593259 Disclosed is a hydroelectric turbine support system including a shipping vessel for transporting the turbine to a deployment site. The support system comprises a base on which the turbine is supported on the seabed during use, the base and vessel being designed to allow the base to be retained beneath the vessel. The base and vessel are adapted to facilitate the stable support of the ship above the base when the system is partially or fully out of water during periods of low tide while the base is free standing on a bottom of a body of water without damage to either the base or the vessel. The vessel and the base are provided with complementary coupling portions that substantially prevent the relative movement of the base and vessel when the system is partially or fully out of water. |
