Abstract: Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) suppression strakes, in particular VIV suppression strakes are arranged on subsea pipelines. A VIV suppression strake assembly includes a strake fin support shell that is configured to be arranged against the outer surface of a section of pipe and at least one strake fin having a fin tip and a fin base. The strake fin support shell includes an aperture that is configured for inserting the fin therein, and the fin is provided at the fin base with an anchor, which anchor is configured for engaging the fin support shell on the pipe side of the aperture. The aperture is a slot dimensioned to allow the fin to be inserted in the slot from the pipe side of the slot with the fin tip leading until the fin base engages the shell.

Abstract: The present invention is for coating a surface area of a gap in the coating of a pipeline, said surface area having a length along the central longitudinal axis of the pipeline and a width of at least part of the circumference of the pipeline. The device according to the invention comprises: a frame; a spray nozzle support element supporting a number of spray nozzles; a linear motion mechanism configured for translating the spray nozzle support element relative to the frame and parallel to a longitudinal axis of the frame; and support members configured for arranging the frame stationary relative to the pipeline with said longitudinal axis of said frame coinciding with the central longitudinal axis of the pipeline.

Abstract: A system for abandonment or recovery of a load, e.g., a pipeline or sub-sea structure, includes: at least two cables, each with a length adapted for a certain water depth and with a first end and a second end; a winch system for the at least two cables, the first ends of each cable being connected to the winch system; and a connection device for connecting the second ends of each cable to the load to be abandoned or recovered.

Abstract: A device for lifting a seagoing construction such as a drilling rig, which device comprises one or more floater bodies, one or more beam-like lifting members supported movably on a floater body and running parallel or practically parallel to each other, wherein the or each lifting member is supported on at least two support points of the floater body, at least one of which is adjustable in height direction, and the end part of the lifting member lying outside the floater body has a pressure point which is in contact with the construction for lifting, this such that the seagoing construction can be easily connected to the end of the lifting member without this construction suffering damage as a result of the sea swell.
