Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for converting a cargo ship, in particular an inland cargo ship, according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to cargo receptacles according to the preambles of claims 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 16 and 20.
  • the object of the invention is to create a method for converting cargo ships and cargo receptacles, which ensures cost-effective transportation which meets the requirements.
  • a method for solving the problem on which the invention is based has the measures of claim 1.
  • the arrangement of cargo receptacles in the cargo hold (or in the cargo holds) corresponding to the particular cargo makes it particularly easy and quick to convert inland vessels so that they are optimally adapted to the particular cargo. This enables full utilization of the load capacity.
  • the same barge can be converted into a special ship corresponding to the respective load (or the respective loads) within a very short time by using appropriate cargo receptacles.
  • an inland waterway vessel for the transport of general cargo can be converted into an offshore waterway vessel for the transport of liquids or gases, the retrofitting being carried out simultaneously with the loading and unloading of the respective ship by using load receptacles adapted to the respective load.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the method according to the invention provides that the cargo receptacles are held and / or locked in the or each cargo hold of the respective ship by stowage structures (cell structures).
  • the scaffolding scaffolds are usually those that are used in container ships and are connected to the ship.
  • the stowage frames are fastened in or in each loading space and form upright guides for corresponding guides or corners of the load carriers.
  • the stowage structures can be designed such that they guide the load carriers stowed in the loading space or also protrude from the loading space for guidance of stacked load receptacles above the deck level.
  • cargo receptacles of any type can be stowed one above the other and next to one another in the same stowage structure.
  • the cargo receptacles have the usual container dimensions
  • the corners of the cargo receptacles are used to guide them in the upright columns of the storage structures.
  • separate guide means in particular storage columns, are provided on the load carriers, which bring about adaptation of larger or smaller load receptacles to the stowage frames provided for conventional containers.
  • a plurality of charge receptacles are usually arranged in the hold or in the hold. According to the invention, these can be both identical charge receptacles for the same charge as well as different charge recordings. In the latter case, different loads can be transported on the same ship.
  • a special-purpose ship then becomes a multi-purpose ship by arranging precisely those cargo receptacles that are required for the respective cargo in the hold. This means that a ship can be fully loaded even if the respective type of cargo alone is not sufficient to fully load the entire ship.
  • the conversion is preferably carried out by loading or unloading the ship with the loaded cargo receptacles.
  • a charge pick-up to achieve the object on which the invention is based has the features of claim 4. Accordingly, this charge pick-up has a specially dimensioned base area.
  • a first, (shorter) direction of extension of the base corresponds to the dimensions of standardized 20 'containers.
  • the base area is preferably larger than the corresponding dimension of a standardized 20 ′ container.
  • a further charge acceptance to achieve the object on which the invention is based has the features of claim 5. Accordingly, opposite end faces of the containers or frames forming the charge receptacle are provided with stowage means.
  • the stowage means serve to stack and connect several load receptacles.
  • the stowage means serve the handling of the cargo receptacles according to the invention by a Allow connection with hoists of standardized containers (e.g. spreader).
  • the stowage means are preferably designed as vertically extending stowage columns.
  • the storage columns absorb the forces when the load receptacles are stacked on top of one another and form the grid for the corner fittings arranged at the ends thereof.
  • the load receptacles can be individually designed to adapt to the respective (special) load.
  • the stowage columns are arranged at opposite ends of the container or frame at a distance from the corners of the container or frame. The distance between the two storage columns and each end corresponds to the width dimension of standardized 20 'containers.
  • the length of the storage columns is such that they are flush with the underside of the charge receptacles, but preferably protrude from the top of the charge receptacles. Due to the flush closure of the stowage columns with the underside of the cargo receptacles, it is possible to support them over the entire surface of the cargo hold floor of ships, which is thereby loaded flat and not punctiform. The floor of the cargo hold therefore does not need to have any reinforcements as are necessary for containers.
  • the protrusion of the stowage columns from the top of the load receptacles means that when the load receptacles are stacked one on top of the other, the tops thereof, for example, which are provided with lids, remain unloaded and thus do not have to statically bear the load of the load receptacles stacked over lower load receptacles.
  • a further charge pick-up serving to achieve the object on which the invention is based has the features of the claim 8 on. Accordingly, this charge holder has a watertight and / or buoyant container.
  • the watertight design of the containers has the advantage that the holds in which the load receptacles according to the invention are located do not have to be covered. Furthermore, the cargo receptacles can be temporarily stored outdoors because they serve as storage sheds due to their water resistance.
  • the load receptacles can be stored in the harbor basin or the like. Individual or multiple coupled charge receptacles can also be transported floating, for example on rivers. For this purpose, several charge receptacles are preferably connected to form a push or towing unit.
  • Another advantage of the buoyant design of the cargo receptacles is that after an accident, for example, the cargo receptacles float up and form their own small floating bodies which, if the ship sinks, result in the cargo remaining intact, namely not sinking.
  • the waterproof and buoyant design is particularly suitable for loading loads for people such as living containers. Thanks to their buoyant training, the living containers then form lifeboats in an emergency.
  • extendable supports are provided in connection with load receptacles serving as living containers. These supports make it possible to raise the living containers in the hold so far that at least the windows are above the deck.
  • the residential containers are raised so far that the threshold of a door is approximately flush with the deck, so that one can get from the deck of the ship without overcoming a significant step through the door into the residential container.
  • it is provided to provide the living container with dampers that prevent the transmission of shocks and vibrations on the ship Prevent housing containers.
  • vibration dampers are expediently integrated in the supports.
  • a further charge acceptance to achieve the object on which the invention is based has the features of claim 10. Accordingly, a frame or frame parts are provided which make it possible to stack and lift several load receptacles even when loaded. From a large number of load receptacles stacked in this way, a special ship for transporting vehicles, in particular cars, can be formed with little effort.
  • the opposite end faces of the load receptacles are provided with sufficiently large openings for the passage of motor vehicles.
  • consecutive cargo receptacles form a carriageway that can optionally extend through the entire hold of the ship.
  • a further charge acceptance to achieve the object on which the invention is based has the features of claim 13.
  • the bottom of the charge holder is designed so that it can be opened.
  • the floor is preferably divided in the middle in the longitudinal direction of the charge receptacle, so that the roadways running in the longitudinal direction of the charge receptacle can be pivoted away to the side.
  • the floor of the load receptacles thereby opened makes it possible to hoist vehicles which are to be accommodated in other load receptacles through the load receptacle with the floor currently open. This means that the load receptacles can remain in the hold of the respective ship for the complete loading and unloading of a ship with vehicles.
  • the cargo receptacles according to the invention thus make it possible to create a car transport ship in which the cargo receptacles can remain in the hold if the ship is used several times for vehicle transport. It is only necessary to remove the load receptacles from the ship in order to convert the ship for the transport of other goods, which is preferably done together with the unloading of the vehicles.
  • the charge receptacles are designed such that at least one floor plan dimension can be changed.
  • the plan dimensions can preferably be changed by the stacking columns.
  • two sets of stacking columns are provided, namely four stacking columns that are firmly connected to one another to form a base frame, the dimensions of which are smaller than the dimensions of a standardized 20 'container, and four further stacking columns, which are opposite to the first set of stacking columns in their The position can be changed in such a way that they expand the outer dimensions of the stacking container to the dimensions of a standardized 20 'container.
  • This load pick-up has a frame with a lifting device.
  • This lifting device is preferably designed in such a way that interchangeable platforms or the like can be raised and lowered with it.
  • the interchangeable platforms are surrounded by a stable frame. This frame of the load pick-up makes it possible to move the interchangeable platforms with lifting devices used for container transport and to stack several interchangeable platforms, even if they have an unstable plan structure.
  • the loads of upper swap bodies are then taken from the frame of the cargo receptacles; the interchangeable beds themselves, however, are not charged.
  • pressure medium cylinders to the lifting device at least one pressure accumulator.
  • This pressure accumulator absorbs the energy released when the swap body is lowered and stores it. This energy can be reused when lifting the interchangeable platform, so that only a residual energy has to be supplied to lift the interchangeable platform. As a rule, this residual energy is relatively small because it is essentially only energy losses when lowering and restarting the lifting device.
  • the present invention relates to converting a cargo ship, in particular an inland ship, into one Special ship and to load loads for different goods or people.
  • FIG. 1 used to explain the method according to the invention shows (in simplified form) a cargo ship, namely an inland waterway vessel 40.

  • the barge 40 is also possible to design the barge 40 as, for example, a pure tanker.
  • the loading space 41 is then completely provided with charge receptacles 46. If only motor vehicles are to be transported with the same barge 40 at a different time, it can be converted into one Motor vehicle transporter by exchanging the load receptacles 46 for load receptacles 47, this expediently being retrofitted with loaded load receptacles 46 and 47, respectively.
  • retrofitting takes place automatically during loading and unloading, which is facilitated by at least one stowage frame on board the inland ship 40. The same procedure can be used with the other load receptacles.
  • the charge receptacles 44..50 are stacked on two levels one above the other, that is, they protrude above the coaming 51 of the cargo space.
  • the load receptacles 44 ... 50 stacked over the coaming edge 51 are secured by stowage structures that partially protrude from the loading space. In this way, the barge 40 can be loaded until the permissible loading capacity is used. It is not necessary to close the cargo hold 41 because the cargo on inland waterway vessel 40 is only to be protected against rainwater.

If necessary, several load receivers 44..46 and 48..50 can be connected to one another to form a towing or pushing unit.
  • the floating design of the cargo receptacles 44..46 and 48..50 furthermore, when the barge 40 sinks (for example after an accident), causes the cargo receptacles 44..46 and 48..50 to float and the cargo does not sink. In the event of an emergency, the cargo receptacles 50 used to hold people form lifeboats at the same time.
