Abstract

The ship has an open or semi open main public space (4), which is situated around the axial longitudinal plane of the ship at the base of the port, and starboard longitudinal superstructures (3). The port and superstructures are located away from the axial longitudinal plane so that the ratio of the width of the superstructures and public space to that of the ship lies between 1.3 and 3.

Description

La présente invention concerne un navire de croisière ou de loisirs de grande largeur. Ce navire possède un espace public central ouvert ou semi-ouvert bordé par des superstructures longitudinales. On entend ici par espace public un espace composé de une ou plusieurs zones dédiées principalement à l'usage des passagers.The present invention relates to a cruise ship or wide leisure activities. This vessel has a open or semi-open central public space bordered by longitudinal superstructures. Here we mean by space public a space composed of one or more dedicated zones mainly for passenger use.

Les navires destinés aux loisirs sont traditionnellement des monocoques composés de ponts dont la largeur est identique ou proche de la largeur du navire à la flottaison. Les espaces publics extérieurs sont généralement situés sur le pont supérieur. Certains concepts innovants de navire ont été développés pour répondre à une demande toujours croissante d'augmenter le nombre cabines et de locaux donnant sur l'extérieur. Ainsi, certains concepts de navire possèdent un espace public principal longitudinal de grandes dimensions situé sur un pont inférieur, espace bordé de superstructures longitudinales verticales bâbord et tribord où sont logés des cabines ou d'autres locaux. Ces concepts de navire ont une largeur trop faible pour obtenir une distance suffisante entre les superstructures longitudinales : la coupe transversale en forme proche du U de ces concepts de navire ne permet pas d'obtenir un volume d'air au-dessus de l'espace public principal suffisamment large pour que l'espace public et les cabines et locaux donnant sur l'espace public soient conviviaux, agréables et suffisamment ensoleillés. Elargir entièrement le navire n'est pas viable, principalement pour des raisons d'inconfort au roulis et de surcoûts de construction et d'exploitation.Recreational vessels are traditionally monohulls composed of bridges whose width is the same or close to the width of the ship at the waterline. Outdoor public spaces are usually located on the upper deck. Some innovative vessel concepts have been developed for meet an ever increasing demand to increase the number of cabins and premises overlooking the outside. So, some ship concepts have public space major longitudinal main located on a lower deck, space bordered by superstructures longitudinal vertical port and starboard where are housed cabins or other premises. These ship concepts have a width too small to obtain a distance sufficient between the longitudinal superstructures: the cross section in shape close to the U of these concepts of vessel does not provide air volume above the main public space large enough for public space and cabins and premises overlooking public spaces are friendly, pleasant and sufficiently sunny. Extend the ship entirely is not viable, mainly for reasons roll discomfort and additional construction costs and operating.

Le type de navire selon cette invention permet de répondre aux demandes d'espaces extérieurs nombreux et conviviaux tout en répondant aux exigences de confort et de sécurité. Il comporte un espace public principal de grandes dimensions situé sur un pont inférieur, espace bordé de superstructures longitudinales bâbord et tribord. Les oeuvres vives du navire sont de proportions classiques, adaptées aux exigences de confort, de stabilité et de résistances à l'avancement. La coupe transversale du navire a une forme proche du V, les superstructures longitudinales possédant une inclinaison transversale d'ensemble. Cette inclinaison d'ensemble donne à l'espace public principal situé au pied des superstructures longitudinales un meilleur ensoleillement et crée un esprit de gradins de stade. En cas d'envahissement, la forme d'ensemble du navire entraíne une augmentation de la largeur à la flottaison lorsque le navire s'enfonce et améliore ainsi sensiblement la stabilité du navire, celle-ci dépendant directement de l'inertie transversale de flottaison. De plus, cette forme d'ensemble, en éloignant les masses de l'axe longitudinal, augmente la période de roulis du navire et améliore ainsi le confort du passager.The type of vessel according to this invention makes it possible to meet the demands of numerous outdoor spaces and user-friendly while meeting the requirements of comfort and security. It has a main public space of large dimensions located on a lower deck, space bordered by longitudinal port and starboard superstructures. The lively works of the ship are of classical proportions, adapted to the requirements of comfort, stability and resistance to advancement. The cross section of the ship has a shape close to V, the longitudinal superstructures having an overall transverse inclination. This overall inclination gives to the main public space located at the foot of the longitudinal superstructures a better sunshine and creates a spirit of bleachers of Stadium. In the event of invasion, the overall shape of the vessel causes an increase in width at the flotation when the ship sinks and thus improves significantly the stability of the ship, this dependent directly from the transverse flotation inertia. Of more, this whole form, by moving the masses away from the longitudinal axis, increases the roll period of the ship and thus improves passenger comfort.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :

  • La figure 1 représente en coupe transversale le principe de l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente en coupe transversale une variante de ce principe.
    • The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
  • Figure 1 shows in cross section the principle of the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows in cross section a variant of this principle.

    • En référence à ces dessins, le navire comporte une structure principale (1) dont la part située sous le niveau de flottaison (2) constitue les oeuvres vives. Les proportions des oeuvres vives sont classiques, adaptées aux exigences de confort, de stabilité et de résistances à l'avancement. Un espace public principal ouvert ou semi-ouvert de grandes dimensions (4) est situé sur la structure principale (1). Le navire comporte des superstructures bâbord et tribord longitudinales (3) qui s'élèvent avec une inclinaison transversale d'ensemble. Cette inclinaison doit être telle qu'elle augmente l'ensoleillement de l'espace public principal inférieur (4) et qu'elle augmente sensiblement la largeur totale du navire au-dessus de la flottaison. Le rapport de la largeur du navire (5) sur la largeur à la flottaison (6) peut varier de 1,3 à 3, l'angle d'ouverture moyen de la façade interne (7) pouvant varier de 15 degrés à 60 degrés.With reference to these drawings, the ship has a main structure (1) whose part located below the level buoyancy (2) constitutes the live works. The proportions of the vivid works are classic, adapted to requirements for comfort, stability and resistance to advancement. An open or semi-open main public space large (4) is located on the structure main (1). The ship has superstructures longitudinal port and starboard (3) which rise with a overall transverse inclination. This inclination must be such that it increases the sunshine of space lower main audience (4) and increasing substantially the total width of the vessel above the waterline. The ratio of the width of the vessel (5) to the waterline width (6) can vary from 1.3 to 3, the angle average opening of the internal facade (7) which can vary from 15 degrees to 60 degrees.

    Le navire peut être fabriqué avec les matériaux et équipements couramment utilisés dans la construction de navires de croisière.The vessel can be manufactured with the materials and equipment commonly used in the construction of cruise ships.

    A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le navire peut avoir une largeur à la flottaison de 32 mètres et une largeur hors tout de 58 mètres, pour une longueur hors tout de 250 mètres. Les superstructures longitudinales et l'espace public principal peuvent s'étendre sur les 3 quarts arrières du navire, le quart avant étant constitué d'une zone pleine toute largeur dédiée à des espaces publics et à la timonerie. La partie arrière de cette zone pleine qui liaisonne les superstructures longitudinales bâbord et tribord peut être constituée de gradins qui créent la forme d'ensemble d'un amphithéâtre. L'arrière du navire peut être aménagé en marina.By way of nonlimiting example, the ship can have a waterline width of 32 meters and a width overall of 58 meters, for an overall length of 250 meters. Longitudinal superstructures and space main audience can span 3 quarters aft of the ship, the fore quarter consisting of a full width full area dedicated to public spaces and the wheelhouse. The rear part of this solid area which connects the port side longitudinal superstructures and starboard can consist of steps that create the shape of an amphitheater. The back of the ship can be converted into a marina.

    Le navire selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la croisière.The ship according to the invention is particularly intended for cruising.
