the platform 510; (b) providing a barge 10, the barge 10 having at least one storage area 30, a cover 100 operably connected to the at least one storage area 30, and covering the at least one storage area 30; (c) placing the cover 100 in a first open state so that cuttings 500 can be placed in the at least one storage area 30; (d) transporting the drill cuttings 500 from the cuttings collection area 530 to the at least one storage area of the barge 10; (e) placing the cover 100 in a closed state so that the cuttings 520 in the storage area 30 of the barge 10 are contained; (f) transporting the barge 10 from the drilling platform 510 to a collection site 540; (g) placing the cover 100 in a second open state so that the cuttings 520 in the storage area 30 can be removed; and (h) removing the cuttings 520 from the storage area 30.

Embodiments disclosed herein include a portable radial stacker for stockpiling bulk material. The stacker may include a linear conveyor having a rear portion including a hopper, and a front portion, the conveyor being designed to carry bulk material along an elevating path from a low position adjacent the rear portion to a higher position adjacent the front portion. The hopper may be pivotally mounted to the conveyor at a pivot point, with at least one hopper arm extending between the hopper and the conveyor rearward of the pivot point. The at least one hopper arm may include at least one hopper hydraulic cylinder to extend and retract the effective length of the hopper arm to raise and lower a rear end of the hopper to modify a degree of elevation of the hopper.

The present invention provides a rain-guard device for shipping that can prevent water from seeping into a hatch opening. A rain-guard device for shipping 20, includes a rail 19, which is placed on a sliding hatch cover 11, an on-board chute 22, which is provided in the rail 19 in a travelable manner, which covers part of a hatch opening 13, and which, furthermore, supplies cargo from a shiploader 1 into the hold 7, a lid member 23 to cover the rest of the hatch opening 13, and a water-blocking part 100, which prevents water from seeping into the hatch opening 13, through a gap between the lid member 23 and the sliding hatch cover 11.

A method of handling bulk cargo, including suspending, with a spreader of a container crane, a cargo handling system above a dock where a ship loaded with bulk cargo lands, the cargo handling system including a frame having an engaging portion engageable with the spreader of the container crane, a blower attached to the frame and configured to suck air, and a separator attached to the frame and configured to separate bulk cargo sucked along with the air from the air sucked by the blower. While the cargo handling system is suspended above the dock, using the cargo handling system to suck up the bulk cargo from the ship with the blower of the cargo handling system together with the air; separate the bulk cargo from the air with the separator of the cargo handling system; and discharge the separated bulk cargo from the cargo handling system.

The invention relates to a system (1) for transferring liquefied gas between a first facility and a second facility, said transfer system (1) including: an articulated arm (2) including a first proximal part (6) suitable for being mounted so that it can rotate on the first facility about a first vertical axis (A), a second median part (7) that is mounted pivoting on the first proximal part (6) and a third distal part (8) that is mounted pivoting on the second median part (7); and at least one transfer line (3, 4, 5), suitable for transferring liquefied gas between the first facility and the second facility, and including a flexible first proximal portion (15) suitable for being connected to a liquefied gas storage tank of the first facility; a rigid second median portion (16) that is fastened to the second median part (7) of the articulated arm (2) and a third distal portion (17) that is suspended on the third distal part (8) of the articulated arm (2) and has an end suitable for being connected to a manifold of the second facility, the second median portion (16) being provided with a valve (22).
