A device for transporting structures on water, as well as dismounting or installation of the structure(s) includes an elongated tilting frame () hingedly connected at a pivoting point () to a water vessel (). The tilting frame () holds one or more support cribs () designed for being displaceable relative to the tilting frame and possibly relative to each other, the tilting frame further being designed to be able to assume an essentially horizontal or slightly tilted position, corresponding to a transport position, and being designed for being able to be tilted about the hinge connection to an essentially vertical position by suitable means, the vertical position corresponding to a lifting or operating position wherein the structure(s) carried by the support crib(s) may be lifted or lowered up from or down into the water, respectively, or up or down above water level.

Device for transporting structures on water

A device for positioning and lifting a marine structure, particularly a platform deck, with the use of a U-shaped lifting vessel (). The device has at least two adjustable lifting frames (), each able to incline towards the middle of the docking area. Each of the lifting frames () consists of an upper horizontal lifting beam (), preferably situated on a level above the top of the lifting vessel (). The near-vertical part of the lifting frame () is connected to the lifting beam () in the upper end and in the lower end hinged () to the lifting vessel (). The near-horizontal part of the lifting frame () is in one end connected to the lifting beam () and in the other end adjustably connected to the lifting vessel ().

Device for positioning and lifting a marine structure, particularly a platform deck

A lifting vessel ( ) consisting of a lower U-shaped pontoon foundation ( ), a number of vertical columns ( ) attached to the pontoon foundation and extending upwards and through the water surface, and each column ( ) being free-standing above the pontoon foundation ( ). Methods for positioning, lifting and handling of a platform dock and a platform jacket is also described.
