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

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Seeschiff, insbesondere ein Passagierschiff, dessen Rumpf wenigstens einen überwasserseitigen Überhang aufweist, der eine Überschreitung der Schiffslänge über ein aufgrund revierbedingter Längenbeschränkungen zulässiges Maß hinaus bedingt, wobei der die Überschreitung ausmachende Teil des Überhanges des Vorstevens als wenigstens eine bei Bedarf durch eine Maßnahme, wie Wegklappen, Wegnahme oder dergleichen, reversibel handhabbare Baueinheit ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a seagoing vessel, in particular a passenger ship whose hull has at least one overhang on the water side, which exceeds the permissible length beyond a length permissible due to territorial length limitations, wherein the excess part of the overhang of the Vorstevens as at least one as needed is formed by a measure, such as folding away, removal or the like, reversibly manageable unit.

Ein Seeschiff der vorbezeichneten Gattung ist nach der WO 96/13422 A bekannt. Das bekannte Seeschiff weist am Bug eine torartige Öffnung auf, durch die das Innere des Schiffrumpfes zum Zwecke der Be- und Entladung zugänglich ist. Die Öffnung ist bei dem bekannten Seeschiff mittels einer klappbaren Baueinheit verschließbar beziehungsweise zu öffnen.A sea ship of the aforementioned kind is after the WO 96/13422 A known. The known seagoing ship has at the bow on a gate-like opening, through which the interior of the hull is accessible for the purpose of loading and unloading. The opening can be closed or opened in the known ship by means of a hinged unit.

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 überschreiten. 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.District-related length restrictions are z. B. for the passage of canal locks. Seagoing vessels, which have to comply with these dimensions, necessarily have lower payload capacity than ships that are responsible for passing the respective shipping route, eg. B. of the Panama Canal, still exceed maximum permissible dimensions. So z. As the observance of the so-called "Panamamax - measures" that the operator of a ship to use the Panama Canal, the economic disadvantages of predetermined limits of Nutztragfähigkeiten the respective ship has to accept.

Insbesondere bei Passagierschiffen ist die Anzahl der mitführbaren Passagiere das wesentliche Kriterium für Wirtschaftlichkeitsbetrachtungen der Reederei. Der Passagierkapazität 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.Especially with passenger ships, the number of passengers carried is the essential criterion for economic considerations of the shipping company. However, the passenger capacity of a passenger ship, in particular a cruise ship occasionally also using the Panama Canal or another shipping route with corresponding length restrictions, has an upper limit due to the restriction 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 appropriate increase in passenger capacity while maintaining the territorial length restriction, would indeed be possible by reducing the dimensions of the cabins or other intended for use by passengers rooms. The large number of cabins and thus the number of passengers to be accommodated would then be increased, but this results in a reduction of the comfort for the individual passenger and just this comfort reduction can Falling demand and fewer travel bookings for each 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 has for its object to design a seagoing ship so that it still has higher passenger capacity in compliance with the territorial length restrictions, in particular without reducing the usual on cruise ships comfort, the passengers today expect or are used to.

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 ship with the features of claim 1. Further developments and advantageous embodiments will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Der Teil des Überhanges des Vorstevens, der die Überschreitung der für den Verkehr auf Schiffahrtstraßen mit revierbedingter Längenbeschränkung zulässigen Länge des Seeschiffes ausmacht, ist als wenigstens eine bei Bedarf durch Wegklappen, Wegnahme oder dergleichen Maßnahme reversibel handhabbare Baueinheit ausgebildet, z. B. so, wie es bei dem eingangs erwähnten Seeschiff, allerdings für andere Zwecke, bekannt ist.The part of the overhang of the Vorstevens, which makes up the exceeding of the permissible for traffic on navigation routes with revierbedingter length restriction length of the seagoing ship is designed as at least one if necessary by folding away, removal or the like measure reversibly manageable unit, z. B. as, as it is known in the aforementioned ship, but for other purposes.

Das Seeschiff kann eine Längenabmessung 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 seagoing vessel may have a length dimension which exceeds the allowable length dimension for the particular shipping route, but the passenger capacity is advantageously increased in comparison with the passenger capacity of a passenger ship which complies with the allowable ship length. In particular, this increase in passenger capacity is given without compromising comfort for the passengers.

Vor der Einfahrt in eine erste Schleuse, z. B. des Panamakanals, kann der gesamte Teil des Überhangs, der die Überschreitung des zulässigen Längenmaßes des Passagierschiffes ausmacht, weggeklappt oder weggenommen werden. Dies ist möglich, da der Teil als reversibel handhabbare Baueinheit ausgebildet ist.Before entering a first lock, z. B. of the Panama Canal, the entire part of the overhang, which makes up the exceeding of the permissible length dimension of the passenger ship, can be folded away or taken away. This is possible because the part is designed as a reversibly manageable unit.

Nach dem Wegklappen oder der Wegnahme, ist das Passagierschiff auf die für den Panamakanal zulässige Länge verkürzt.After folding away or the removal, the passenger ship is shortened to the permissible length 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 Ausrüstung vorzunehmen. Solche Passagierschiffe würden dadurch nachträglich geeignet gemacht, Schiffahrtstraßen mit revierbedingten Längenbeschränkungen, z. B. den Panamakanal, befahren zu können. Insbesondere ist einem Reeder eines Kreuzfahrtschiffes ermöglicht, die Kapazität seines bereits im Einsatz befindlichen Passagierschiffes nachträglich zu erhöhen, indem das Passagierschiff durch ein zwischengesetztes Segment, beispielsweise ein in der Schiffsmitte zwischengesetztes Segment, verlängert wird. Ein derart hinsichtlich der Passagierkapazität 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 wahlweise Verkürzung der Schiffslänge mittels der reversibel handhabbaren Baueinheit, ist es jedoch möglich, die durch das zwischen gesetzte Verlängerungssegment erfolgte Zunahme der Längenabmessung durch Wegklappen oder Wegnahme des als reversibel handhabbare Baueinheit ausgebildeten Bug - Segments auszugleichen bzw. zu kompensieren.The formation of Vorstevens as a reversibly manageable unit can already be provided in a new construction of a passenger ship. However, it is also possible with particular advantage to retrofit appropriate equipment in passenger ships already in service. Such passenger ships would be made suitable subsequently, shipping routes with revierbedingten length restrictions, z. B. the Panama Canal, to be able to drive. In particular, a shipowner of a cruise ship is enabled to subsequently increase the capacity of his passenger ship already in use by extending the passenger ship through an interposed segment, for example a segment interposed in the ship's center. Such a passenger capacity subsequently extended passenger ship would be the permissibility for passing a shipping route with territorial length restriction, z. As the Panama Canal, in and of itself. By selectively shortening the length of the ship by means of the reversibly manageable unit, it is possible that by the between set extension segment was made to compensate for increase in the length dimension by folding away or removing the designed as a reversibly manageable unit Bug segment or compensate.

Der Teil des Überhanges, der die Überschreitung der zulässigen Länge ausmacht, kann z. B. so weggeklappt werden, 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, which constitutes the exceeding of the permissible length, z. B. be folded so that it rests on the remaining area of the foredeck. However, it is also possible a removal, for. B. make with a hoist. The lifted unit can also with the hoist, z. B. on the remaining foredeck, are stored.

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, an on-shore crane before entering a first lock, z. B. of the Panama Canal, possibly already lifted from the fuselage unit and drop on the foredeck, so that the ship carries the unit during the passage through the Panama Canal. After the passage through the tunnel, the unit can be returned to the foreship of the ship with the help of a suitable hoist.

Die handhabbare Baueinheit ist ein Bug - Segment, welches in den Schiffsrumpf so eingepaßt ist, daß die den Fall des Vorsteven 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 Schiffsrumpf 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 Baueinheit, das Bug - Segment, ist dann wieder voll in den Schiffsrumpf integriert.The manageable unit is a bow segment which is fitted in the hull in such a way that the leading edge of the stem and bow segment of the stem and the faces of the segment and the hull forming the hull in the normal position, in which the exceeding of the passing of the respective shipping route, z. B. of the Panama Canal, permissible ship length is given, are aligned. As soon as the unit is removed or folded away to reduce the length of the ship is, the Vorsteven consists only of the Vorstevenabschnitt integrated in the hull. Only then, when the segment is fitted back into the hull, so after removal or Wegklappung back in the normal position, form the leading edges of Vorsteven and inserted bow - segment corresponding to the escape of Vorstevens line, ie the unit, the bow - Segment, is then fully integrated into the hull again.

Das erfindungsgemäße Seeschiff zeichnet sich 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 Seeschiff, auch nach Wegklappen oder Abnehmen der handhabbaren Baueinheit absolut seetauglich bleibt. Selbst dann, wenn die Baueinheit nicht an das Seeschiff angesetzt ist, verliert dieses nicht seine Seetauglichkeit. Ein Passagierschiff könnte somit auch ohne die vorgesetzte Baueinheit ohne weiteres Atlantikreisen ausführen; denn das Querschott ist in seine Außenhaut integriert.The marine vessel according to the invention is characterized in that it has at least one transverse bulkhead closing the hull in the region of its handleable structural unit. It follows that the hull, or the ship, even after folding away or removing the manageable unit remains absolutely seaworthy. Even if the unit is not attached to the ship, it does not lose its seaworthiness. A passenger ship could therefore also without the superior unit without further Atlantikreisen run; 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 handle the assembly for the purpose of removal, it is with fittings for attaching lifting devices equipped with appropriate lifting gear. Suitable fittings can z. B. crane eyelets.

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 folded away, actuatable working cylinders can be provided for the folding away, which can also act on corresponding steering linkage, 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 assembly and the hull are preferably equipped with mutually operatively engageable locking means. With the locking means, the assembly with the ship's hull in the normal position in which the unit is integrated into the bow or in the Vorsteven be held securely.

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 may be equipped with selectively operable remote controls that can be operated, for example, from the bridge of the ship to initiate the folding away or removing or to effect after re-insertion of the assembly again a fuse.

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. 1 shows the front part of a passenger ship in the side view. The hull 1 of the passenger ship has an overwater-side overhang, d. H. the leading edge 2 of Vorstevens 3 runs with the case visible here from the nose 4 of the hull 1 obliquely backwards and down to the transition to the underwater part 5 of the hull 1. From the nose 4 to the extreme end of the not visible stern of a ship the length of the vessel shall be measured, which shall not exceed one for a shipping route with a territorial limitation, such as B. the Panama Canal, permissible level may go beyond. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is exceeded by the overhang of Vorstevens exceeding the ship's length beyond the allowable level. This excess corresponds to the dimension between the foremost end point 6 of the submerged Bugs 7 and the nose 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 embodiment of the overrun portion of the overhang of Vorstevens 3 as at least one if necessary by Wegklappung, decrease or similar measure manageable unit. 8

Die Baueinheit 8 ist um Gelenke, die eine waagerechte Achse 11 definieren, mittels nicht weiter dargestellter Antriebsmittel, wie beispielsweise Hydraulikzylinder und Gestänge, in die hier gezeigte Stellung zurückklappbar. Das Vorstag 10 wird für die Zeit der Passage der jeweiligen Schiffahrtstraße, z. B. des Panamakanals, demontiert und der Klappmast 9 wird gelegt.In Fig. 2, the front part of the passenger ship is shown, with respect to FIG. 1 now the assembly 8 is shown in a folded-back position. The assembly 8 is hinged about joints, which define a horizontal axis 11, by means not shown drive means, such as hydraulic cylinder and linkage, in the position shown here. The forestay 10 is for the time of passage of the respective Schiffahrtstraße, z. B. of 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 the folding back of the assembly 8 about the horizontal axis 11, a shortening of the ship's length is made, and that on a ship's length, which corresponds to the permissible due to regional length restrictions remaining dimensions.

Claims (8)

  1. A sea-going ship, in particular a passenger ship of which the hull features at least a top-side overhang that exceeds the ship's length by a value greater than the permissible estuarial limitation measure, in which the part of the stempost overhang is made at least as a reversible handling-capable assembly, if necessary through a means like folding away, removal or a similar action,
    characterised in that it features at least a transverse bulkhead (12) that closes ship hull (1) in the side area facing its handling-capable assembly (8), for preserving its profitable deadweight capacity.
  2. A sea-going ship according to Claim 1 characterised in that handling-capable assembly (8) is formed as a bow segment.
  3. A sea-going ship according to Claim 2, characterised in that the bow segment is fitted in ship hull (1) such that front edges (2) determining the stempost (3) fall from said stempost (3) and assembly (8), provided as a bow segment, and the surfaces of assembly (8), and outer shell forming the shipboard in normal position that determines the limitation of excessive length relative to estuary size, are flush with one another.
  4. A sea-going ship according to one of Claims 1 to 3, characterised in that transverse bulkhead (12) is integrated in the outer shell of ship's hull (1).
  5. A sea-going ship according to one of the preceding Claims characterised in that assembly (8) is equipped with fittings for attaching the load-bearing means comprising appropriate lifting gear.
  6. A sea-going ship according to one of the Claims 1 to 5 characterised in that operable working cylinders are provided for folding away assembly (8).
  7. A sea-going ship according to one of the preceding Claims characterised in that assembly (8) and ship hull (1) are equipped with mutually acting locking means.
  8. A sea-going ship according to Claim 7 characterised in that the locking means are selectively operable and that a remote control is provided for actuation.
