Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in container-ships and in particular it relates to improvements intended to increase the speed of handling containers both into and out of a cellular type container-ship and to increase the security of containers normally carried on the deck of container-ships by altering the structural configuration of the superstructure of conventional container-ships.
  • the hatch covers themselves are generally of heavy and robust construction in order to withstand the substantial forces due to the ship's motion in a seaway.
  • releasable protecting devices are provided for the sides of the containers which are above the deck to prevent entering the hold. These devices may be in the form of spray walls which are intended to absorb the movements and forces generated by the bending of the ship.
  • Surge walls can also be located between the guiderails to minimise the amount of water entering the hold.
  • German Specification No. 3134636 discloses a container-ship having a structure 2 provided at the top of the side walls of the ship's hull (see Fig. 1
  • German Specification No. 1947841 discloses a container-ship in which the containers are stacked above the weather deck, a wall structure being provided about the container bearing area for protection of the containers from sea water.
  • British Specification No. 1546396 (which corresponds to French Specification No. 2313255) relates to means for loading and unloading a container-ship and describes a ship having a container-bearing deck which is close to the water line, and optionally being provided with side plates to protect the containers from rain or sea water.
  • the present invention provides a means for the restraint of and for the protection from sea surge and spray of containers.
  • the increased wall depth obviates the need for coamings, detachable sea walls, extended guide rails, and any lashings for the containers.
  • the increased wall depth results in the strength deck on the top of the wall approximating the position of the uppermost container when the ship is fully laden.
  • the deeper ship beam allows a narrower wall width due to increased resistance to bending. It also provides improved torsional resistance in the container-ship.
  • the deeper ship beam also allows less steel to be used in the ship wall without compromise to the overall structural integrity of the ship.
  • the present invention simplifies the container-ship superstructure's configurational design and raises the weather deck to a point whereby the containers are better protected from the elements.
  • the elongated ship wall also provides built-in restraint for the containers when the container-ship pitches and rolls and virtually eliminates the possibility of containers falling into the sea during transit in heavy seas.
  • the term 'weatherdeck' applies to those decks on a ship which are exposed to the elements; the term 'strength deck' applies to the longitudinal structural member or box girder which runs along the top of the ship walls; the term 'freeboard' applies to the vertical distance between sea level and the upper surface of the strength deck.
  • the present invention seeks to ameliorate the aforesaid shortcomings of the prior art container-ship loading configuration and method of containment of cargo by providing an open hull into which containers can be stacked on top of each other in vertical alignment, said containers being retained in position and stabilised by an extended ship sidewall.
  • the present invention reduces the time taken to remove or exchange containerised cargo because no lashing of the containers is required.
  • the containers are restrained by the ship's sides which are extended higher than normal to support the uppermost tier of containers.
  • the present invention provides a ship for transporting freight containers, the ship having a hull comprising a container bearing deck which, when the ship is laden, is located beneath the water line, sidewalls extending upwardly from the said container bearing deck to define a container hold located within the hull, and a strength deck at the top of each of the sidewalls, wherein the depth of the sidewalls is increased such that when the ship is fully laden the position of the said strength deck approximates the level of the uppermost container and the freeboard is increased, the sidewalls thereby providing support for and a weathershield for the uppermost containers, and further characterised in that the hold is an open hold having no hatch covers.
  • the container-ship is essentially 'U'-shaped in cross-section with the walls being extended to a depth considerably greater than has been known previously. This is achieved together with the elimination of the conventional coamings and hatches.
  • the sidewalls are preferably double-skinned sidewalls.
  • the sidewalls preferably extend upwardly from the lateral extremities of the container-bearing deck.
  • the sidewalls and container-bearing deck may define a 'U'-shape.
  • the sidewalls may be continuous with the container-bearing deck.
  • the sidewalls may be strengthened by transverse bulkheads spanning therebetween.
  • the container-bearing deck is preferably cambered either inwardly or outwardly.
  • the containers may be stacked in a vertical alignment from the container-bearing deck and parallel to the sidewalls.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a midship section of a typical ship carrying nine containers high and nine containers wide. It is feasible to employ a number of varied loading configurations within the ship structure depending upon the particular size of a container-ship.
  • the container-ship section shown comprises a substantially U-shaped hull 1 having a container bearing deck 2 and sidewalls 3 and 4.
  • the container bearing deck 2 is, when the ship is floating, below sea level.
  • a hold 5 is formed by the clear passage which exists within the deck 2 and the walls 3 and 4.
  • the containers 6 are placed in hold 5 in the configuration shown in Fig. 1.
  • the containers can be retained transversely and equidistantly by guides 7.
  • the walls 3 and 4 have been made narrower than in conventional container-ships because the thickness can be reduced as a result of a deeper ship beam.
  • At the top of walls 3 and 4 is a box girder forming a strength deck 8.
  • the strength deck 8 is substantially in alignment with the uppermost row of containers 9 and thereby provides lateral restraint and weather protection for the containers.
  • Fig. 1 also shows that the normal hatch comings, hatch covers and associated lashing devices which are used in the prior art container-ships are eliminated.
  • the freeboard of the vessel is increased proportionally and side plating extended up, adjacent to the uppermost row of containers 9 in the stack, thus affording protection of all containers against heavy weather damage.
  • transverse members and bulkheads (not shown), appropriately positioned along the length of the container-ship.
  • the container bearing deck 2 as depicted in Fig. 1, is inwardly cambered towards a centrally located drain 10.
  • the camber is so designed to facilitate the progress of bilge water toward the drain so it can be subsequently pumped out.
  • the elongated walls 3 and 4 provide significant protection for the containers against the elements it is inevitable that some water either from rain or spray will enter the ship. This necessitates the provision of a means for drawing and pumping the water.
  • each hold may be appropriately divided to reduce free surface effects to a minimum and suitable hold pumping arrangements provided.
  • Various methods may be used for keeping the holds drained of rainwater and spray and Figs. 1 and 2 show two alternative methods of draining to bilge hat boxes or drains 11 recessed in the double bottom of the ship.
  • the container bearing deck 2 is adapted with bilge hat boxes at its lateral extremities.
  • the double bottom tanktop may be straight and not cambered as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 with suitable drainage and pumping arrangements provided.
  • Fig. shows an isometric view of the midship portion of a ship fully loaded with containers.
  • the containers 6 are shown bearing on support rails 12 running longitudinally along the ship hull.
  • the vessel may therefore be fully loaded without the use of any lashing devices for the containers.
  • the stability of the vessel is improved and any container may be accessed by the removal of a minimum number of other containers.
