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

Hangyang Line {SEAGOING VESSEL, PARTICULARLY A PASSENGER VESSEL}

The present invention relates to a cruise ship, in particular a passenger ship, in which the length of the ship is exceeded, as the hull has one or more overhangs above the surface of the water, the overhang exceeding the allowable dimensions according to the conditional length limitations in the particular zone.

For example, conditional length restrictions must be observed to pass through the canal's water gate. Harbors that must comply with these dimensions have a relatively smaller carrying capacity than ships exceeding the maximum dimensions allowed to pass a navigation route, such as a Panama Canal, for example. Therefore, in order to comply with the "Panamamax Dimensions", the operator of the Hangzhou Ship using the Panama Canal must bear the economic disadvantage of limiting the ship's carrying capacity.

In passenger ships, in particular, the number of passengers that can be transported is a criterion for efficiency at the dock. However, passenger capacity on passenger ships, such as cruise ships, which often use Panama Canals or other operating routes with applicable dimensions, is set at an upper limit due to the regulations on allowable dimensions.

By reducing the dimensions of the cabins or other areas for use by passengers, passenger transport capacity can be effectively and substantially increased while similarly complying with conditional length regulations simultaneously. The number of cabins thus increases the number of passengers that can be accommodated, but the reduced luxury component for an individual passenger and, in particular, the reduced luxury component reduces the travel reservations and demand for that passenger ship.

It is an object of the present invention to configure a cruise ship to increase passenger transport capacity while complying with conditional dimensional specifications without reducing the luxury component of a cruise ship required by passengers.

In order to achieve the above object, the features of claim 1 are provided. Further embodiments and advantageous modifications are also provided in the dependent claims.

According to the present invention, in order to maintain the effective loading capacity of the cruise ship, an overhang portion exceeding a predetermined dimension in excess of the allowable length of transportation on a sailing route having a conditional dimensional specification is reversible to be folded or removed as necessary. Consists of one or more reversible handling-capable construction units.

The cruise ship configured according to the present invention has a length exceeding the maximum allowable length for the operation route, and has the advantage that the passenger transport capacity is increased as compared to the passenger transport capacity of the passenger ship complying with the allowed ship length. In particular, passenger capacity is increased without limiting luxury features provided to passengers.

According to the present invention, the entire length of the overhang forming the excess length exceeding the allowable length of the passenger ship before the ship passes through the water gate such as the Panama Canal is configured or eliminated. The entire part of the overhang is configured for this purpose as a reversible handling-capable construction unit.

After the portion is configured to be folded or removed, the length of the passenger ship is reduced to the length allowed for the Panama Canal.

The bow may be configured as a reversible handling-capable unit while the new passenger ship is being built. There is an advantage that can continue to use the equipment installed on the vessel already in use. The passenger ship is suitable for operating a route having a conditional length limit such as a Panama Canal. In particular, according to the present invention, the owner can extend the length of the passenger ship, for example, by a portion set in the center of the ship, thereby increasing the capacity of the passenger ship already in use. Passenger ships of increased length in relation to their passenger capacity are generally not able to pass through operating routes with conditional length regulations, such as Panama Canals. According to the present invention, however, the use of a reversible handling-capable construction unit to selectively reduce the length of the vessel makes the bow folded or removed as a reversible handling-capable construction unit. To compensate for the increase in length from the extensions arranged during the day.

For example, a portion of the overhang forming a transient length exceeding the allowable length may be configured to be folded so as to be arranged on the rest of the front deck. However, for example, the part can be removed by a hoist. For example, a component unit removed by the hoist may be arranged on the front deck.

For example, if a crane installed on land is needed, lift the component unit that has already been removed from the hull, and lower the component unit onto the front deck before the ship passes through a water gate such as a Panama Canal. During the passage, the vessel may use its component units. After the ship has passed through the canal, the construction unit on board the ship is placed on the bow of the ship using a suitable hoist.

The forward part forming the rake part of the bow and the forward edges making up the bow of the hull and the outer surface forming the side of the ship and the surface of the bow part shall be allowed to pass through the operating route such as the Panama Canal Constituent units adjusted to align with each other at their normal positions exceeding their acceptable length form a bow section assembled into the hull. When the structural unit is removed or folded to reduce the length of the ship, the bow consists only of the bow part integral with the hull. Only when the fore part is assembled into the hull, that is, when the fore part is removed or folded back and then returned to its normal position, the forward edge of the stem and the inserted fore part form a line that coincides with the fore part of the bow, In other words, the construction unit bow portion according to the invention is completely integrated again with the hull.

According to the invention of the invention and with the construction unit, there is at least one transverse bulkhead which seals the hull of the ship in the face area towards the reversible handling-capable construction unit. As a result, the hull of the ship, that is, the ship of the present invention, remains fully seaworthy after the adjustable unit is folded or removed. Even if the component unit is not installed on the ship, navigational suitability is not lost. Therefore, the ship can easily navigate the Atlantic Ocean without a component unit installed in the front. This is because the transverse bulkhead is integrated on the outer surface.

To adjust the component unit to remove the component unit, fittings are provided in the component unit for installation in the load receiving unit of the hoist. For example, suitable fittings are provided as crane eyes.

When the component unit is configured to be folded, actuating cylinders are provided which can be operated to be configured to be folded, the cylinders are operated by the adjusting link mechanism, and the folding operation of the component unit is caused by the link mechanism.

The constituent unit and the hull have restraining means for forming an operational connection with each other. Using the restraining means, the component unit can be firmly fixed in position on the hull within the normal position where the component unit is integrally formed inside the bow.

Constrained by remote control means which can be actuated and optionally actuated, for example, from the bridge of the ship, to initiate work to be folded or formed or to be connected after the component unit is set back in place. It can be configured in the means.

Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the drawings.
