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

Nautical Vessel {SEAGOING VESSEL, PARTICULARLY A PASSENGER VESSEL}

The present invention relates to a sailing vessel, such as a passenger ship, in which a hull with at least one overhang is constructed on a waterline, the length of the vessel exceeding the dimensions allowed by the overhang on the basis of geopolitical length limitations.

For example, geopolitical length restrictions must be observed in order to pass through the canal's water gate. Sailing vessels which must comply with the above dimensions have a relatively smaller carrying capacity than vessels exceeding the maximum dimensions allowed to pass through the route of operation, for example the Panama Canal. Therefore, in order to comply with the "PanamaMax Dimensions", the operator of a sailing vessel 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 observing geopolitical 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 sailing vessel to increase passenger transport capacity while complying with geopolitical dimensional regulations without reducing the luxury component of a cruise ship required by passengers.

In order to achieve the above object, in a sailing vessel, 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 carrying capacity of a sailing vessel, an overhang portion that forms an excessive length beyond the permissible length of transport on a sailing route with geopolitical dimensional specifications may be popped or removed as necessary. One or more component units that can be operated in reverse.

A sailing vessel constructed in accordance with 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, which forms an excessive length exceeding the allowable length of the passenger ship, is constructed or eliminated before the ship passes through a water gate such as a Panama Canal. For this purpose, the entire part of the overhang is configured as a configuration unit which can be operated in reverse.

After the portion is constructed or removed to spring up, the length of the passenger ship is reduced to the length allowed for the Panama Canal.

The bow may be constructed as a component unit which can be operated in reverse 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 with a geopolitical length limitation, 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 cross geopathic routes such as the Panama Canal. However, according to the present invention, by using a component unit that can be operated in reverse to selectively reduce the length of the ship, the length from the extension arranged during the day by protrudingly manufacturing or removing the bow configured as a component unit that can be reversely adjusted To compensate for the increase.

For example, a portion of the overhang that forms an excessive length exceeding the allowable length may be configured to spring up 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 already separated from the hull and lower the component unit on the front deck before the ship passes through a water gate such as a Panama Canal. During the passage the ship may use the component units. After the ship has passed through the canal, the construction unit carried on the ship is laid down 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 The component units, which are adjusted to align with each other at their normal positions exceeding their possible lengths, form a bow section assembled into the hull. When the component units are removed or springed up 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, i.e. when the fore part is removed or protruding and then returned to its normal position, the forward edge of the stem and the inserted fore part form a line coincident with the fore part of the bow, In other words, the construction unit fore part according to the present invention is completely integrated with the hull again.

A sailing vessel according to the invention and having a component unit constitutes at least one transverse bulkhead which seals the hull of the vessel in the face area towards the component unit which can be treated. As a result, the hull of the ship, i.e. the ship of the present invention, remains fully seaworthy after the adjustable component springs up or is removed. Even if the component unit is not installed on the ship, navigational suitability is not lost. Thus, a vessel can easily navigate the Atlantic without a unit installed at 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 bearing unit of the hoist. For example, suitable fittings are provided as crane eyes.

When the component unit is configured to spring up, actuating cylinders are provided which can be operated to be configured to spring up, the cylinders are operated by the adjusting link mechanism, and the linking mechanism forms the bouncing motion of the component unit.

The component unit and the hull have restraining means for forming an operational connection with each other. By 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.

In order to commence the work of forming or removing the spring, or to be connected after the component unit is set back in place, for example, a remote control means which can be operated from the bridge of the ship and can be selectively operated is constrained. It can be configured in the means.

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

1 is a side view showing the front portion of a passenger ship. The hull 1 of the passenger ship has a hangover on the waterline, the forward edge 2 of the bow 3 inclines and the rake of the bow tip 4 of the hull 1 of the ship Up to the rear part with) and the transition part to the submerged part 5 of the ship's hull 1. The length of the ship is measured from the bow tip 4 to the stern outer end of the ship, the length of which cannot exceed the dimensions allowed for navigational routes with geopolitical length limitations, such as the Panama Canal. According to the embodiment of Figure 1, the overhang of the stern exceeds the length of the ship beyond the permissible dimensions. The excess length corresponds to the dimension between the front end position 6 and the bow tip 4 formed in the spherical bow 7 located in the water.

According to a feature of the passenger ship of the present invention, at least a part of the overhang of the bow (3) forming an excessive length as a component unit that can be operated by bouncing or removing the overhang of the bow (3) is constituted or similar means. This is made up.

In its configuration, the unit 8 has a folding mast 8 for the front row 10.

Referring to FIG. 2, the front portion of the passenger ship is shown, and when compared with FIG. 1, the component unit 8 has a structure that bounces backward. The component unit 8 is configured to spring back to the position shown around the joint portion forming the horizontal axis 11 by a driving means not shown in the figure, such as a hydraulic cylinder and a connecting rod. As the Panama Canal passes through the corresponding flight path, the pulling line 10 is released and the folding mast 9 is lowered.

Referring to FIG. 2, the length of the ship is reduced to a length that does not exceed the allowable dimension based on the geopolitical length limit because the component unit 8 is configured to bounce backwards around the horizontal axis 11.
