Abstract: An anchor device for anchoring a floating structure to the seabed with an anchor chain having a shackle at one end of the chain. The anchor device includes a mooring bolt for being inserted into a borehole drilled in the seabed and a support plate having a lower face for resting on the seabed and an upper face with a through hole through which the mooring bolt passes through the support plate for being inserted into the borehole. The upper face of the support plate has a connection point for coupling the shackle of the end of the chain, such that when the floating structure is anchored to the seabed, the chain is subjected to tensile stresses causing a force to be applied at the connection point and not directly to the mooring bolt.

Abstract: An underwater connector for connecting a chain under water. The connector includes a connector body having a first end with an anchoring point and a second end for the anchoring of the chain. The second end includes an inlet opening that is communicated with a housing in the connector body, the housing configured to house an end link of the chain. The connector also includes a locking plate that is moveable from a first position outside the housing of the connector body and a second position inside the housing of the connector body. When the locking plate is in the first position an end link of the chain is allowed to pass through the inlet opening and into the housing of the connector body. When the locking plate is in the second position the locking plate contacts the end link to lock the end link inside the housing.

Abstract: A semisubmersible floating platform (1) for supporting at least one wind turbine, comprising four buoyant columns (3), each of them being attached to a ring pontoon (2); a transition piece (4) configured to support one wind turbine, disposed on the buoyant columns (3); and a heave plate (5) assembled to the internal perimeter of the ring pontoon (2). The ring pontoon (2) comprises four pontoon portions forming a quadrilateral-shaped ring pontoon (2) wherein the first end of each column (3) is attached to a respective corner of said quadrilateral-shaped ring pontoon (2). The heave plate (5) is located in the internal perimeter of the ring pontoon (2), both defining a hollow. The pontoon (2) is preferably divided into a plurality of compartments or construction blocks that may be filled with fixed ballast, such as concrete.
