Ce navire permet d'assurer le transport de conteneurs des ports importants équipés de moyens de chargement et de déchargement à des petits ports dépourvus de tels équipements.This vessel is used to transport containers of important ports equipped with means of loading and unloading at small ports without such equipment.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne une gamme de petits et moyens navires permettant d'assurer le transport de marchandises de petits ports en petits ports au moyen de conteneurs.More particularly, the invention relates to a range of small and medium-sized vessels for transporting goods from small ports to small ports using containers.
Cette gamme est composée de navires pouvant transporter un nombre maximum de conteneurs égal à deux, quatre, dix, vingt, trente, cinquante, cent.This range is made up of ships that can transport a maximum number of containers equal to two, four, ten, twenty, thirty, fifty, one hundred.
Une caractéristique principale du navire est son entière autonomie offrant la possibilité de charger ou/et décharger. des conteneurs dans un port non équipé de moyens de manutention et ayant une profondeur d'eau faible, inférieure à 4 mètres.A main feature of the ship is its whole autonomy offering the possibility of charging or / and discharging. containers in a port not equipped with means of handling and having a shallow water depth, less than 4 meters.
Le transport de marchandises constitue, en effet, un des rouages majeurs de notre économie de marché.The transport of goods is, in fact, one of the major cogs in our market economy.
La globalisation des échanges internationaux, le développement des politiques de "juste à temps", la demande de réactivité toujours plus forte, tendent à accroítre en permanence les transports terrestres, à développer des infrastructures routières coûteuses et nuisibles à l'environnement.The globalization of international trade, the development of "just in time" policies, the demand for ever stronger reactivity, tend to increase in permanently land transport, to develop costly and harmful road infrastructure the environment.
La gamme de navires selon l'invention est née de cette analyse avec le souci de développer une complémentarité entre le transport routier et le transport maritimo-fluvial.The range of vessels according to the invention was born from this analysis with the concern to develop a complementarity between road transport and maritime-river transport.
Il s'agit d'assurer, à partir des ports de premier ou de deuxième rang, des liaisons maritimes pour desservir la multitude de ports d'irrigation, peu ou pas exploités en matière de transport de marchandises.It is a question of ensuring, starting from the ports of first or second, maritime links to serve the multitude of irrigation ports, little or not exploited in goods transportation.
La finalité est la prise en charge par les transporteurs routiers des conteneurs à partir de ces ports pour distribution locale, afin d'optimiser les distances terrestres de livraison. The purpose is the assumption by the carriers container trucks from these ports for local distribution, in order to optimize land distances Delivery.
Un des objectifs de la présente invention est de mettre au service du transporteur routier une infrastructure mobile "autoroute maritimo-fluviale" complémentaire à celle dont il dispose sur le réseau routier.One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide road carrier service mobile infrastructure "maritime-river highway" complementary to that of which has on the road network.

Un troisième objectif est d'assurer un service fluvio-maritime avec une autonomie de manoeuvre importante, un trajet quai à quai optimisé et des systèmes de déchargement/chargement adaptés à ces contraintes. Cet objectif implique de pouvoir transporter une charge utile importante par rapport au déplacement du navire.A third objective is to provide a river-maritime service with considerable autonomy of maneuver, a journey optimized dock and dock systems unloading / loading adapted to these constraints. This goal involves being able to carry a payload important compared to the displacement of the ship.
Un quatrième objectif est d'assurer le transport dans des conditions de service et de coûts au kilomètre comparables à ceux de la route.A fourth objective is to provide transportation in service and cost conditions per kilometer comparable to those on the road.
Il existe de nombreux navires porte-conteneurs d'une capacité d'emport de conteneurs importante et avec un tirant d'eau élevé, tels que ceux décrits dans Jane's Intermodal Transportation, pages 315,338 et 341. Parmi ces navires porte-conteneurs de grande capacité, on peut citer l'ALIANCA BRASIL, d'une capacité de 2200 conteneurs, d'une vitesse de 20,4 noeuds, d'une longueur de 200,23 m et d'un tirant d'eau de 12,02 m.Un des plus petits de ces navires porte-conteneurs est le HERA, d'une capacité de 198 conteneurs, d'une vitesse de 12,5 noeuds, d'une longueur de 88 m et d'un tirant d'eau de 4,6 m.There are many container ships of a large container carrying capacity and with a tie rod high water, such as those described in Jane's Intermodal Transportation, pages 315,338 and 341. Among these container ships high capacity, we can cite the ALIANCA BRASIL, with a capacity of 2200 containers, with a speed of 20.4 knots, 200.23 m long and with a draft of One of the smallest of these container ships is HERA, with a capacity of 198 containers, with a speed of 12.5 knots, 88 m long and a draft of 4.6 m.
Ces porte-conteneurs déchargent généralement dans des terminaux portuaires équipés d'importants moyens de manutention. Les ports pouvant recevoir les porte-conteneurs existants sont peu nombreux et ne permettent pas d'assurer une livraison des marchandises proche de leur lieu d'utilisation.These container ships generally unload in port terminals equipped with significant means of handling. Ports that can accommodate container ships existing are few in number and do not provide a delivery of goods close to their place of use.
La carène peut être de différents types.The hull can be of different types.
Elle peut être de type monocoque.It can be of the monohull type.
Elle peut également être de type multicoques, catamaran ou trimaran, selon qu'elle se compose de deux ou trois coques. It can also be of the multihull, catamaran or trimaran, depending on whether it consists of two or three hulls.
