ABSTRACT:
A support system for a marine turbine installation including at least one turbine unit (3), the support system including a support column (1) or two or more support columns (1) which are arranged to be installed vertically, characterised by a turbine support assembly (2/14) including a horizontally arranged turbine support structure (4/15) adapted for displacement lengthways of the associated support column or columns, at least two turbine units (3) operationally carried by the support structure and means (41/44, 26/41, 52/55, 65/66) for enabling selective displacement of the support member (4, 15) lengthways of the associated column or columns, and in that the support structure includes an elongate member profiled in such manner that when the flow of water relative to the support assembly is bi-directional, the support structure member is so profiled so as to minimise water flow disturbance what ever the direction of the bi-directional water flow.
