Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a shipping system for the transport of gods and more particularly to such a shipping system for cargo which includes a number for cargo, in the form of containers or similar, to the cargo adapted vessels and a number of ports.
  • Each vessel belonging to this system, shall be arranged for carrying on its flush deck or weather deck of the vessel a number of containers and shall contain water ballast tanks, which can be filled in order to under control lower the vessel or its water line and which under control can be emptied, in order to raise the vessel and its waterline.
  • Each port is adapted for receiving containers, loaded on the vessel's weather deck, when the vessel is lowered, or for leaving containers on the vessel's weather deck, when the vessel is raised.
  • the invention can be considered especially suitable in a coastal- and close range shipping system but is also applicable in shipping cargo on rivers and canals.
  • a number of, for goods transport intended, shipping systems are earlier known and an ordinary system utilises specially built cargo vessels for transporting stacked containers.
  • Such a cargo vessel is destined to different ports and in each of these ports, those containers are discharged, normally one by one, which are destined to this particular port and in that port, those containers are loaded, normally one by one, which are destined to ports within the system, which the cargo vessel later will call.
  • each port must be equipped with specially constructed lifting gear, such as trucks and cranes, which can discharge containers from the cargo vessel and or load containers into the vessel.
  • This superstructure must be self supporting between the flush decks of the catamaran.
  • This invention is intended to present a shipping system for goods transport, including a number of, one or more, for cargo in containers or similar, fitted or adapted vessels and a number of, two or more, ports.
  • Every cargo vessel belonging to this system is fitted or adapted for carrying on the deck of thevessel, in the form of flush deck or weather deck, a number of containers and to include necessary ballast tanks, which can be filled in order to, under control, be able to lower the cargo vessel and can be emptied in order to, under control, be able to raise the vessel.
  • Every port in this system is arranged to receive containers from such a flush deck when the vessel is lowered and to leave containers to such a flush deck in a port when the vessel is raised.
  • this invention suggests that all containers, destined for a first port, shall be arranged in groups on the vessels deck and rest on a platform, that all containers, destined for another port, shall be arranged in groups on the vessels deck and rest on another platform.
  • the latter platform shall be placed fore or aft of the platform with containers destined for the first port and so on.
  • each vessel can leave the platform with containers to the port and if needed pick up another platform, with to one within the shipping system belonging port, destined containers resting on this platform.
  • the system points out that the number of ports chosen should be at least two, practically not more than five.
  • the vessel shall leave, at every port, a platform and fetch or recieve, at every port, a platform, each carrying a number of containers or being fitted with a superstructure for general cargo.
  • the vessel shall be built with a single hull with flush deck areas, both fore and aft of the deckhouse, shaped to be able to carry and hold a number of platforms, each loaded with a number of containers.
  • a number of platforms are suggested which can be carried by a flush deck, which fore shall match the number of platforms, which can be carried by a flush deck, with aft of above mentioned deckhouse.
  • the advantages which mainly can be considered associated with a shipping system, according to the present invention, are that through this qualifications have been created in order to, with low costs of transport, offer a shipping system lenient to the environment, which economically can compete with available land transport systems, where loading and discharging of the vessel at every port can take place without assistance from stevedores and consequently is completely independent of time.
  • figure 1 shows the principles for a shipping system for goods transport, where one and the same cargo vessel leaves one port and is assumed to be able to call four other ports during a round trip, in order to, at each port, leave one platform and fetch one platform,

  • Each port A, B, C, and D is intended to have a prepared platform A 1, B 1, C 1, and D 1, placed in the port structure and each of these platforms is loaded with containers filled with cargo.
  • Each of these platforms is furthermore intended to be destined to a fifth port E, viz. where the loading of the four platforms with empty containers took place.
  • figure 1 intends to exemplify the basic requirements for this invention in one for goods transport designed shipping system, where one vessel 1 leaves a port E loaded with four platforms a, b, c, and d, each destined for and intended to be discharged at each of a number of ports A, B, C, and D and it is furthermore assumed that those containers which are loaded on the four platforms a, b, c, and d are all empty.
  • the vessel 1 After departure from port A the vessel 1 is loaded with platforms c, A 1 and d, b. The vessel now calls at port B and discharges there two platforms, d and b, to assigned port areas b 1 and b 2. Thereafter the vessel shifts in order to load a platform B 1, at area b 4, and returns to pick up the earlier discharged platform d, at area b 1.
  • the vessel 1 When the vessel now sails towards the port C, the vessel 1 carries the platforms c, A 1 and B 1, d.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de transport de marchandises, consistant en un ou plusieurs navires (1) adaptés à des marchandises se présentant sous la forme de conteneurs ou similaire, et en un certain nombre, au moins deux, de ports (A, B, C, D). Chaque navire de marchandises (1) appartenant au système est conçu pour transporter un certain nombre de conteneurs sur le pont et comporte les ballasts nécessaires destinés à se remplir en vue d'abaisser le navire sous contrôle, et à se vider en vue de relever le navire. Tous les conteneurs destinés à un premier port (A) sont disposés sur le pont du navire par groupes sur une plate-forme (a), et tous les conteneurs destinés à un autre port (B) sont disposés sur le pont du navire par groupes sur une autre plate-forme (b). A chaque port (A) le navire respectif (1) laisse la plate-forme respective (a) avec les conteneurs destinés au port et prend une autre plate-forme (A1) chargée de conteneurs destinés à un autre port (E) faisant partie du système de transport maritime.
