Definitions

  • the invention is related to a ship to shore crane installation, comprising a quay defining a longitudinal and a transverse direction, and at least two ship to shore cranes which are displaceable along the quay according to said longitudinal direction, wherein each ship to shore crane has a gantry structure and a boom structure supported by the gantry structure, the boom structure of each ship to shore crane being arranged according to said transverse direction, and a trolley supported by the boom structure for transferring a container.
  • a container ship comprises numerous adjacent container bays which extend in the transverse direction of the container ship. Within each bay, containers are stacked next to and upon each other in the longitudinal direction of the ship. The ship to shore cranes are displaced along the quay up to a position for accessing these bays and the containers accommodated therein. The cantilever part of the boom extends above the full container bay, in such a way that all containers therein can be handled.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a ship to shore crane installation which allows a more flexible handling of the containers in adjacent container bays. This object is achieved by an installation according to which the gantry structures of directly adjacent ship to shore cranes are offset with respect to each other in the transverse direction and overlap each other in the longitudinal direction.
  • the ship to shore cranes can be moved closer to each other due to the fact that they are not exactly aligned, but displaced somewhat with respect to each other in the direction of the booms thereof.
  • This adapted position of the ship to shore cranes with respect to each other offers the possibility to access two directly adjacent bays of a containership simultaneously by respective cranes.
  • the cranes are arranged alternately in a position somewhat closer to the edge of the quay and a position at a somewhat greater distance from the quay.
  • the difference in position is however limited, because only the widest parts, in particular the legs of the gantry structure, should be able to pass each other in longitudinal direction.
  • the reach of the boom belonging to the crane which is positioned somewhat further away from the edge of the quay should be enough to attain the most remote containers in the bays of the container ship.
  • the water side frame of one ship to shore crane is located between the water side frame and the land side frame of the directly adjacent ship to shore crane, seen in the transverse direction.
  • the water side and the land side of the respective booms of the at least two ship to shore cranes are arranged according to the same orientation.
  • the ship to shore cranes are generally identical.
  • the quay may be provided with at least two tracks extending generally in the longitudinal direction, said tracks being offset with respect to each other.
  • the ship to shore cranes are each provided with support wheels, in such a way that the support wheels of one ship to shore crane are supported by one of said tracks and the support wheels of a directly adjacent ship to shore crane are supported on an other track.
  • each track may comprise a pair of rails supported with respect to the quay.
  • the water side rail of each pair is accommodated on or in the surface of the quay.
  • the land side rail of each pair is accommodated on or in an elevated rail beam. It is however also possible to position both rails directly on the quay surface.
  • both rail may be positioned at an elevated level; it is also possible that the water side track is at an elevated level and the land side track is positioned on the quay surface.
  • the boom may have a fixed boom section connected to the gantry structure, and a hinged boom section connected to the fixed boom section through a hinge construction.
  • the gantry of each ship to shore crane may have a water side frame and a land side support frame, the support frames of directly adjacent cranes being offset with respect to each other.
  • Each support frame has two legs between which the boom extends.
  • the trolley may be provided with slewing means for rotating the container with respect to a vertical axis.
  • This provides a ship to shore crane with a minimum width, which is useful to position the ship to shore cranes as close as possible.
  • the mutual distance of the legs may be large enough to let pass a so-called 20 ft. containers.
  • the slewing action is necessary to make these pass the frame.
  • the ship to shore crane installation as shown in figure 1 comprises several ship to shore cranes 1 which are accommodated on the quay 2.
  • the quay 2 borders a harbour with a container ship 3 as shown in figures 2 and 3 .
  • the hold of the container ship 3 has a plurality of container bays 4 which extend transverse with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ship 3. Within and above these container bays 4, the containers 5 are stacked upon and next to each other.
  • the ship to shore cranes 1 each have a gantry structure 6 supporting a boom structure 7.
  • a trolley 23 travels back and forth along the boom structure for transferring the containers 5 between the ship 3 and the quay 2.
  • Each gantry 6 has a water side frame 8 and a land side frame 9, the lower ends of which are supported by means of crane travel mechanisms 10 with a plurality of wheels 11.
  • the quay 2 has a water side track 12 and a shore end track 13 for guiding the wheels 11 of the crane travel mechanisms 10.
  • the water side track 12 and the shore end track 13 largely overlap each other in transverse direction, however the overall position of the shore end track is closer to the edge of the quay than the other track 13.
  • each track 12, 13 consists of two parallel rails 14,15.
  • the rail 14 which are located at the land side of each track 12, 13 are at higher level than the quay mounted rails 15.
  • the land side rails 14 are accommodated on an elevated beam 16, supported by columns 17.
  • the ship to shore cranes 1 may be displaced in longitudinal direction of the quay 2 so as to be positioned in the desired location with respect to the container bays 4.
  • the water side frames 8 of the ship to shore cranes 1 may be displaced somewhat along each other in the longitudinal direction, causing an overlap thereof as is visible in figures 1 and 3 .
  • the land side frames 9 may overlap each other in this way.
  • the boom structures 7 of directly adjacent ship to shore cranes may be positioned at the same pitch distance as the pitch distance between two directly adjacent container bays of the ship 3.
  • the boom structure 7 has a fixed boom section fixedly connected to the gantry structure 6, and a hinged boom section 19 connected to the fixed boom section 18 through a hinge construction 20.
  • the hinged boom section 19 is displaceable between an operative position as shown in full lines, and an upwardly swung position indicated by dotted lines through pull member 21.
  • a tension member 22 has been provided for stabilizing the hinged boom section.
  • the trolley 23 is provided with a slewing ring 24 by means of which the container 5 can be rotated from the longitudinal direction as shown in the figures, into a transverse direction. This may be necessary for making the container 5 pass the legs 8', 8" of the water side frame 8. In the case of a narrow spacing 25 of the legs 8', 8", the dimension thereof may be smaller than the length 26 of a container. By rotating the container into the transverse orientation, such large container may safely pass the water side frame 8.
