Abstract

A method of chlorinating drinking water on a ship with a production and distribution system includes a recirculation distribution network and device for injecting a chlorine compound generating free chlorine into the network in an injection point. A regimen set point is set for free chlorine concentration at the injection point between 0.4 and 1.2 mg/l. Free chlorine concentration is monitored proximate the injection point by a first probe. Free chlorine concentration at a point furthest from the injection point is monitored by a second probe. The chlorine compound is injected into the distribution network to maintain the free chlorine concentration at the regimen set point. Regimen chlorination is performed if the second probe does not detect free chlorine concentration variations from the regimen set or detects variations in concentration relative to the regimen set point lower than a safety limit and/or duration lower than a safety time limit.

Abstract

A propulsion assembly of a ship or floating platform includes a housing within a hull or platform. The housing is watertight except for an opening external to the hull. A stationary motor is arranged in the hull external to the housing. A thruster is external to the hull to generate thrust on the ship or floating platform. A telescopic driving shaft passes sealingly through a housing wall to connect the motor and the thruster and to transmit movement from the motor to the thruster. The thruster retracts within the housing through the opening. A separate submersible movable hatch is disconnectable from the thruster and the housing and passes externally to the hull, and seals the opening to form a watertight closed chamber. A fluid evacuation device evacuates fluid within the closed chamber so the thruster, when retracted in the housing and closed by the hatch, forms the closed chamber.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a ship for navigating in icy waters, provided in the stern area 3 with a wedge 10 which extends from bottom 4 of the ship downwards transversely to the ship. Wedge 10 is defined by a first surface 11 inclined towards the bow and by a second surface 12 inclined towards stern with respect to a horizontal plane. These two surfaces are connected to each other forming a lower edge 10' of wedge 10. The wedge is at least partially arranged below waterline WL of the ship. The first inclined surface 11 is dimensioned in such a way that in the case of forward motion, the first surface, hit by the flow of water, generates a lift force such as to modify the longitudinal trim of the ship acting as a trim wedge. The second inclined surface is dimensioned in such a way that, in the case of reverse motion in icy waters, it engages the ice first and for the ship acts as a rising chute above the ice itself. The wedge crushes the ice by bending thanks to the weight of the ship itself once the stern of the ship has slid over the ice.

The covering (1) comprises at least a group of covering portions (11, 21, 31 or 41), arranged at different heights the one from the other, so they can be at least partially superimposed the one on the other. The portions are mobile with respect to the fixed structure and one to the other so as to be spatially distributed with respect to the opening (A) in a plurality of different configurations. Each covering portion has a hinging extremity (12, 22, 32, 42), rotationally connected to the structure of the ship, and a support extremity (13, 23, 33 and 43), by means of which it moves in mobile support on a fixed structure of the ship.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a modular semi- submersible structure 1, comprising a platform for boarding various types of structures in the vicinity of coasts or of lake or river banks. The structure 1 comprises two or more semi-submersible modules 10, 10', 10" connected to each other, each of which comprises: - a deck 11 which in conditions of use is emerged and defines a portion of said platform; - a hull 12, which is positioned under the deck, is provided internally with first watertight compartments having a ballast function and in conditions of use is submerged; and - a plurality of columns 13 which structurally connect the hull to the deck and have inside them second watertight compartments having a ballast function. The semi-submersible structure comprises arms 16 which structurally connect adjacent semi-submersible modules to each other. The invention also relates to a method for making such semi-submersible structure.
