Abstract: A mooring system comprises a pair of first mooring elements configured at first ends for connection to a floating vessel, and a pair of second mooring elements configured at first ends for connection to a seabed below a water surface. A restrictor member is connected between said pair of first mooring elements' second ends. The restrictor member has a length dimension that is less than or equal to the width of the vessel to which the mooring system is connected.

Abstract: A buoy device includes a first part having a first support structure and a second part having a buoyant body and a second support structure. The first and second support structures are connectable to form a rotatable connection between the first part and the second part. The buoyant body further includes one or more buoyancy elements releasably arranged on the second part. The buoy device may be a turret buoy, a CALM turret buoy, or a CALM turntable buoy.

Abstract: A flexible elongate element for installation in a body of water to extend between a seabed connection device and a unit arranged at the opposite end of the flexible elongate element. At least one lateral displacement device is connected to a portion of the flexible elongate element and configured to displace at least a portion of the flexible elongate element a lateral distance away from a first axis extending between the seabed connection device and the unit, the at least one lateral displacement device including a spring member. The flexible elongate element may be a flexible riser, umbilical, hose, or cable.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for unpacking a stack of products packaged in a sleeve, such as a stack of covers for cans, for instance drink cans, having the steps of removing a portion of the sleeve located on a longitudinal end; peeling away the sleeve over the stack with a relative movement of the stack and the sleeve; and separately discharging the stack without the sleeve.
