    Abstract: Floatable, torus-segment-like pontoon for a torus-like floating body constructed from a plurality of such pontoons, with a torus eye containing the torus axis of rotation. The pontoon comprises connecting means on substantially flat side surfaces, which are designed in such a way that adjacent pontoons can be joined in a positive-fitting manner in the axial direction; Receiving areas on the radially inner pontoon surfaces for receiving a component in the torus eye; Retaining means arranged on the radially outer pontoon surfaces for holding adjacent pontoons together in the torus circumferential direction and in the radial direction; and connecting means configured on one of the side surfaces as at least one groove extending in the radial direction and on the other side surface as at least one opposite, substantially complementary tongue opposite to the groove. Said pontoon made of plastic and produced by rotational melting, extrusion blow moulding or RIM process.

    Abstract: A vessel with three platforms—an outer hull, an inner deck hull and a passenger carriage, having four independent suspension systems there between so as to accommodate for the multi axis movements of the outer hull. This multi axis suspension system spread between the three platforms will offer the passenger carriage stability against the pitch, yaw and roll rotations a vessel makes as it twists and turns going up and down the slope of a wave as well as the heave, sway and surge movements induced by the waves pushing the vessel around and or the ship sliding down the face of a wave.

    Abstract: A catamaran oil production apparatus is disclosed for producing oil in a marine environment. The apparatus includes first and second vessels that are spaced apart during use. A first frame spans between the vessels. A second frame spans between the vessels. The frames are spaced apart and connected to the vessels in a configuration that spaces the vessels apart. The first frame connects to the first vessel with a universal joint and to the second vessel with a hinged connection. The second frame connects to the second vessel with a universal joint and to the first vessel with a hinged or pinned connection. At least one of the frames supports an oil production platform. One or more risers or riser pipes extends from the seabed (e.g., at a wellhead) to the production platform (or platforms). In one embodiment, the production apparatus includes crew quarters.

    Abstract: An extendable and retractable lower deck for a watercraft is attached to and supported by one or more amidships hulls. The lower deck and hulls slide between an extended position and a stowed position on rails that are secured to the underside frame of the main, upper deck that is supported by abeam hulls. When fully extended, the extendable deck remains attached to the watercraft. A rotatable gate positioned within the lower hull can be used for improved accessibility to and from the water; the gate is stowed when its distal end is in the raised position and is deployed when its distal end extends below the bottom side of the hull into the water in the lowered position. Laterally expandable panels in the lower deck provide increased width, and other accessories used with the watercraft can be contained in one or more storage holds in the amidships hull.

    Abstract: A suspension system for a multi-hulled vessel including: a chassis and at least one left hull and at least one right hull; a front left, a back left, a front right and a back right support arrangements with respective rams; a first adjustment accumulator having a fluid chamber and a gas chamber; and a first actuator to transfer or effectively transfer fluid between the fluid chamber of the first adjustment accumulator and at least one compression chamber of a respective ram of a first support arrangement comprising one or more of the front left, front right, back left or back right support arrangements. A static pressure in the gas chamber of the first adjustment accumulator being within 25% of a static operating pressure in the at least one compression chamber of the at least one ram of the first support arrangement.

    Abstract: A boat hull comprises a central hull having top and bottom portions and first and second side hulls slidably supported from the top portion of the central hull so as to be transversely extendable relative thereto. The bottom portion of the central hull is rotatably connected to the top portion so as to be movable between raised and lowered positions. A method of reconfiguring the boat hull comprises slidably displacing first and second side hulls relative to a central hull and rotatably displacing a bottom portion of the central hull relative to a top portion from a raised position to a lowered position between the first and second side hulls.
