  • Patent number: 10618602
    Abstract: A method to rapidly form a reconfigurable multihull multiplatform floating vessel includes installing a plurality of pin connectors on a plurality of longitudinal hulls, installing a plurality of joints on the plurality of longitudinal hulls, positioning the plurality of longitudinal hulls with the plurality of pin connectors and the plurality of joints proximate each other, mounting a first moveable planar platform having a first end and a second end with the first moveable planar platform mounted a preset distance above a load line of the first longitudinal hull, mounting a second moveable planar platform having a first end and a second end, forming a platform void extending between pairs of moveable planar platforms to provide increased safety for equipment and personnel on the moveable planar platform by preventing impact together of longitudinal hulls, and forming a hull void extending between pairs of longitudinal hulls.

  • Patent number: 10131407
    Abstract: A multihull multiplatform floating vessel with a plurality of longitudinal hulls, a plurality of pin connectors; each pin connector providing one axis motion, a plurality of joints, each joint providing two axis motion, wherein the first joint is mounted on one hull the second joint is mounted on a second hull and wherein one group of pin connectors is mounted on one hull and a second group of pin connectors is mounted on the second hull. A first moveable planar platform is connected to the hulls and a second moveable planar platform is connected to the hulls by the pin connectors and joints, the platforms spaced apart from each other forming a platform void between pairs of platforms, and a hull void between pairs of hulls increasing safety onboard and decreasing motion of the moveable planar platforms as mounted to the longitudinal hulls.
