Abstract: A transfer structure for transfer of a fluid between a floating structure and a floating or non-floating facility and/or transmission of electric power between the floating or non-floating facility and the floating structure is disclosed. The transfer structure includes at least one attachment means passive-movably mounted relative to the transfer structure for releasable attachment of the transfer structure to the floating structure. The transfer structure is semi-submersible and floating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for containment of liquid natural gas (LNG) in a hull compartment of a marine construction, comprising a self-supporting primary barrier, a second barrier surrounding the self-supporting primary barrier, and an access space between the self-supporting primary barrier and the secondary barrier. The self-supporting primary barrier is a liquid-tight self-supporting LNG tank and is connected with the hull compartment by support devices penetrating the secondary barrier. The secondary barrier is a liquid-tight thermal insulation connected with the interior surface of the hull and is sealed to the support devices by a flexible liquid tight seal, so that the self-supporting primary barrier and the secondary barrier are separately connected with the hull compartment to prevent transfer of forces between the primary barrier and the second barrier.

Abstract: An apparatus for degassing oil comprising:—a room (30) for receiving oil comprising a first chamber (30a) and a second chamber (30b) connected to the first chamber;—an inlet (31) feeding oil into the first chamber;—an outlet (32) for feeding oil out of the first chamber;—a suction arrangement (40) connected to the outlet (32) for sucking out oil from the room;—a non-return valve (33) connected to the second chamber; and—a regulating device comprising a float (51) and a valve member (52) activated by the float for regulating the feeding of oil into the room. The float has a lower section (51) located in the first chamber and an upper section (51 b) extending into the second chamber. The upper section delimits a flow passage (63) extending between the first chamber and the second chamber. The valve member is arranged to open the inlet when the float assumes a lower position in the room and close the inlet when the float assumes an upper position in the room.

Abstract: A unit (1) for accumulating and degassing oil in an oil system comprising a reservoir (2) provided with a first chamber (3) in which the oil is subjected to atmospheric pressure and in which the oil volume is allowed to vary, a second chamber (4) which is intended to be at least nearly completely filled with oil and in which the oil is kept separated from direct contact with surrounding air, and a flow passage (7) between the chambers. A air-tight flexible member (11) is arranged in the first oil accumulation chamber in order to keep the oil therein separated from direct contact with surrounding air. The unit also comprises an apparatus (20) for degassing oil, which is connected to the reservoir and comprises an entrance (21a) for feeding oil into the apparatus (20), an exit (22a) for oil connected to the reservoir, and a degassing room.
