  • Floating support structure comprising a floater and a heave plate with section varying with depth
    Patent number: 11173990
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a floating support structure (1) provided with a main floater (2) and with a heave plate (3). Heave plate (3) comprises a section varying with depth. Furthermore, heave plate (3) has a minimum horizontal section Sd1 greater than horizontal section Sc of main floater (2).
    Type: Grant

  • Floating mounting having a depth-variable horizontal cross-section
    Patent number: 10252781
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a floating mounting (1) which includes ballasting means (2) in order to vary the draught of the floating mounting. The floating mounting (1) according to the invention has a depth-variable horizontal cross-section, such that the second moment of area of the cross-section of the floating mounting, at the buoyancy surface (Sd), is higher when the floating mounting is deballasted, compared with the second moment of area of the buoyancy surface of the floating mounting, at the buoyancy surface (Sb), when the floating mounting is ballasted.

  • FLOATING MOUNTING HAVING A DEPTH-VARIABLE HORIZONTAL CROSS-SECTION
    Publication number: 20180118309
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a floating mounting (1) which includes ballasting means (2) in order to vary the draught of the floating Lfb mounting. The floating mounting (1) according to the invention has a depth-variable horizontal cross-section, such that the second moment of area of the cross-section of the floating mounting, at the buoyancy surface (Sd), is higher when the floating mounting is deballasted, compared with the second moment of area of the buoyancy surface of the floating mounting, at the buoyancy surface (Sb), when the floating mounting is ballasted.
