Abstract: A floating support structure for supporting a windmill system includes a windmill tower, a windmill nacelle, and windmill blades. The support structure includes an aft main section, a transverse main section, and a connecting flange. The aft main section includes a horizontal aft part with a first horizontal aft end and a second horizontal aft end, a vertical aft part with a first vertical aft end at least indirectly connected perpendicular to the first horizontal aft end and a second vertical aft end, and an aft damping structure connected to the second vertical aft end. The vertical and the horizontal aft parts are oriented in a common vertical aft plane. A horizontal cross sectional area of the aft damping structure is larger than a horizontal cross-sectional area of the second vertical aft end.

Abstract: A floating installation for temporarily accommodating objects that are being transported from a first position to a second position located on a marine installation, characterized by the floating installation including at least one marine docking station adapted for the call of a seagoing transport vessel, the at least one docking station being integrated in the installation, at least one helipad and living quarters, and a method of transporting personnel and equipment.

Abstract: A floating production unit is operable for production and storage of hydrocarbons. The production unit exhibits in operation movement properties rendering connection of one or more loose hanging risers (5) of suitable material possible. Such a unit comprises a hull (1) and a deck (4) in an upper end of the hull, the deck being equipped adequately in accordance with the intended application.

Abstract: A plant for the combined re-gasification of refrigerated liquid gas and the production of electric power, where both a unit for re-gasification of liquid gas and a unit for the production of electric power are installed on board a floating terminal comprising tanks for liquid gas, said power producing unit being designed for the generation of electric power by combustion of hydrocarbons, and that the heat produced by the power producing unit is used for the re-gasification of the refrigerated liquid gas.

Abstract: A tank installation for the storage of liquids, especially oil in a floating storage or production installation, including a number of tanks which are connected to pipe systems for supply of liquid to or removal of liquid from the tanks. The installation includes a central section around which the tanks are arranged in such a manner that each tank has an inner sidewall portion bordering on the central section, and the pipe systems are arranged in the central section and include radially extending pipe lengths that are connected to respective tanks.

Abstract: Platform for drilling after or production of hydrocarbons at sea, consisting of a semi-submersible platform body which supports drilling and/or production equipment on its upper surface. The platform body is designed as a vertical mainly flat bottomed cylinder which is provided with at least one peripheral circular cut-out in the lower section of the cylinder since the centre of buoyancy for the submerged section of the platform is positioned lower than the centre of gravity of the platform.

Abstract: A ship for use in offshore operations, with one or more vertical openings (moonpools) in the hull, wherein the deck and/or hull bottom areas between or substantially between and/or otherwise adjacent the openings, are displaced relative to the rest of the deck and/or hull bottom areas of the ship to a position closer to the ship's transverse neutral axis. The area between the rest of the other deck- and hull bottom areas and substantially the displaced area or areas at the openings in the ship and the rest of the deck- and/or hull bottom areas can be stepped in one or more steps, or be shaped as an approximately linear or arcuate junction.

Abstract: An anchoring system for the production of hydrocarbons at sea by employing a moored production vessel or ship in which the ship is equipped with a mooring apparatus, preferably at the bow portion, and with at least one connection unit for a production riser from the seabed. Included is an anchor located at the seabed, as well as at least one anchor line adapted to connect the anchor to the mooring apparatus on the ship. There being provided a permanent anchor, preferably in the form of a suction anchor, gravitation anchor, or pile anchor. The anchor being provided with a swivel mechanism for the anchoring line, preferably with a buoyant body attached at a middle portion of the anchoring line, and whereby the riser is in the form of at least one flexible hose, the lower end of which is connected to said swivel mechanism. The flexible hose contains at least two passages for hydrocarbons and possibly other fluids.

Abstract: System for mooring ships, in particular for operations in connection with oil and gas activity, whereby a ship is equipped with a mooring device at its bow portion. There is included an anchor device located at the seabed, as well as at least one anchoring line adapted to connect the anchor device to the mooring device on the ship. The anchor device is an essentially permanent anchor device, preferably in the form of a suction anchor, gravitation anchor or pile anchor. The anchor device is provided with a swivel device for the anchoring line. A buoyant body is attached to a middle portion of the anchoring line.
