Abstract: The port security barrier includes multiple barrier float assemblies connected to one another to form a barrier to stop, delay and discourage attacks by high speed boats of sixty five feet or less in length on high valued waterfront assets such as ports and docking facilities. The port security barrier includes multiple barrier floats coupled to one another by flange connectors. Each barrier float assembly also has a capture nylon net which is used to capture the high speeds and prevent an intrusion into restricted waters.

Abstract: A near shore port security barrier for protecting a vessel docked at a port facility from an incoming waterborne craft which is being used to inflict damage on the vessel. The near shore port security barrier consist of a plurality of floating barrier modules connected to one another and placed adjacent the hull of the vessel the near shore port security barrier is designed to protect. A wire mesh barrier fence, which is positioned on the outer perimeter of each floating barrier module is also provided to protect the vessel.

Abstract: A swiveling hose coupling comprising first and second nipples and a cylindrical shell. The cylindrical shell includes a swivel shell, and first and second retaining rings. The swivel shell is set between the first and second retaining rings. The first and second nipples are in proximity with one another within the cylindrical shell, but are separated by antifriction bearings. The first and second nipple rotate independent of one another to prevent inhibition of liquid flow in a hose coupled to the swiveling hose coupling. The first and second nipples are set in the cylindrical shell, using journal bearing grooves on the first and second nipple, in which the journal bearing grooves abut the first and second retaining rings. Reference points for the application of a hose coupling clamp are provided by an indexing ring on each of the nipples.
