Abstract

The invention relates to a standardized platform (1) provided with two crossbeams (11, 111) at the front and rear ends thereof. The crossbeams extend beyond the side edges of the platform, whereby the ends of said beams can receive slings (24a-24d) enabling the assembly to be secured to container hoisting and handling means. It is thus possible to transport merchandise (21) that is both wider and longer than a standardized platform (1) on said platform (1). The merchandise can thus be handled and loaded using hoisting and handling means for containers, i.e., at a reduced cost relative to oversized load transport.

Description

Procédé de chargement d'une marchandise hors gabarit sur un navire porte conteneurs  Method of loading oversize goods on a container ship
ARRIERE-PLAN DE L'INVENTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Le transport maritime de nombreuses marchandises est assuré au moyen de navires dits porte conteneurs, capables de transporter des conteneurs normalisés qui sont empilés les uns sur les autres sur le navire.  Many goods are transported by ship, known as container ships, capable of carrying standard containers stacked on top of each other on the ship.
Ce mode de transport permet en particulier de réduire significativement les coûts : les conteneurs ayant des dimensions normalisées, ils peuvent être placés les uns au dessus des autres de manière à former un assemblage compact.  This mode of transport in particular makes it possible to significantly reduce costs: containers having standardized dimensions, they can be placed one above the other so as to form a compact assembly.
Ces conteneurs normalisés qui sont parallélépipédiques comportent à chacun de leurs sommets supérieurs une embase d'accrochage, ce qui permet de les manœuvrer sur un terminal de chargement avec des moyens de levage et de manutention normalisés.  These standardized containers which are parallelepipedic comprise at each of their upper apices a hooking base, which allows them to maneuver on a loading terminal with standardized lifting and handling means.
Ces moyens de levage, de type grue ou analogue comportent un plafonnier mobile équipé de quatre organes d'accrochage venant chacun s'engager dans une embase d'accrochage correspondante du conteneur pour le saisir puis le manutentionner.  These hoisting means, crane type or the like comprise a movable ceiling lamp equipped with four fasteners each engaging in a corresponding attachment base of the container for gripping and handling.
Complémentairement un tel conteneur comporte également à chaque sommet de sa face inférieure une embase d'accrochage pouvant être solidarisée à une embase d'accrochage d'une face supérieure d'un conteneur sur lequel il est posé. La solidarisation d'une embase à une autre est assurée par l'intermédiaire d'un verrou amovible. Les conteneurs sont ainsi empilés tout en étant fixés les uns aux autres, ce qui permet d'assurer leur transport dans des conditions de sécurité satisfaisantes, et pour un coût significativement réduit.  Complementarily, such a container also comprises at each vertex of its lower face a hooking base that can be secured to a fastening base of an upper face of a container on which it is placed. The securing of a base to another is provided by means of a removable lock. The containers are thus stacked while being fixed to each other, which ensures their transport in satisfactory safety conditions, and for a significantly reduced cost.
Lorsque la marchandise à transporter a une hauteur supérieure à celle d'un conteneur, il est  When the goods to be transported have a height greater than that of a container, it is
FEU I LLE DE REM PLACEM ENT (RÈG LE 26) possible d'arrimer cette marchandise à une plateforme pour charger cette plateforme sur le navire en la plaçant sur un conteneur auquel elle est alors fixée. FIRE I LLE OF REM PLACEM ENT (RULE 26) it is possible to secure this merchandise to a platform to load this platform on the ship by placing it on a container to which it is then attached.
Concrètement, une telle plateforme a une forme rectangulaire de mêmes dimensions qu'un conteneur en vue de dessus, et elle est équipée aux sommets de sa face supérieure et de sa face inférieure d'embases d'accrochage du même type que celles équipant les conteneurs. Une telle plateforme peut ainsi être manutentionnée comme un conteneur, c'est-à-dire en utilisant des moyens de levage et de manutention du même type que ceux utilisés pour les conteneurs.  Concretely, such a platform has a rectangular shape of the same dimensions as a container in top view, and it is equipped at the tops of its upper face and its underside of fastening bases of the same type as those fitted to the containers. . Such a platform can thus be handled as a container, that is to say by using lifting and handling means of the same type as those used for containers.
Ainsi, une telle plateforme permet de transporter sur un navire porte conteneurs des marchandises qui sont trop larges, trop longues ou trop hautes pour loger dans un conteneur.  Thus, such a platform allows to transport on a container ship goods that are too wide, too long or too high to fit in a container.
Mais, lorsque la marchandise à transporter est à la fois plus large et plus longue que la plateforme, il n'est plus possible d'utiliser une telle plateforme, du fait que les organes d'accrochage des sommets de sa face supérieure ne sont plus accessibles par les moyens de levage une fois que cette marchandise a été arrimée à la plateforme .  But when the goods to be transported is both wider and longer than the platform, it is no longer possible to use such a platform, because the attachment members of the tops of its upper face are no longer accessible by lifting means once this merchandise has been secured to the platform.
Concrètement, il n'est donc pas possible de manutentionner une telle plateforme si elle supporte une marchandise qui est à la fois trop large et trop longue.  Concretely, it is therefore not possible to handle such a platform if it supports a commodity that is both too wide and too long.
En pratique, une telle marchandise doit donc faire l'objet d'un transport dit hors gabarit en l'arrimant par exemple dans la cale d'un cargo, ce qui est pénalisant tant en ce qui concerne le volume effectivement monopolisé dans le cargo qu'en ce qui concerne le coût de manutention.  In practice, such a commodity must therefore be transported said oversized by docking for example in the hold of a cargo ship, which is penalizing both in terms of the volume actually monopolized in the cargo that 'as regards the cost of handling.

Chaque embase 8a-8d comprend essentiellement une première ouverture oblongue orientée selon la direction longitudinale X de la plateforme 1 et débouchant dans une face supérieure 9 de cette plateforme, et une seconde ouverture oblongue orientée selon la direction longitudinale X et débouchant dans une face inférieure 10.  Each base 8a-8d essentially comprises a first oblong opening oriented in the longitudinal direction X of the platform 1 and opening into an upper face 9 of this platform, and a second oblong opening oriented in the longitudinal direction X and opening into a lower face 10 .
La plateforme 1 est agencée pour pouvoir être solidarisée à un conteneur par sa face inférieure 10 en utilisant quatre verrous amovibles du type décrit dans le document de brevet O200509515 . Chaque verrou amovible est alors interposé entre une embase de la face supérieure du conteneur et une embase correspondante de la plateforme 1 pour les solidariser l'une à l'autre.  The platform 1 is arranged to be secured to a container by its underside 10 using four removable locks of the type described in patent document O200509515. Each removable lock is then interposed between a base of the upper face of the container and a corresponding base of the platform 1 to secure them to one another.
Selon l'invention, on fixe à l'extrémité avant 6 et à l'extrémité arrière 7 de la face supérieure 9 de cette plateforme 1, deux poutres orientées transversalement par rapport à la direction X.  According to the invention, at the front end 6 and at the rear end 7 of the upper face 9 of this platform 1 are fixed two beams oriented transversely with respect to the direction X.
Une telle poutre qui est représentée aux figures 2 et 3 en y étant repérée par 11 est ici formée à partir d'un profilé en I. Elle comprend un corps longitudinal 12 comportant deux extrémités, une paroi supérieure 13 comportant deux embases 14a et 14b et une paroi inférieure 17 comportant deux organes de verrouillage 15a et 15b.  Such a beam, which is represented in FIGS. 2 and 3 by being identified by 11, is here formed from an I-beam. It comprises a longitudinal body 12 comprising two ends, an upper wall 13 comprising two bases 14a and 14b and a bottom wall 17 having two locking members 15a and 15b.
Cette poutre 11 comporte deux anneaux de levage 18a et 18b à chacune de ses extrémités sur la paroi supérieure 13, et deux autres anneaux de levage 25a et 25b à chacune de ses extrémités sur la paroi inférieure 17, ainsi que des plaques de protection 16a et 16b, carrées, perpendiculaires au corps de poutre et constituant la terminaison de chaque extrémité.  This beam 11 has two lifting rings 18a and 18b at each of its ends on the upper wall 13, and two other lifting rings 25a and 25b at each of its ends on the bottom wall 17, as well as protection plates 16a and 16b, square, perpendicular to the beam body and constituting the termination of each end.

FIRE I LLE OF REM PLACEM ENT (RULE 26) two locking members 15a and 15b separated from each other along this beam by a distance corresponding to the distance separating two consecutive attachment bases of the same small platform side, such as the bases 8a and 8b, or the bases 8c and 8d.
Chaque organe de verrouillage 15a, 15b comporte une sole 19a, 19b parallélépipédique fixée à la paroi inférieure 17 de la poutre 11, et pourvue d'une olive rotative dépassant de cette sole, ces olives étant repérées par 20a et 20b, respectivement.  Each locking member 15a, 15b comprises a parallelepiped sole 19a, 19b fixed to the bottom wall 17 of the beam 11, and provided with a rotating olive protruding from this sole, these olives being marked by 20a and 20b, respectively.
Chaque olive 20a, 20b a une forme permettant son engagement dans une ouverture correspondante d'une embase 8a-8d de la plateforme 1, et est apte à pivoter autour d'un axe normal à la face de la sole dont elle dépasse. A cet effet, chaque organe de verrouillage 15a, 15b comporte encore un levier de manœuvre ou analogue, non représenté, permettant de faire pivoter l'olive rotative dans la sole, entre une position déverrouillée et une position de verrouillée.  Each olive 20a, 20b has a shape allowing its engagement in a corresponding opening of a base 8a-8d of the platform 1, and is pivotable about an axis normal to the face of the sole of which it exceeds. For this purpose, each locking member 15a, 15b further comprises an operating lever or the like, not shown, for rotating the rotary olive in the sole between an unlocked position and a locked position.
Dans la position libre, chaque olive 20a, 20b s'étend perpendiculairement au corps de poutre, et dans la position verrouillée chaque olive 20a, 20b s'étend parallèlement au corps de poutre, comme dans la figure 2.  In the free position, each olive 20a, 20b extends perpendicular to the beam body, and in the locked position each olive 20a, 20b extends parallel to the beam body, as in Figure 2.
Cette poutre 11 comporte encore deux embases 14a, This beam 11 further comprises two bases 14a,
14b, du même type que les embases équipant les conteneurs, dépassant de sa face supérieure, ces deux embases 14a et 14b étant situées au droit des organes de verrouillage 15a et 15b, respectivement. Chaque embase 14a, 14b comprend un cube métallique soudé sur la poutre 11, ce cube comprenant au niveau de sa paroi supérieure une ouverture de forme oblongue compatible avec les verrous amovibles, c'est-à-dire capable de recevoir une olive . 14b, of the same type as the bases fitted to the containers, protruding from its upper face, these two bases 14a and 14b being located in line with the locking members 15a and 15b, respectively. Each base 14a, 14b comprises a metal cube welded to the beam 11, this cube comprising at its upper wall an oblong opening compatible with the removable locks, that is to say capable of receiving an olive.

Les embases 14a et 14b sont disposées de manière symétrique par rapport au plan médian. Il en va de même des organes de verrouillage 15a et 15b. FIRE I LLE OF REM PLACEM ENT (RULE 26) located between its ends and extending 1 s t ansversalement with respect to the general direction of the beam body. The bases 14a and 14b are arranged symmetrically with respect to the median plane. The same is true of the locking members 15a and 15b.
Les organes de verrouillage 15a, 15b de la poutre 11 permettent de la solidariser directement à deux embases consécutives d'un petit côté d'une plateforme, comme par exemple les embases 8a et 8b. Cette opération est assurée en plaçant d'abord les olives 20a, 20b des deux organes d'accrochage de la poutre en position déverrouillée, au moyen des leviers de manœuvre non représentés .  The locking members 15a, 15b of the beam 11 enable direct attachment to two consecutive bases of a small side of a platform, such as the bases 8a and 8b. This operation is ensured by first placing the olives 20a, 20b of the two latching members of the beam in the unlocked position, by means of the not shown operating levers.
La poutre 11 est ensuite saisie avec un engin de levage, et elle est placée à l'aplomb du petit côté 6 de la plateforme 1, de telle manière que les olives 20a, 20b soient situées au droit des embases correspondantes 8a et 8b. L'engin de levage est ensuite piloté pour abaisser la poutre 11 sur la plateforme 1, jusqu'à ce qu'elle repose sur celle-ci, les olives 20a, 20b s ' engageant alors dans les ouvertures 8a et 8b.  The beam 11 is then gripped with a hoist, and it is placed in line with the short side 6 of the platform 1, so that the olives 20a, 20b are located at the right of the corresponding bases 8a and 8b. The hoist is then driven to lower the beam 11 on the platform 1 until it rests on it, the olives 20a, 20b then engaging in the openings 8a and 8b.
Les leviers ou actionneurs des deux organes d'accrochage 15a, 15b sont alors manœuvrés pour les placer en position verrouillée afin de fixer complètement cette poutre 11 à la plateforme 1.  The levers or actuators of the two attachment members 15a, 15b are then maneuvered to place them in the locked position in order to completely fix the beam 11 to the platform 1.
Une deuxième poutre, repérée par 11' et identique à la poutre 11, est ensuite fixée au petit côté 7 opposé de la plateforme 1, c'est-à-dire à son extrémité arrière, pour constituer un ensemble formant support repéré par 30, représenté en figure 4. Cet ensemble comporte la plateforme 1 équipée de la poutre 11 fixée à la face supérieure de son extrémité avant 6, et de la poutre 11', identique, mais qui est fixée à la face supérieure de l'extrémité arrière 7 de cette plateforme 1.  A second beam, marked 11 'and identical to the beam 11, is then attached to the small opposite side 7 of the platform 1, that is to say at its rear end, to form a support assembly marked by 30, This assembly comprises the platform 1 equipped with the beam 11 fixed to the upper face of its front end 6, and the beam 11 ', identical, but which is fixed to the upper face of the rear end 7 of this platform 1.
Comme visible dans cette figure 4, les deux  As shown in Figure 4, both
FEU I LLE DE REM PLACEM ENT (RÈG LE 26) poutres 11 et 11' s'étendent perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale X de la plateforme 1, leurs extrémités respectives étant situées latéralement au delà de cette plateforme 1, les organes de verrouillage de chaque poutre 11, 11' étant verrouillés dans les embases correspondantes de la plateforme 1. FIRE I LLE OF REM PLACEM ENT (RULE 26) beams 11 and 11 'extend perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X of the platform 1, their respective ends being located laterally beyond this platform 1, the locking members of each beam 11, 11' being locked in the corresponding bases of the platform 1.
Les figures 5 à 7 illustrent l'utilisation du support 30 pour manutentionner une marchandise 21 ayant une longueur et une largeur supérieures à la longueur et la largeur de la plateforme. Cette marchandise qui est installée sur la plateforme au moyen de socles 22 peut être par exemple un bateau de plaisance comme dans les figures 5 et 6, ou bien une cuve ou une bonbonne comme dans l'exemple de la figure 7.  Figures 5 to 7 illustrate the use of the support 30 for handling a commodity 21 having a length and width greater than the length and width of the platform. This commodity which is installed on the platform by means of bases 22 can be for example a pleasure boat as in Figures 5 and 6, or a tank or a cylinder as in the example of Figure 7.
Un plafonnier 23 d'un engin de levage et de manutention de conteneur est ensuite positionné au dessus du support 30 sur lequel la marchandise 21 est installée, au droit de la plateforme 1. Ce plafonnier 23 constitue un organe de préhension de conteneur, et il comporte à cet effet quatre organes d'accrochage, référencés 26a à 26d, agencés selon la même disposition que les embases d'accrochage d'un conteneur ou d'une plateforme.  A ceiling 23 of a container lifting and handling device is then positioned above the support 30 on which the goods 21 is installed, in line with the platform 1. This ceiling 23 constitutes a container gripping member, and it comprises for this purpose four attachment members, referenced 26a to 26d, arranged in the same arrangement as the attachment bases of a container or a platform.
Autrement dit, les organes d'accrochage du plafonnier 23 sont situés à chaque sommet d'un rectangle, de manière à s'engager dans les embases correspondantes d'une face supérieure de conteneur ou de plateforme.  In other words, the fasteners of the ceiling lamp 23 are located at each vertex of a rectangle, so as to engage in the corresponding bases of a container or platform top face.
A ce stade, quatre élingues 24a-24d, visibles en figure 7, munies de boucles à leurs extrémités sont installées pour solidariser le plafonnier 23 à l'ensemble. Chaque élingue est fixée par une première extrémité à l'un des quatre anneaux 18a, 18b situés aux extrémités de chaque poutre 11, 11' et par son autre extrémité à un organe d'accrochage du plafonnier 23.  At this stage, four slings 24a-24d, visible in Figure 7, provided with loops at their ends are installed to secure the ceiling lamp 23 to all. Each sling is fixed by a first end to one of the four rings 18a, 18b located at the ends of each beam 11, 11 'and at its other end to a fastening member of the ceiling lamp 23.
Les élingues peuvent avoir leur extrémité supérieure accrochée directement à un organe d'accrochage  The slings may have their upper end hooked directly to a shackle
FEUILLE DE REMPLACEMENT (RÈGLE 26) du plafonnier 23, ou bien par l'intermédiaire d'un élément supplémentaire. Chaque extrémité supérieure d' élingue peut aussi être fixée au plafonnier 23 au moyen d'une manille engagée dans un anneau du plafonnier 23 situé au voisinage de l'organe d'accrochage, un tel anneau pouvant être décalé par exemple d'une dizaine de centimètres ou plus par rapport à l'organe d'accrochage. SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) ceiling lamp 23, or via an additional element. Each upper end of the sling may also be fixed to the ceiling lamp 23 by means of a shackle engaged in a ring of the ceiling lamp 23 situated in the vicinity of the fastening member, such a ring being able to be shifted for example by about ten centimeters or more in relation to the fastening member.
Les poutres 11 et 11' ont des longueurs supérieures à la largeur de la plateforme et de la marchandise 21 transportée, afin que les élingues 24a- 24d, une fois accrochées, n'interfèrent pas avec la marchandise 21. La poutre 11, les élingues 24a et 14b et le plafonnier 23 forment respectivement la base, les cotés et le sommet d'un trapèze en vue de face selon la figure 4.  The beams 11 and 11 'have lengths greater than the width of the platform and the goods transported, so that the slings 24a-24d, once hooked, do not interfere with the goods 21. The beam 11, the slings 24a and 14b and the ceiling lamp 23 respectively form the base, the sides and the top of a trapezium in front view according to FIG.
L'ensemble est alors soulevé en élevant le plafonnier 23 et déposé sur un conteneur servant de base et préalablement disposé dans le navire porte conteneur. Le support 30 est fixé sur le conteneur de base en utilisant des verrous amovibles préalablement disposés sur des embases d'accrochage de la face supérieure du conteneur de base. Les élingues 24a-24d sont alors détachées des anneaux 18a-18b et ramenées à terre pour un autre usage.  The assembly is then raised by raising the ceiling 23 and deposited on a container used as a base and previously disposed in the container vessel. The support 30 is fixed on the base container using removable locks previously arranged on the attachment bases of the upper face of the base container. The slings 24a-24d are then detached from the rings 18a-18b and brought back to the ground for another use.
Dans l'exemple des figures, l'ensemble est suspendu au plafonnier 23 au moyen d' élingues. On entend par élingue tout moyen permettant de suspendre l'ensemble au plafonnier 23 comme par exemple, des cordages, des sangles, des chaînes ou des câbles.  In the example of the figures, the assembly is suspended from the ceiling 23 by means of slings. Sling means any means for suspending the assembly ceiling 23 as for example, ropes, straps, chains or cables.
Eventuellement, l'ensemble constitué par le support 30 et la marchandise 21 est préparé sur une zone dite d'empotage située à une certaine distance du navire porte conteneurs. Cet ensemble est transféré dans la zone de chargement équipée de l'engin de levage et de manutention de conteneur, ce transfert étant par exemple  Optionally, the assembly consisting of the support 30 and the goods 21 is prepared on a so-called potting area located at a distance from the container ship.

Dans l'exemple qui a été décrit, chaque poutre 11, 11' est fixée à la plateforme 1 directement au moyen des organes d'accrochage équipant cette poutre. Mais il est également possible de fixer l'une et/ou l'autre poutre à la plateforme 1 au moyen des embases d'accrochage 14a, 14b équipant ces poutres, en utilisant des verrous amovibles, non représentés, qui sont d'abord fixés aux embases correspondantes de la plateforme 1. Un tel verrou amovible comprend typiquement une sole parallélépipédique pourvue de deux olives rotatives à ses faces opposées .  In the example that has been described, each beam 11, 11 'is fixed to the platform 1 directly by means of the attachment members equipping said beam. But it is also possible to fix one and / or the other beam to the platform 1 by means of the attachment bases 14a, 14b fitted to these beams, using removable locks, not shown, which are first fixed to the corresponding bases of the platform 1. Such a removable lock typically comprises a parallelepipedal sole provided with two rotary olives at its opposite faces.
La poutre est alors placée au droit des verrous amovibles installés sur les embases de la plateforme, de telle manière que les deux embases de cette poutre soient au droit des deux verrous. La poutre est ensuite abaissée sur les verrous pour que les olives supérieures de ces verrous s'engagent dans les embases de fixation de la poutre .  The beam is then placed in line with the removable locks installed on the bases of the platform, so that the two bases of this beam are at the right of the two locks. The beam is then lowered on the locks so that the upper olives of these locks engage in the mounting bases of the beam.
Les verrous amovibles sont ensuite actionnés par un opérateur pour passer en position verrouillée, de manière à solidariser complètement la poutre à la plateforme .  The removable locks are then actuated by an operator to enter the locked position, so as to completely secure the beam to the platform.
La poutre 11 comporte également des anneaux 25a et 25b sur la paroi inférieure 17, identiques aux anneaux de levage 18a et 18b de la paroi supérieure 16, qui permettent d'utiliser la poutre 11 une fois retournée. Dans cette configuration, on effectue une rotation de 180° de la poutre par rapport à son axe longitudinal afin que les embases 14a et 14b soient face au sol. La poutre 11 peut alors être fixée par les embases 14a et 14b sur la face supérieure 9 de la plateforme 1 à l'aide de verrous amovibles. Ainsi, si les organes d'accrochages 15a ou 15b venaient à être endommagés, la poutre 11 pourrait être utilisée selon le procédé décrit  The beam 11 also includes rings 25a and 25b on the bottom wall 17, identical to the lifting rings 18a and 18b of the upper wall 16, which allow the use of the beam 11 when returned. In this configuration, the beam is rotated 180 ° relative to its longitudinal axis so that the bases 14a and 14b face the ground. The beam 11 can then be fixed by the bases 14a and 14b on the upper face 9 of the platform 1 with removable locks. Thus, if the clipping members 15a or 15b were to be damaged, the beam 11 could be used according to the method described

Dans l'exemple des figures, les extrémités des élingues 24a-24d sont fixées directement aux organes d'accrochage du plafonnier 23, mais elles peuvent être également fixées au plafonnier 23 par l'intermédiaire d'éléments complémentaires fixés aux organes d'accrochage du plafonnier 23.  In the example of the figures, the ends of the slings 24a-24d are fixed directly to the attachment members of the ceiling lamp 23, but they can also be fixed to the ceiling lamp 23 by means of complementary elements fixed to the fastening members of the ceiling lamp 23.
En ce qui concerne les plaques de protection 16a, 16b qui constituent les terminaisons de chaque extrémité de poutre, elles protègent les anneaux 18a, 18b, les embases 14a, 14b et les organes de verrouillage 15a, 15b équipant la poutre, lorsque cette poutre est déposée sur le sol.  As regards the protection plates 16a, 16b which constitute the terminations of each beam end, they protect the rings 18a, 18b, the bases 14a, 14b and the locking members 15a, 15b fitted to the beam, when this beam is deposited on the floor.
A cet effet, ces plaques de protection 16a, 16b ont des dimensions suffisantes pour que, la poutre 11 étant posée au sol en appui sur les tranches des plaques de protection 16a, 16b, les différents éléments équipant cette poutre soient espacés éloignés du sol.  For this purpose, these protective plates 16a, 16b have sufficient dimensions so that, the beam 11 being placed on the ground bearing on the edges of the protective plates 16a, 16b, the various elements equipping the beam are spaced apart from the ground.
