发明名称 Controlling system and method for controlling a floating arrangement
摘要 A controlling system is used for controlling a state of a floating arrangement comprising plurality of containers, such as shipping or standard freight containers, especially consistent with ISO standard. At least some of the containers comprise a float arrangement having e.g. intra-container water-displacing volumes, such as an inflatable bag, which can be used for displacing water from the container when the inflatable bag is filled or for letting more water entering into the container when the inflatable bag is emptied, and thereby manipulating the buoyancy or draft of the container and thus also the same of the pontoon platform comprising said container(s). The state of the container and thus the floating arrangement can be controlled by operating the float arrangement by the controlling system, such as manipulating the inflatable bags or other state changing means of the float arrangement, such as propellers or supporting means.

主权项 1. A controlling system for controlling a state of a floating arrangement, wherein the floating arrangement comprises: at least two interconnected floating standard freight containers configured to form said floating arrangement, and a controllable device for changing a floating state of at least one container of the floating arrangement and thereby the floating state of the floating arrangement, and the controlling system is configured to: receive state information related to at least one container or the arrangement,compare said received state information to desired state information and based on the comparison provide control information for at least to one controllable device to change state of the of at least one container and thereby the state of the floating arrangement towards said desired state, andoperate the controllable device of the float arrangement based on said provided control information in order to achieve said desired state of said floating arrangement.
