A single point mooring method, wherein a fixed structure is anchored to sea bed. A first member is connected to the fixed structure rotatably around a first axis and a second member is connected to the first member rotatably around a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The tanker mooring line is connected to the second member rotatably, and a flexible pipeline for transferring fluid to or from the tanker is rotatably connected to the second member so as to compensate stress in the tanker mooring line caused by translational and rotational movements of the tanker.

Mono-mooring method and system for berthing ships in open sea

Device for the precision-positioning of bodies on fixed structures on the sea bottom in high-depth waters. The device comprises a fixed structure and an articulated structure. One end of the articulated structure is fastened to the body to be positioned, and the other end is engaged inside a reference seat of the fixed structure on the sea bottom. The precision-positioning of the body is carried out by linearly and/or angularly displacing the articulated structure with respect to the fixed structure.

Process and device for the precision positioning of bodies on fixed

A system for recovering wave energy and its conversion into mechanical and electrical energy, comprising a pickup member kept in a submerged position and one or more resilient lines (extensible flexible hoses) connected mechanically at one end to the pickup member and at the other end to an anchor fixed to the sea or lake bed. The interior of the resilient lines are in communication at one end with a gas-filled accumulator vessel and are blind at the other end, and are also filled with an incompressible fluid. One or more turbines and displacement engines convert the pressure and kinetic energy of the incompressible fluid into mechanical energy. The turbines are coupled to an electric generator for generating electrical energy utilizing the mechanical energy.

System for recovering wave energy and its conversion into useful energy

A floating platform used in exploiting subsea oil shoals and a method for installing the platform which comprises a platform structure and an array of vertical tubular anchoring lines connected to the uprights of the platform and to anchoring blocks lying on the sea bottom, the tube sections which form the anchoring lines being connected together in sequential order by welding to make up a solid entity.

Floating platform for use in deep waters, and method of installation

In a self-propelled, remotely controlled vehicle adapted to operate on the sea bottom for extracting ores therefrom, a V-shaped tubular structure has at its apexes a system of crawlers for moving the structure on the sea bottom. Underneath each side of the V-shaped structure, a scraping system is operative and its long axis is perpendicular to the corresponding side of the V-shaped structure. Tubular conveying systems for elevating the ore to the surface are provided. The V-shaped structure is collapsible by means of hydraulic actuators.
