Patent number: 10155569Abstract: A swivel (100) for a mooring line comprises a first element (110) with a first line coupler (111) and a second element (112) with a second line coupler (113). The first element (110) and the second element (112) are rotatable relative to each other. An electric power generator (120) converts a relative rotation between the first element (110) and the second element (112) into electric power. In use, the line couplers (111, 113) are attached to separate segments of the mooring line. A pull F applied to or relieved from the mooring line causes the relative rotation. The swivel preferably contains a battery and a control unit, and may supply power to one or more sensors (130) built into or external to the swivel (100). A system for monitoring a mooring arrangement is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2015Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: ABYSSUS MARINE SERVICES ASInventor: Tjøm J. Kyrre

Patent number: 8206193Abstract: A buoy provided preferably for ascending in the water from an initial submerged position. The buoy comprises a buoyancy element positioned at an upper portion of the buoy in the ascending direction. Further the buoy comprises a storing structure for an elongated member positioned below the buoyancy element in the ascending direction, wherein one end of the elongated member is connected to the buoy and the other end of the elongated member is connected to an object submerged in the water. The buoyancy element is provided to obtain a rotation of the buoy around its central axis thereby paying out the elongated member while the buoy is ascending essentially vertically in the water.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2006Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Abyssus Marine Services ASInventor: Kyrre J.
