Definitions
- This invention relates to improvements in containerships and in particular it relates to improvements intended to increase the speed of handling containers both into and out of a cellular type containership and to increase the security of containers normally carried on the deck of containerships by altering the structural configuration of the superstructure of conventional containerships.
- the present method of lifting containers out of a typical containership or lowering them into the hold is to stack the containers in a cellular vertical guidance system, and when several adjacent stacks reach the height of the hatch coamings, these stacks are covered by steel hatch covers which serve the dual purpose of sealing the hold spaces against entry of water and to provide a platform for those containers which are to be carried on • deck.
- Patent Specification number 7529350-1975 such that the weatherdeck comprising the hatches and an upper container bearing deck is eliminated. This enables more efficient storage of containers due to space economy.
- the stability and security of the. containers is intended to be achieved by the use.of under deck guide rails being extended uninterrupted above the weather deck level.
- releasable protecting devices are provided for the sides of the containers which are above the deck to prevent water entering the hold. These devices may be in the form of spray walls which are intended to absorb the movements and forces generated by the bending of the ship.
- Surge walls can also be located between the guiderails to minimise the amount of water entering the hold.
- the present invention provides a means for the restraint of and for the protection from sea surge and spray of containers.
- the increased wall depth results in the strength deck on top of the wall approximating the position of the * uppermost container when the ship is fully laden.
- the deeper ship beam allows a narrower wall width due to increased resistance to bending. It also provides improved torsional resistance in the container ship.
- the deeper ship beam also allows less steel to be used in the ship wall without compromise to the overall structural integrity of the ship.
- the present invention simplifies the containership superstructure's configurational design ana raises the weather deck to a point whereby the containers are better protected from the elements.
- the elongated ship wall also provides built in restraint for the containers when the containership pitches and rolls and virtually eliminates the possibility of containers falling into the sea during transit in heavy seas.
- the present invention seeks to ameliorate the aforesaid shortcomings of the prior art containership loading configuration and method of containment of cargo by providing an open hull into which containers can be stacked on top of each other in vertical alignment said containers being retained in position and stabilised by an extended ship sidewall.
- This invention reduces the time taken to remove or exchange containerised cargo because no lashing of containers is required.
- the containers are restrained by the ships sides which are extended higher than normal to support the uppermost tier of containers.
- the present invention comprises a container carrying ship having a superstructure comprising: a hull; a container bearing deck located beneath the water line; sidewalls extending upwardly from the said_ container bearing deck to define a container hold located within the said hull; and a strength deck at the top of said sidewalls; wherein when the said hold is fully laden with containers, ' the depth of the said sidewalls is such that the position of the said strength deck approximates the position of the uppermost container, the side walls thereby providing support for and a weathershield for the containers.
- the containship is essentially 'U' shaped in cross section with the walls being extended to a depth considerably greater than has been known previously. This is achieved together with the elimination of the conventional coamings and hatches.
- Fig. 1 shows a midship cross sectional view of a containership superstructure according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 2 shows an abbreviated cross sectional view of the container leaving deck having alternative means for drawing bilge water
- Fig. 3 depicts an isometric view of a midship portion of a containership of indefinite length.
- Fig. 1 there is shown a midship section of a typical ship carrying nine containers high and nine containers wide, it is feasible to employ a number of varied loading configurations within the ship structure depending upon the particular size of a containership.
- the containership section shown comprises a substantially ⁇ shaped hull 1 having a container bearing deck 2 and sidewalls 3 and 4.
- the container bearing deck 2 is, when the ship is floating, below sea level.
- a hold 5 is formed by the clear passage which exists within the deck 2 and the walls 3 and 4.
- the containers 6 are placed in hold 5 in the configuration shown in Fig. 1.
- the containers can be retained transversly and equidistantly by guides 7.
- the walls 3 and 4 have been made narrower than in conventional containerships because the thickness can be reduced as a result of a deeper ship beam.
- At the top of walls 3 and 4 is a box girder forming a strength deck 8.
- the strength deck 8 is sutstantially in alignment with the uppermost row of containers 9 and thereby provides lateral restraint and weather protection for the containers.
- FIG. 1 also shows that the normal hatch coamings, hatch covers and associated lashing devices which are used in the prior art containerships are eliminated.
- the freeboard of the vessel is increased proportionally and side plating extended up, adjacent to the uppermost row of containers 9 in the stack, thus affording protection of all containers against heavy weather damage.
- transverse members and bulkheads (not shown), appropriately positioned along the length of the containership.
- the container bearing deck 2 as depicted in Fig. 1, is inwardly cambered towards a centrally located drain 10.
- the camber is so designed to facilitate the progress of bilge water toward the drain so it can be subsequently pumped out.
- the elongated walls 3 and 4 provide significant protection for the containers against the elements it is inevitable that some water either from rain or spray will enter the snip. This necessitates the provision of a means for drawing and pumping the water.
- each hold may be appropriately divided to reduce free surface effects to a minimum and suitable hold pumping arrangements provided.
- Various methods may be used for keeping the holds drained of rainwater and spray-and
- Figs. 1 and 2 show two alternative methods of draining to bilge hat boxes or drains 11 recessed in the double bottom of the ship.
- the container bearing deck 2 is adapted with bilge hat boxes at its lateral extremities.
- the double bottom tank top may be straight and not cambered as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 with suitable drainage and pumping arrangements provided.
- Fig. 3 shows an isometric view of the midship portion of a ship fully loaded with containers.
- the containers 6 are shown bearing on support rails 12 running longitudinally along the ship hull.
