Abstract:
A pumpskid comprises a frame adapted for connection to a remotely operated vehicle for positioning thereby. A male connector mounted on the frame is adapted for engagement with the suction port on a suction anchor. Clamping apparatus is provided for securing the male connector in engagement with the suction port of the suction anchor and thereby clamping the pumpskid in engagement with the suction anchor. A pump mounted on the frame is connected in fluid communication with the male connector by piping sections which include a port open to the surrounding sea. Valves and valve actuators are provided for causing the pump to cause water flow out of or into the suction anchor, as required.

Inventors:
Frederick H. Culver - Covington LA
Assignee:
Fritz Culver, Inc. - Covington LA
International Classification:
B63B 2104

Abstract:
A retractable towing pin unit is provided for use on marine vessels as a guide for tow lines which extend overboard. The unit is designed to be installed in pairs on the deck of a marine vessel for centering the lines therebetween. The unit includes a pin mounted on a platform which is pivotable between a lower, inoperative position and an upper, operative position. An inflatable actuator device operable by pressurized air is mounted underneath the platform to raise and lower the pin between extended and retracted positions relative to the deck of the vessel. When not in use, the pin is safely retracted out of the way and flush with the deck.
