Definitions

  • the invention relates to an autonomous container ship. allowing container transport from ports large equipped with loading and unloading means to small ports without such equipment.
  • the invention relates to a range of small and medium-sized vessels for transporting goods from small ports to small ports using containers.
  • This range is made up of vessels making it possible to transport a maximum number of containers equal to two, four, ten, twenty, thirty, fifty, one hundred.
  • 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, lower water depth at 4 meters.
  • the purpose is the assumption by the carriers container trucks from these ports for local distribution, in order to optimize distances ground delivery.
  • One of the objectives of the present invention is to put at the service of the road carrier a mobile infrastructure "maritime-river highway" complementary to that of which has on the road network.
  • a second objective is to strengthen the responsiveness of the maritime-road transport by transporting small quantities with important frequencies.
  • a third objective is to provide a river-maritime service with significant operating autonomy, a optimized platform-to-platform route and unloading / loading adapted to these constraints. This goal involves being able to carry a payload important compared to the displacement of the ship.
  • a fourth objective is to provide transportation in service and cost conditions per kilometer comparable to those on the road.
  • the subject of the invention is an autonomous container ship, like as described in claim 1.
  • the vessel according to the invention makes it possible to carry a large payload relative to its This goal is achieved with equipment providing common energy for propulsion and handling and handling means serving both on the ship and ashore.
  • the range of vessels according to the invention includes ships capable of carrying 2,4,10,20,30,50 and 100 containers.
  • the tonnage of the range of vessels according to the invention is mentioned in the table below: Number of containers 2 4 10 20 30 50 100 Overall length (m) 25 35 48 65 74 88 111 Tonnage (t) 100 200 500 1000 1500 2500 5000
  • the hull may be of the monohull type.
  • it can be of the type "beacher”, that is to say the type of vessel that can disembark loads on a gently sloping bank or on a beach.
  • it can be catamaran type or monohull mixed type at the front and aft catamaran, or a hull type with tunnels.
  • Propulsion can be provided by diesel, shaft line and propellers.
  • the propulsion is provided by hydrojet.
  • the propulsion is provided by pumpjet.
  • Propulsion can also be ensured by a device known under the name "azimuthal POD" manufactured by the SCHOTTEL company.
  • the means of propulsion can be actuated by diesel engine, electric motor or discoid motor.
  • Container handling can be done at using a crane, gantry crane, forklift or of a container trolley.
  • the means of balancing the vessel may be constituted by a controlled ballast system by means of pumps which ensure the movement of water in the vessel from ballast in ballast to compensate for the deposit or the plate.
  • the balancing means can be constituted by a inflatable buoy system; these inflatable buoys can be integrated on the side of the ship to increase inertia flotation and limit the deposit and the base of the ship during handling operations.
  • the balancing means can also be constituted by a solid mass transfer system.
  • a mass solid moves in the ship to compensate for the displacement of the mass of the containers during the operations of handling.
  • the ship must be capable of being constructed to a cost allowing investors an alternative to truck transport.
  • the vessel must carry a payload important compared to its displacement.
  • Equipment must be the most versatile possible, which implies a common energy for the propulsion and handling, handling means serving both on the ship and ashore, means of propulsion ensuring both the cruising speed of the ship, speed in estuaries and ports and the maneuverability in ports, means of balancing the ship at sea used to balance the ship during handling operations.
  • the represented ship has a shaped hull monohull allowing a speed between 15 and 20 knots.
  • the necessary energy is supplied by diesel-alternator.
  • the propulsion means consist of diesel, shaft lines and propellers 4.
  • the loading and unloading operations of containers are carried out using a crane 2 mounted at the back of the ship.
  • Balancing of the vessel is ensured by ballasting.
  • the the vessel’s house is constantly checked during operations handling by a pump system.
  • Figure 2 is a top view of the ship in Figure 1 where we see the crane 2 mounted at the rear.
  • the represented ship has a flat hull in the bottom 5 allowing a cruising speed between 10 and 12 nds and a "beahage", that is to say a docking on a gently sloping bank or on a beach.
  • the "beaching" can take place by rear with rear-wheel drive.
  • the necessary energy is supplied by diesel-alternator.
  • the propulsion means consist of diesel, shaft lines and propellers 4.
  • Handling operations are carried out using of a forklift 6 and unloading by a ramp 7 on a beach or a hold.
  • Balancing of the vessel is ensured by ballasting.
  • a preferred variant consists of loading and unload the containers by a rear ramp, the ship then having propulsion means on the front with a more streamlined hull shape providing better navigation possibilities.
  • the trim of the ship's trim is done using ballasts filled with water by pumps.
  • the vessel shown has a flat hull 5 allowing a "beaching" and a cruising speed included between
  • Beaching can take place from the front with propulsion rear or rear with front-wheel drive.
  • the necessary energy is supplied by diesel-alternator or by diesel-electric.
  • Propulsion is provided by pumpjets.
  • Handling is ensured by a self-propelled gantry 8 and unloading by a ramp 9 at the rear.
  • the balancing of the vessel is ensured by a system of pumps and ballasts.
