Description

  The present invention relates to a floating structure or a ship having an elongated hull portion with an upper structure including a plurality of floors, as described in the introduction portion of claim 1. This superstructure includes the main part of the passenger accommodation such as a floating structure or a ship.

  The meaning of some terms used in this specification is explained below. By main deck is meant the uppermost deck with the sides of the ship extending over the entire length of the ship. Everything above that is the superstructure. Thus, the main deck extends across the width from side to side. That is, the main deck is a full width deck. Here, the accommodation facility means a space reserved for passengers, that is, customers, and is usually a cabin, and the accommodation facility for crew members is separate. The ship includes a hull portion and a superstructure. The “roof” of the hull is the main deck. The superstructure is placed on the main deck. The superstructure can be composed of two parts, the wider part mainly including public spaces intended for common use, and the narrower part, the so-called cabin block, mainly covers the cabin. Including. The wider part may be at the top or bottom.

  In addition, a floating structure such as a cruise ship including many accommodation facilities according to the present invention includes many so-called public spaces intended for passenger sharing. These include, for example, various restaurants, bars and corresponding recreational spaces, spaces related to and intended for general access and entertainment, various exercise rooms, and various spaces and pools especially suitable for outdoor activities and sunbathing including. The ship may further include a store, a conference room, etc. depending on the use plan of the ship. Divide one part of these public spaces to be associated with the main deck of the ship above and / or below, and another part with the sun deck of the top deck of the ship's superstructure It is known to do. Typically, passenger cabins or corresponding accommodation are mainly located between these areas of the ship's superstructure.

  Also, particularly in ships that operate in cooler areas that do not require a large sun deck, most of the public space can be placed in the upper part of the superstructure.

  With modern technology, there is a problem with placing a so-called sun deck space that is large and versatile enough to be covered and in particular without a roof, in relation to the main deck, rather than on multiple floors. is there.

  The object of the present invention is to minimize the disadvantages found in the prior art and to make the functional and particularly suitable to meet the needs of a larger number of passengers than before by the rearrangement of various parts of space and structure. It is providing the new structure which can provide a floating body structure or a ship more effective and cheaper.

  The object of the invention is achieved substantially as described in claim 1 and as disclosed in more detail in other claims.

  The present invention results in a configuration in which most public spaces and sun decks are arranged in association with the so-called main deck or top and / or widest deck of the ship. This main deck area typically includes one to three deck intervals. In the ship according to the present invention, it is preferable to overlap the functions of the sun deck and other public spaces, sometimes the sun deck supplements the functions of the public space during meals, etc. It can be used as a function of the sun deck. Since cruise ships typically have a large sun deck, in the solution according to the invention, the public space deck is preferably extended out of the side of the ship so that it is as much as possible. This creates a wide deck space. It is also preferable to form the passenger cabin as a single tower that is clearly narrower but higher than the hull. Thereby, most cabins can have a sea view. It is also possible to divide the superstructure into two or more parts in association with a wide deck arranged on the hull part.

  In particular, the advantage of the present invention is a more attractive configuration of floating structures, in particular cruise ships or passenger ships, which allows all functions to be located within the same area, thus adding value to the owner. Bring. Since all the functions of a typical public space are integrated as much as possible, the need to move up and down in the ship is essentially reduced. This also reduces the need for staircase and elevator capabilities. For shipowners operating a ship, the arrangement according to the invention is cost-effective, since the crew's workplace can be mainly located in a single area and the need for storage and transportation is minimized. Correspondingly, ship construction costs are reduced. For example, the need for stairs, kitchens and other ancillary spaces is reduced as a result of aggregation. The large width of the wide deck according to the present invention provides the opportunity to place large constant spaces on smaller ships that were previously only possible on larger ships. Since this space can be used for multiple purposes, its occupancy also increases. Since the passenger travels in the same area all the time except the time spent in the cabin, the total space reserved for the passenger is reduced.

  A preferred method of using the present invention is to aggregate all or at least approximately all public space between the hull part and a so-called cabin block, which is a narrow part of the superstructure, where it is outside the side of the ship. Is to place a wide deck that extends to Alternatively, the wide deck and public space may be correspondingly concentrated in the upper part of the superstructure.

  In the following, the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.

It is sectional drawing which shows one Example of the ship by this invention. It is sectional drawing which shows another Example of the ship by this invention. FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating an alternative embodiment of a ship according to the present invention. FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating an alternative embodiment of a ship according to the present invention.

  In the drawings, reference numeral 1 indicates a hull portion of a ship. Above this is the superstructure 2. The superstructure 2 is at least mostly used only for passenger accommodation. Reference numeral 3 designates a wide deck extending essentially beyond the hull part 1 in the width direction of the ship according to the invention. Reference numeral 4 indicates a public space shared by passengers. Reference numeral 5 indicates a lifeboat. The reference symbol H indicates the total height of the ship from the bottom of the structure to the uppermost continuous part of the structure. The reference symbol h1 indicates the height of the superstructure 2, and the reference symbol h2 indicates the height of the hull portion 1 measured up to the height of the wide deck 3 in FIG. Reference symbol B indicates the width of the wide deck 3. When this width changes in the length direction of the ship, the reference sign B means the average width of the wide deck 3. The width of the superstructure 2 is indicated by b1 and is measured at the weatherproof outer part. In this case, it should be understood that the superstructure cabin may comprise a balcony. The balconies can be provided with walls, which can be optionally pulled to cover the balconies and can serve as a weatherproof protective material against the surrounding environment. The width of the hull is indicated by b2.

  Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 1, the wide deck 3 is disposed between the hull portion 1 and the superstructure 2. At least essentially all public spaces intended for passenger sharing are arranged in relation to the wide deck 3, in practice from one to three decks. Corridors and corresponding special spaces and crew space are, of course, not included in these. In some situations, public spaces can be easily combined and separated as needed, for example by walls and other devices. It is also possible to change the function. Thereby, for example, the wide deck 3 functions as a so-called sun deck during the daytime and in good weather, while at night it is used as a dining room or for various entertainment purposes.

  The usefulness of the wide deck 3 can be improved by providing a movable cover (not shown) on the deck or part of the deck. In order to minimize possible smoke and / or odor problems, the ship's exhaust system is located under the superstructure 2 and the exhaust gas is directed outward from the hull portion 1 under the wide deck 3. Preferably (not shown).

  In practice, the advantages of the present invention are optimally realized by configuring the main part of the width b 1 of the superstructure 2 to be less than 50% of the average width of the wide deck 3. Furthermore, preferably, the wide deck 3 is more than 5% wider than the average width b2 of the hull portion 1. Furthermore, most preferably, the length of the superstructure 2 is more than 50% of the maximum length of the ship. Thus, the largest part of the ship's public space can be arranged in relation to the wide deck 3. The largest part of the ship's public space is most preferably at least 70%.

  The height h1 of the upper structure 2 measured in the uppermost continuous structure extending above the main body portion of the upper structure is such that the main body portion has a height h1 of the upper structure 2 and a height of the hull portion 1. It is preferably selected to be more than 50% of the height H of the combination with the height h2. By making the superstructure relatively narrow and thus lighter, it is possible to increase the height of the superstructure. This makes it possible to use at least 70%, preferably 90%, or even all cabins for accommodating customers, ie passengers of the superstructure 2. Thereby, furthermore, at least most of the cabins can be provided with a balcony. Although the accommodation facility for crew members can be conventionally arranged in the hull part 2, by using the present invention, a part of the cabin for crew members can also be arranged in the superstructure 2. Further, when the large structure does not extend in the width direction of the upper structure 2, all the cabins can provide an unobstructed sea view.

  Also, the embodiment of FIG. 1 can be modified such that the upper structure 2 comprises two or more upper structure units (see FIG. 4). Therefore, they are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the hull part 1 so that they are arranged over less than 50% of the length.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the wide deck 3 is arranged above the upper structure 2. In this case, the actual superstructure 2 comprises a wider part on the main deck and a narrower part, i.e. a so-called cabin block. Thereby, the wide deck 3 is arranged on a narrower part of the superstructure. In this case, although it is possible to arrange more public spaces than the related art in association with the wide deck 3, it is not possible to aggregate public spaces having the same size as the embodiment of FIG.

  3 and 4 show some practical variants for implementing the embodiment of FIG. As can be seen, the uppermost continuous structure extending over the body portion of the superstructure according to the present invention, although a variety of higher separate structures can be on the superstructure. These are not taken into account when defining the height of the superstructure measured in In the embodiment of FIG. 3, at the stern of the ship, the chimney 7 is oriented so that it is clearly directed above the upper structure through the wide deck and beside the upper structure. Thereby, the possible smoke and odor problems can be easily eliminated. Furthermore, in the embodiment of FIG. 3, as indicated by reference numeral 6, a part of the deck 3 is also covered. As a result, this part is also protected from wind and rain. Moreover, the cover 6 can also be opened as needed.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the public space includes a swimming pool area 8 that is located in the central part of the ship. An exhaust pipe 7 ′ is directed under the wide deck 3 in the stern direction of the ship. Furthermore, the superstructure 2 itself includes two units 2a and 2b arranged in succession.

  The actual implementation of the inventive idea is not limited to what the hull part itself contains. Thus, for example, the hull portion can include one or more car decks so that the vessel can also function as a car ferry as needed. In this case, of course, the hull part must be provided with a known openable ramp for moving the car. In addition, the hull section typically includes crew space, maintenance space and storage, and machinery and fuel tanks.

  The invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but several modifications can be considered within the scope of the appended claims.
