STRUCTURE FOR THE OFFSHORE INSTALLATION OF AT LEAST ONE WIND TURBINE OR UNDERWATER GENERATOR, AND METHODS FOR TRANSPORT AND OFFSHORE INSTALLATION OF AT LEAST ONE WIND TURBINE OR UNDERWATER GENERATOR

摘要

A structure for transport and offshore installation of at least one wind turbine or underwater generator includes a U-shaped floating hull having lateral arms. Each lateral arm has at least one leg vertically movable by the hull in flotation, and at least one assembly for supporting a wind turbine or underwater generator. The assembly includes two shuttles opposite each other and each combined with a leg and each having higher and lower pairs of arms which are pivotably movable between a retracted position and an active position tilted against a mast of the wind turbine or underwater generator.
