ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, method and system for rescuing persons and distressed vessels, up to about 50 tons displacement, in foul weather and for transporting loaded full sized truck/ship containers or other loads by water. Two pairs of long straight pontoons, each having five articulated short pontoon segments, support an upper framework formed by six articulatable legs, three on either side. The legs allow the height and span of the craft to be varied. They are connected to and support a central control pod. The control pod contains winches for the support of a vessel or of other loads under the control pod using two slings. A compartment under the control pod can be created by lowering a bottom platform with cables which support the sides of the platform.
