Abstract

A cargo transport container for towing by a ship comprises at least one flexible hose 1 having a loading/unloading means at one end and which is connected to a buoyant raft 2. The raft is provided with a beacon (3, Fig 2) when awaiting towing. Preferably the cargo is a liquid.

Description

DESCRIPTION I David Evans, as the sole inventor do hereby declare the invention for which I pray that a patent maybe granted to me and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in by the following description : The present invention relates to a cargo transportation container. More particularly it relates to a flexible tubular container used to transport liquids. according to the present invention there is provided a cargo transportation container, comprising a flexible tubular container fitted with a secured releasable sealant control. The said sealant control will be provided means of releasably securing to an appropriate transport conveyance either at or adjacent the end thereof which end is situated adjacent the rear end of the said conveyer. It will be provided means co-operable to the sliding movement of the said conveyer, catchment means will be provided also arresting the sliding movement of the tubular containers.
9 preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which FIG 1 a cross section of a cargo transportation container.
FIG 2 a design of a releasable sealant control.
The cargo transportation container consists of a tube like flexible container that will be sealed either end according the task set te achieve these said ends will in part be fitted releasable sealant controls which act as stop taps. The said sealant controls will be provided means of attaching and detaching to a co-operable towing system.
The system will be provided a suitable serviceable mechanism that will allow quantifiable towing.
