Abstract: A connector for connecting underwater cables includes: a connection housing in which the cables enter parallel to each other and parallel to a first direction; and a handling bar, connected to the connection housing by a linking unit hinged along an axis perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a semi-submersible floater defining an operating state and a non-operating state, and including at least two outer columns, a central column for receiving a payload, and, for each outer column, a branch in the form of pontoon connecting the outer column to the central column and defining a branch axis oriented from the central column towards the outer column. Each branch is formed from a first portion and a second portion which extend successively along the corresponding branch axis, each one over at least 10% of the total extent of the branch, along the branch axis. In the operating state of the floater, the second portion of each branch is at least partially filled with a ballast material, and the first portion does not contain any ballast material.

Abstract: This gland for a sealed feedthrough of an orifice of a partition using a filiform component such as an electric cable, in particular, of the type including: a gland body for the passage of the filiform component, sealingly fixed to the partition to be passed through opposite the orifice; a seal in the form of a deformable sleeve, placed in a corresponding housing of the gland body, around the component; and a component forming a rammer for compressing the seal in the form of a deformable sleeve and deforming them in the housing of the gland body against the filiform component, so as to provide the seal between the gland body and the filiform component. The seal in the form of a deformable sleeve is in the form of a stack of annular seals.

Abstract: Disclosed is a float, notably for an offshore wind turbine including at least four columns, including a central column and three exterior columns that are connected to the central column by branches forming pontoons. The columns have a fixing-collar forming unit for fixing the columns to corresponding assembly portions of the branch forming pontoon, and the float includes a unit for centering the columns in the assembled position on the corresponding assembly portions of the branch forming pontoon.

Abstract: The system for connecting submarine cables and especially umbilical cables for renewable marine energy farms, is characterized in that it includes an intermediate part for connecting the cables, adapted to be placed between ends for connecting the cables and includes both electrical and mechanical connections for the cables.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fairlead for guiding an anchoring element of an offshore structure, such as a floating structure, at an anchoring point, of the type having a guide for the anchoring element and a lock holding the anchoring element in position, having a locking jaw including two locking jaw elements that are movable by a maneuvering unit actuated by a controller, between a closed position preventing the anchoring element from moving in translation and an open position releasing the anchoring element. The controller is of the impulse-type, and the maneuvering unit includes a pawl that defines successive stable open and closed positions of the jaw-forming unit.
