Abstract[English]
A container support assembly (38) for supporting a container (36) on a deck (56) of a sea vessel (50) includes a load distribution platform (82) configured to be fixedly attached to the deck (56) of the sea vessel (50) and a support frame (80) configured to receive the container (36) and be positionable over the load distribution platform (82). The support frame (80) is movable relative to the load distribution platform (82) between a raised position and a lowered position. In the raised position, the support frame (80) is spaced from the load distribution platform (82) so the position of the support frame (80) relative to the load distribution platform (82) is adjustable. In the lowered position, the support frame (80) engages the load distribution platform (82) so the load presented by the container (36) is distributed over the deck (56) of the sea vessel (50) via the load distribution platform (82). A method of replacing a component (40b) of an offshore wind turbine (10) using the container support assembly (38) is also disclosed.[French]
La présente invention concerne un ensemble de support de conteneur (38) pour supporter un conteneur (36) sur un pont (56) d'un navire marin (50) comprenant une plateforme de distribution de charge (82) configurée pour être fixée de manière fixe au pont (56) du navire marin (50) et un cadre de support (80) configuré pour recevoir le conteneur (36) et être positionnable sur la plateforme de distribution de charge (82). Le cadre de support (80) est mobile par rapport à la plateforme de distribution de charge (82) entre une position relevée et une position abaissée. Dans la position relevée, le cadre de support (80) est espacé de la plateforme de distribution de charge (82) de sorte que la position du cadre de support (80) par rapport à la plateforme de distribution de charge (82) est réglable. Dans la position abaissée, le cadre de support (80) vient en prise avec la plateforme de distribution de charge (82) de telle sorte que la charge présentée par le conteneur (36) est distribuée sur le pont (56) du navire marin (50) par l'intermédiaire de la plateforme de distribution de charge (82). L'invention concerne également un procédé de remplacement d'un composant (40b) d'une éolienne en mer (10) à l'aide de l'ensemble de support de conteneur (38).
