  • Re-use of vessels for transporting deck payloads
    Publication number: 20020124784
    Abstract: A system for transporting a payload in a marine environment that utilizes a converted vessel having at least one internal space, at least one interface system securingly attached to said vessel to support in a seaworthy fashion a payload above and/or at the vessel's deck.

  • Semi-submersible vessel
    Publication number: 20020092455
    Abstract: An uncrossed-braced, column stabilized semi-submersible and improved methods of operation of the same are disclosed. The semi-submersible vessel provides necessary strength to resist hydrodynamic forces via a unitized support system. Improved elliptically shaped columns, haunch supports and reinforcing members provide stability and resist transverse forces. A skirt design minimizes the reduced stability at the transition point. Improved deck designs reduce environmental impacts and provide additional support against transverse forces.
