Abstract: A handle for winches includes an arm with a main longitudinal extension having longitudinally opposing ends, a first end and a second end, respectively, on which there are mounted a coupling member for connection to a winch and a grip, respectively. The coupling member and grip extend from a transversely opposite first face and second face, respectively, of said arm. The handle includes at least one lighting device which can be selectively activated, mounted on the arm in an intermediate position between the Longitudinally opposing ends and orientated to project at least one lighting beam from the first face.

Abstract: A system includes a mobile device having a display, a sensor, and a processor coupled to the display. The processor can be adapted to obtain three-dimensional (3D) imagery data, create a virtual container around the device according to the 3D data, calibrate the virtual container, select a first portion of an inner surface of the virtual container according to the calibration of the virtual container, present at the display a first image associated with the first portion, wherein the first image is derived from the 3D data, receive sensor data from the sensor, detect from the sensor data a movement by the device, select a second portion of the inner surface according to the detected movement, and present at the display a second image associated with the second portion, wherein the second image is derived from the 3D data. The 360° immersive image adapts to the position of the device.

Abstract: A flexible structure of controlled yieldability for use as a hydrocarbon drilling and production platform in deep seas, or as a mooring point for oil tankers, constituted by a foundation base assembly, a vertical cylindrical tubular element placed under tension by a buoyancy chamber disposed at its top in proximity to the water surface, and an overlying lattice which at its top supports the plant platform.The tubular element is connected at its lower end to the base and at its upper end to the buoyancy chamber by means of suitable profiled tapered terminal elements able to withstand the bending loads which are generated at said connections.The entire structure is constituted by four separate pieces, namely the foundation base assembly with the lower terminal element, the lower half of the cylindrical tubular element, the upper half thereof, and the upper buoyancy chamber which is connected at one end to the upper terminal connection element and at the other end to the top lattice.

Abstract: A system for mooring tankers to an emergent fixed structure, constituted by an articulated connection structure using an equalizer hinged to the tanker deck by hinges able to isolate said articulated structure from the tanker rolling motion.

Abstract: An apparatus for reducing environmental forces on a mooring system for tanker ships, wherein a fixed structure comprising a hinged arm rotatably movable with respect to the mooring system is provided with a rocker assembly which is pivotally connected to said arm and universally connected via lateral connecting ties to ballast chambers.
