The application relates to a floatable foundation structure for an offshore structure including at least one floating body arrangement and at least one mass arrangement. The mass arrangement is connected to the floating body arrangement by at least one holding rope in a coupling state. Further, in the coupling state for coupling the floating body arrangement to the mass arrangement, a coupling section of the holding rope is arcuately guided around a contact section of the mass arrangement.

A monopile foundation guiding device is provided. The monopile foundation guiding device includes at least one guiding unit; each of the at least one guiding unit includes a single driving unit, a transmission unit, and a clamping unit; the clamping unit includes at least two clamping arms, and a clamping space for clamping a monopile foundation is formed between the at least two clamping arms; the single driving unit transmits power to the transmission unit, and the at least two clamping arms are driven to operate synchronously by means of the transmission unit, so that the clamping unit is opened or closed.

The present invention relates to a method for installing a wind turbine or other tall structure at a target location at sea, the method comprising: —providing an installation vessel comprising at least one crane, wherein the crane comprises a lower boom part, a right boom part, and a left boom part, wherein the right boom part and the left boom part are connected to an upper portion of the lower boom part and extend from said upper portion, wherein a space is present between the right and left boom part, —lifting a tall structure part, in particular the nacelle assembly, with the crane, wherein in top view the tall structure part is supported at least partially between the right and left boom part by one or more hoist lines extending from the right and left boom part to the tall structure part.

A feeder vessel for the onshore-to-offshore transport of elongate wind turbine objects with a motion compensating carrier assembly having a motion compensated platform for receiving and retaining the elongate object, and a motion compensation mechanism. The motion compensation mechanism includes extendable actuators which passively compensate motions of the platform out of a neutral position, and winches driving carrier cables such that traction by the respective carrier winch counteracts an extension of at least one of the carrier actuators. The winches are embodied as active motion compensation winches to compensate movements of the platform.

The disclosure provides a method and system to monitor and advise the status of a group of floating platforms, such as offshore floating wind platforms, by using a floating platform's motion in the group and detect one or more anomalies to identify one or more disorders (including irregularities) in the group. Input for this method can include information of wind speed and direction and orientations of the wind turbine nacelles. The orientation of the platform can complement the orientation of a wind turbine nacelle on the platform in case the platform is equipped with a turret. Disorders include, but not limited to, mooring line failure, shifts of a drag anchor, other issues with the mooring system components such as fairleads, issues with the ballasting configuration of the floater, issues with the turret (if any), issues with the swivel of the nacelle, issues with the rotor, and issues with the blades.

A deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for complementary power generation, production, living and exploration includes a platform body and a sustainable power supply system, where the platform body includes a column cabin, an upper platform housing, a lower platform housing and a current guide column; the column cabin, the current guide column, the lower platform housing and the upper platform housing are mutually connected to form a triangular platform with a hollow cavity, and a net is disposed in the hollow cavity to form a mariculture zone; the sustainable power supply system includes a wind-driven generator disposed at an end of a top surface of the upper platform housing, a solar panel disposed above a middle portion of the top surface of the upper platform housing, a wave power generation apparatus disposed on the current guide column, and several tidal current power generation apparatuses.

A multiple rotor (MR) wind turbine comprising a tower (21) extending in an upwards direction, a load carrying structure (22) extending in an outwards direction and being fixed to the tower, and an energy generating unit (54) fixed to the load carrying structure, wherein the outwards direction is transverse to the upwards direction, the wind turbine further comprising a hoisting line (53) for communication of objects (52) to and from the energy generating unit (54), the hoisting line being windable from an attachment point (55) of the load carrying structure or from the energy generating unit. To allow positioning of hosted objects near the tower, or at selectable distance from the tower, the hoisting line extends from the attachment point via a suspension point (56) to a lifting point (57) where the object (52) can be attached, and the suspension point (56) is movable outside the load carrying structure.

A buoyant offshore renewable energy system mounting platform is provided for positioning a renewable energy device in a body of water, the body of water comprising a surface and a bed, the platform comprising a framework, comprising at least three vertexes, and at least one mooring member for positioning the platform relative to the surface and bed of the body of water.
