Abstract

A seagoing vessel, particularly a passenger vessel, comprises a hull that has at least one overhang that is located above water. This overhang causes the length of the vessel to exceed beyond a measure permitted by length limitations posed by pilotage waters. In order to preserve the useful load carrying capacity of the seagoing vessel, the portion of the overhang of the stem that constitutes the exceeding beyond the permitted measure is provided in the form of at least one structural unit that, when required, can be reversibly manipulated by a measure such as folding it away, removing it or the like.

Description

Seeschiff, insbesondere PassagierschiffSeagoing vessels, especially passenger ships
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Seeschiff, insbesondere ein Passagierschiff, dessen Rumpf wenigstens einen über- wasserseitigen Überhang aufweist, der eine Überschreitung der Schiffslänge über ein aufgrund revierbedingter Längenbeschränkungen zulässiges Maß hinaus bedingt.The invention relates to a sea-going ship, in particular a passenger ship, the hull of which has at least one overhang on the water side, which causes the length of the ship to be exceeded beyond what is permissible due to length restrictions due to the region.
Revierbedingte Längenbeschränkungen sind z. B. für das Passieren von Kanalschleusen zu beachten. Seeschiffe, die diese Abmessungen einhalten müssen, weisen notwendigerweise geringere Nutztragfähigkeit auf als Schiffe, die für das Passieren der jeweiligen Schiffahrtstraße, z. B. des Panamakanals, noch zulässige Maximalabmessungen über- schreiten. So bedeutet z. B. die Einhaltung der sogenannten „Panamamax - Maße", daß der Betreiber eines Seeschiffes, das den Panamakanal benutzen soll, die wirtschaftlichen Nachteile vorbestimmter Grenzen der Nutztragfähigkeiten des jeweiligen Seeschiffes in Kauf nehmen muß.Area-related length restrictions are e.g. For example, when passing through channel locks. Seagoing vessels that have to comply with these dimensions necessarily have a lower useful load capacity than ships that are used to pass the respective shipping route, e.g. B. of the Panama Canal, still exceed the maximum permissible dimensions. So z. B. compliance with the so-called "Panama max. Dimensions" that the operator of a seagoing vessel that is to use the Panama Canal has to accept the economic disadvantages of predetermined limits of the useful carrying capacity of the respective ocean-going vessel.
Insbesondere bei Passagierschiffen ist die Anzahl der mitführbaren Passagiere das wesentliche Kriterium für Wirtschaftlichkeitsbetrachtungen der Reederei. Der Passagier¬ kapazität eines Fahrgastschiffes, insbesondere eines gelegentlich auch den Panamakanal oder eine andere Schiffahrtstraße mit entsprechenden Längenbeschränkungen nutzenden Kreuzfahrtschiffes, ist jedoch durch die Beschränkung auf zulässige Abmessungen, eine obere Grenze gesetzt .In the case of passenger ships in particular, the number of passengers that can be carried is the main criterion for economic considerations of the shipping company. The passenger capacity ¬ a passenger ship, especially one occasionally the Panama Canal or another Shipping route with corresponding length restrictions of the cruise ship, however, an upper limit is set by the limitation to permissible dimensions.
Eine wirtschaftlich zweckmäßige Steigerung der Passagierkapazität bei gleichzeitiger Einhaltung der revierbedingten Längenbeschränkung, wäre zwar möglich durch Verminderung der Abmessungen der Kabinen oder sonstiger für die Nutzung durch Passagiere bestimmter Räume. Die Vielzahl der Kabinen und damit die Zahl der unterzubringenden Passagiere wäre dann zwar erhöht, jedoch ergibt sich daraus eine Verminderung des Komforts für den einzelnen Passagier und gerade diese Komfortverminderung kann zu einer sinkenden Nachfrage und weniger Reise - Buchungen für das jeweilige Passagierschiff führen.An economically expedient increase in passenger capacity while at the same time complying with the length restrictions imposed by the region would be possible by reducing the dimensions of the cabins or other spaces intended for use by passengers. The number of cabins and thus the number of passengers to be accommodated would then be increased, but this results in a reduction in comfort for the individual passenger, and this reduction in comfort can lead to falling demand and fewer travel bookings for the respective passenger ship.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Seeschiff so zu gestalten, daß es bei Einhaltung der revierbedingten Längenbeschränkungen dennoch höhere Passagierkapazitäten aufweist, und zwar insbesondere ohne Verminderung des auf Kreuzfahrtschiffen üblichen Komforts, den die Passagiere heute erwarten bzw. gewohnt sind.The invention is based on the object of designing a seagoing ship in such a way that it still has higher passenger capacities if the length restrictions imposed by the regulations are adhered to, in particular without reducing the comfort which is customary on cruise ships and which passengers are expecting or are used to today.
Diese Aufgabe ist bei einem Seeschiff mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved in a seagoing ship with the features of claim 1. Further developments and advantageous refinements result from the subclaims.
Erfindungsgemäß ist zum Zwecke der Erhaltung der Nutztrag- fähigkeit des Seeschiffes der Teil des Überhanges des Vorstevens, der die Überschreitung der für den Verkehr auf Schiffahrtstraßen mit revierbedingter Längenbeschränkung zulässigen Länge des Seeschiffes ausmacht, als wenigstens eine bei Bedarf durch Wegklappen, Wegnahme oder der- gleichen Maßnahme reversibel handhabbare Baueinheit ausgebildet .According to the invention, for the purpose of maintaining the useful carrying capacity of the ocean-going vessel, the part of the overhang of the fore-pass that constitutes the exceeding of the length of the ocean-going vessel permissible for traffic on shipping roads with length restrictions due to the region, is at least one if necessary by folding away, taking away or same measure reversible manageable unit.
Das erfindungsgemäß gestaltete Seeschiff kann eine Längen- abmessung aufweisen, die zwar das für die jeweilige Schiffahrtstraße zulässige Längenmaß überschreitet, wobei jedoch die Passagierkapazität im Vergleich zu der Passagierkapazität eines die zulässige Schiffslänge einhaltenden Passagierschiffes, mit Vorteil erhöht ist. Insbesondere ist diese Erhöhung der Passagierkapazität gegeben, ohne Einschränkungen des Komforts für die Passagiere in Kauf zu nehmen.The sea-going vessel designed according to the invention can have a length dimension which, although it exceeds the length dimension permissible for the respective shipping route, the passenger capacity, however, advantageously being increased in comparison to the passenger capacity of a passenger ship that complies with the permissible ship length. In particular, this increase in passenger capacity is given without having to accept comfort restrictions for the passengers.
Erfindungsgemäß wird vor der Einfahrt in eine erste Schleuse, z. B. des Panamakanals, der gesamte Teil des Überhangs, der die Überschreitung des zulässigen Längenmaßes des Passagierschiffes ausmacht, weggeklappt oder weggenommen. Dies ist möglich, da der Teil als reversibel handhabbare Baueinheit ausgebildet ist.According to the invention, before entering a first lock, for. B. the Panama Canal, the entire part of the overhang, which is the exceeding of the permitted length of the passenger ship, folded away or removed. This is possible because the part is designed as a reversible unit.
Nach dem Wegklappen oder der Wegnahme ist das Passagierschiff auf die für den Panamakanal zulässige Länge verkürzt.After being folded away or taken away, the passenger ship is shortened to the length permitted for the Panama Canal.
Die Ausbildung des Vorstevens als reversibel handhabbare Baueinheit kann bereits bei einem Neubau eines Passagierschiffs vorgesehen sein. Es ist jedoch mit besonderem Vorteil auch möglich, bei bereits in Fahrt befindlichen Passagierschiffen nachträglich eine entsprechende Aus- rüstung vorzunehmen. Solche Passagierschiffe wären dadurch nachträglich geeignet gemacht, Schiffahrtstraßen mit revierbedingten Längenbeschränkungen, z. B. den Panamakanal, befahren zu können. Insbesondere ermöglicht die Erfindung einem Reeder eines Kreuzfahrtschiffes, die Kapa- zität seines bereits im Einsatz befindlichen Passagier- Schiffes nachträglich zu erhöhen, indem das Passagierschiff durch ein zwischengesetztes Segment, beispielsweise ein in der Schiffsmitte zwischengesetztes Segment, verlängert wird. Ein derart hinsichtlich der Passagierkapazi- tat nachträglich verlängertes Passagierschiff würde die Zulässigkeit für das Passieren einer Schiffahrtstraße mit revierbedingter Längenbeschränkung, z. B. des Panamakanals, an und für sich verlieren. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung mit der zur wahlweisen Verkürzung der Schiffslänge reversibel handhabbaren Baueinheit ist es jedoch möglich, die durch das zwischengesetzte Verlängerungssegment erfolgte Zunahme der Längenabmessung durch Wegklappen oder Wegnahme des als reversibel handhabbare Baueinheit ausgebildeten Bug - Segments auszugleichen bzw. zu kompensieren.The design of the preliminary stage as a reversibly manageable structural unit can already be provided when a passenger ship is built. However, it is also particularly advantageously possible to retrofit correspondingly to passenger ships that are already in motion. Such passenger ships would be made suitable subsequently, shipping routes with length restrictions due to the revolutions, e.g. B. the Panama Canal. In particular, the invention enables a shipowner of a cruise ship to test the capacity of its passenger To subsequently increase the ship by lengthening the passenger ship by an intermediate segment, for example a segment positioned in the middle of the ship. Such a passenger ship subsequently extended in terms of passenger capacity would make it permissible to pass a shipping route with length restrictions due to the area, eg. B. the Panama Canal, in and of itself. However, by means of the solution according to the invention with the structural unit which can be reversibly handled for the optional shortening of the length of the ship, it is possible to compensate or compensate for the increase in the length dimension caused by the interposed extension segment by folding away or removing the bow segment which is designed as a reversibly manageable structural unit.
Der Teil des Überhanges, der die Überschreitung der zulässigen Länge ausmacht, kann z. B. so weggeklappt werden, so daß er auf dem verbleibenden Bereich des Vordecks aufliegt. Es ist jedoch auch möglich eine Wegnahme, z. B. mit einem Hebezeug vorzunehmen. Die weggehobene Baueinheit kann mit dem Hebezeug ebenfalls, z. B. auf dem verbleibenden Vordeck, abgelegt werden.The part of the overhang that exceeds the permissible length can, for. B. can be folded away so that it rests on the remaining area of the foredeck. However, it is also possible to take it away, e.g. B. with a hoist. The lifted unit can also, for. B. on the remaining foredeck.
Beispielsweise kann ein an Land stehender Kran vor dem Einlaufen in eine erste Schleuse, z. B. des Panamakanals, die gegebenenfalls bereits vom Rumpf gelöste Baueinheit abheben und auf dem Vordeck ablegen, so daß das Seeschiff die Baueinheit während der Passage durch den Panamakanal mitführt. Nach der Kanaldurchfahrt kann die mitgeführte Baueinheit mit Hilfe eines geeigneten Hebezeugs wieder in den Vorsteven des Seeschiffes eingesetzt werden.For example, a crane standing on land before entering a first lock, e.g. B. the Panama Canal, which may have already detached from the hull and place it on the foredeck so that the ocean-going vessel carries the unit during the passage through the Panama Canal. After passing through the canal, the unit carried along can be reinserted into the bow of the seagoing vessel using a suitable lifting device.
Die handhabbare Baueinheit ist ein Bug - Segment, welches in den Schiffsrumpf so eingepaßt ist, daß die den Fall des Vorstevens ausmachenden Vorderkanten von Vorsteven des Rumpfes und Bug - Segment, sowie die Flächen des Segments und der die Bordwand bildenden Außenhaut in der Normalstellung, in welcher die Überschreitung der für das Passieren der jeweiligen Schiffahrtstraße, z. B. des Panamakanals, zulässigen Schiffslänge gegeben ist, miteinander fluchten. Sobald die Baueinheit zwecks Verminderung der Schiffslänge weggenommen oder weggeklappt ist, besteht der Vorsteven nur noch aus dem im Schiffs- rümpf integrierten Vorstevenabschnitt. Erst dann, wenn das Segment wieder in den Schiffsrumpf eingepaßt ist, also nach der Wegnahme oder Wegklappung wieder in der Normalstellung sitzt, bilden die Vorderkanten von Vorsteven und eingesetztem Bug - Segment eine der Flucht des Vorstevens entsprechende Linie, d. h. auch die erfindungsgemäße Baueinheit, das Bug - Segment, ist dann wieder voll in den Schiffsrumpf integriert.The manageable unit is a bow segment, which is fitted into the hull so that the case of the Vorstevens leading edges of Vorsteven of the fuselage and bow segment, as well as the surfaces of the segment and the outer skin forming the side wall in the normal position in which the exceeding of the for passing the respective shipping road, z. B. the Panama Canal, allowable ship length is given, aligned. As soon as the structural unit has been removed or folded away for the purpose of reducing the length of the ship, the bow stem only consists of the bow stem section integrated in the hull. Only when the segment is fitted back into the ship's hull, i.e. is in the normal position after being removed or folded away, do the leading edges of the bow and the bow segment inserted form a line corresponding to the bow of the bow, i.e. also the assembly according to the invention, the Bow segment, is then fully integrated into the hull again.
Das mit der erfindungsgemäßen Baueinheit gestaltete See- schiff zeichnet sich mit Vorteil auch noch dadurch aus, daß es im Bereich seiner der handhabbaren Baueinheit zugekehrten Seite wenigstens ein den Schiffsrumpf verschließendes Querschott aufweist. Daraus ergibt sich, daß der Schiffsrumpf bzw. das erfindungsgemäße Seeschiff auch nach Wegklappen oder Abnehmen der handhabbarenThe sea-going ship designed with the structural unit according to the invention is also advantageously characterized in that it has at least one transverse bulkhead closing the hull in the region of its side facing the manageable structural unit. It follows from this that the ship's hull or the seagoing vessel according to the invention can also be handled after the collapsible or removed
Baueinheit absolut seetauglich bleibt. Selbst dann, wenn die Baueinheit nicht an das Seeschiff angesetzt ist, verliert dieses nicht seine Seetauglichkeit. EinUnit remains absolutely seaworthy. Even if the structural unit is not attached to the seagoing ship, it does not lose its seaworthiness. On
Passagierschiff könnte somit auch ohne die vorgesetzte Baueinheit ohne weiteres Atlantikreisen ausführen; denn das Querschott ist in seine Außenhaut integriert.The passenger ship could thus easily travel to the Atlantic without the front-end unit; because the transverse bulkhead is integrated into its outer skin.
Um die Baueinheit zwecks Wegnahme handhaben zu können, ist sie mit Beschlägen zum Ansetzen von Lastaufnahmemitteln entsprechender Hebezeuge ausgerüstet. Geeignete Beschläge können z. B. Kranösen sein.In order to be able to handle the unit for removal, it is equipped with fittings for attaching load suspension devices appropriate lifting equipment. Suitable fittings can e.g. B. Crane eyes.
Ist die Baueinheit wegklappbar ausgebildet, können für das Wegklappen betätigbare Arbeitszylinder vorgesehen sein, die auch auf entsprechende Lenkgestänge wirken können, über welche die Klappbewegung der Baueinheit bewirkt wird.If the assembly is designed to be foldable, working cylinders can be provided for folding away, which can also act on corresponding steering linkages via which the folding movement of the assembly is effected.
Die Baueinheit und der Schiffsrumpf sind vorzugsweise mit gegenseitig in Wirkverbindung bringbaren Verriegelungsmitteln ausgerüstet. Mit den Verriegelungsmitteln kann die Baueinheit mit dem Schiffsrumpf in der Normalstellung, in der die Baueinheit in den Bug bzw. in den Vorsteven integriert ist, sicher gehalten sein.The structural unit and the hull are preferably equipped with locking means which can be brought into operative connection with one another. With the locking means, the structural unit with the ship's hull can be securely held in the normal position, in which the structural unit is integrated in the bow or in the bow.
Die Verriegelungsmittel können mit wahlweise betätigbaren Fernsteuerungen ausgerüstet sein, die beispielsweise von der Brücke des Seeschiffes aus bedient werden können, um das Wegklappen oder Wegnehmen einzuleiten bzw. nach dem erneuten Einsetzen der Baueinheit wieder eine Sicherung zu bewirken.The locking means can be equipped with selectively operable remote controls, which can be operated, for example, from the bridge of the seagoing ship in order to initiate the folding or removal or to effect a security after the unit has been reinserted.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, aus dem sich weitere erfinderische Merkmale ergeben, ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention, from which further inventive features result, is shown in the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 2 den vorderen Teil eines Seeschiffes gemäß Fig. 1, jedoch mit erfindungsgemäß weggeklappter, hier zurückgeklappter bzw. angelegter Bugspitze. Fig. 1 zeigt den vorderen Teil eines Passagierschiffes in der Seitenansicht. Der Rumpf 1 des Passagierschiffes weist einen überwasserseitigen Überhang auf, d. h. die Vorderkante 2 des Vorstevens 3 verläuft mit dem hier sichtbaren Fall von der Bugspitze 4 des Schiffsrumpfes 1 schräg nach hinten und unten bis zum Übergang in den Unterwasserteil 5 des Schiffsrumpfes 1. Von der Bugspitze 4 bis zum äußersten Ende des hier nicht sichtbaren Hecks eines Schiffs wird die Schiffslänge gemessen, die nicht über ein für eine Schiffahrtstraße mit revierbedingter Längenbeschränkung, wie z. B. den Panamakanal, zulässiges Maß hinausgehen darf. Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 ist durch den Überhang des Vorstevens eine Überschreitung der Schiffslänge über das zulässige Maß bedingt. Diese Überschreitung entspricht dem Maß zwischen dem vordersten Endpunkt 6 des unter Wasser befindlichen Wulstbugs 7 und der Bugspitze 4.Fig. 2 shows the front part of a seagoing ship according to FIG. 1, but with the bow tip folded away according to the invention, here folded back or attached. Fig. 1 shows the front part of a passenger ship in a side view. The hull 1 of the passenger ship has an overhang on the water side, ie the front edge 2 of the bow 3 extends obliquely backwards and downwards with the case visible here from the bow tip 4 of the ship's hull 1 to the transition into the underwater part 5 of the ship's hull 1. From the bow tip 4 to the extreme end of the stern of a ship, which is not visible here, the length of the ship is measured, which does not exceed a B. the Panama Canal may go beyond the permissible level. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the overhang of the preliminary stage means that the length of the ship is exceeded by the permissible extent. This overshoot corresponds to the dimension between the foremost end point 6 of the underwater bulge 7 and the nose tip 4.
Das hier dargestellte Passagierschiff zeichnet sich aus durch die Ausgestaltung des die Überschreitung ausmachenden Teils des Überhanges des Vorstevens 3 als wenigstens eine bei Bedarf durch Wegklappung, Abnahme oder dergleichen Maßnahme handhabbare Baueinheit 8.The passenger ship shown here is characterized by the configuration of the part of the overhang of the fore-end 3 that makes up the overrun as at least one structural unit 8 that can be handled if necessary by folding away, taking off or the like.

B. des Panamakanals, demontiert und der Klappmast 9 wird gelegt.The front part of the passenger ship is shown in FIG. 2, with the structural unit 8 now being shown in a folded-back position compared to FIG. 1. The assembly 8 can be folded back into the position shown here about joints which define a horizontal axis 11 by means of drive means, not shown, such as hydraulic cylinders and linkages. The forestay 10 is for the time of passage of the respective Shipping route, e.g. B. the Panama Canal, dismantled and the folding mast 9 is placed.
Fig. 2 verdeutlicht, daß durch das Zurückklappen der Baueinheit 8 um die waagerechte Achse 11 eine Verkürzung der Schiffslänge erfolgt ist, und zwar auf eine Schiffslänge, die den aufgrund von revierbedingten Längenbeschränkungen noch zulässigen Abmessungen entspricht. Fig. 2 illustrates that by folding back the assembly 8 about the horizontal axis 11, the length of the ship has been shortened to a length of ship which corresponds to the dimensions still permissible due to length restrictions due to the area.
