Definitions

• the invention relates to a sea-going ship, in particular a passenger ship, the hull of which has at least one overhang on the water side, which causes the length of the ship to be exceeded beyond what is permissible due to length restrictions due to the region.
• Area-related length restrictions are e.g. For example, when passing through channel locks. Seagoing vessels that have to comply with these dimensions necessarily have a lower useful load capacity than ships that are used to pass the respective shipping route, e.g. B. of the Panama Canal, still exceed the maximum permissible dimensions. So z. B. compliance with the so-called "Panama max. Dimensions" that the operator of a seagoing vessel that is to use the Panama Canal has to accept the economic disadvantages of predetermined limits of the useful carrying capacity of the respective ocean-going vessel.
• the number of passengers that can be carried is the main criterion for economic considerations of the shipping company.
• the invention is based on the object of designing a seagoing ship in such a way that it still has higher passenger capacities if the length restrictions imposed by the regulations are adhered to, in particular without reducing the comfort which is customary on cruise ships and which passengers are expecting or are used to today.
• the part of the overhang of the fore-pass that constitutes the exceeding of the length of the ocean-going vessel permissible for traffic on shipping roads with length restrictions due to the region is at least one if necessary by folding away, taking away or same measure reversible manageable unit.
• the sea-going vessel designed according to the invention can have a length dimension which, although it exceeds the length dimension permissible for the respective shipping route, the passenger capacity, however, advantageously being increased in comparison to the passenger capacity of a passenger ship that complies with the permissible ship length. In particular, this increase in passenger capacity is given without having to accept comfort restrictions for the passengers.
• the entire part of the overhang which is the exceeding of the permitted length of the passenger ship, folded away or removed. This is possible because the part is designed as a reversible unit.
• the passenger ship After being folded away or taken away, the passenger ship is shortened to the length permitted for the Panama Canal.
• the design of the preliminary stage as a reversibly manageable structural unit can already be provided when a passenger ship is built. However, it is also particularly advantageously possible to retrofit correspondingly to passenger ships that are already in motion. Such passenger ships would be made suitable subsequently, shipping routes with length restrictions due to the revolutions, e.g. B. the Panama Canal.
• the invention enables a shipowner of a cruise ship to test the capacity of its passenger To subsequently increase the ship by lengthening the passenger ship by an intermediate segment, for example a segment positioned in the middle of the ship. Such a passenger ship subsequently extended in terms of passenger capacity would make it permissible to pass a shipping route with length restrictions due to the area, eg. B. the Panama Canal, in and of itself.
• the part of the overhang that exceeds the permissible length can, for. B. can be folded away so that it rests on the remaining area of the foredeck. However, it is also possible to take it away, e.g. B. with a hoist.
• the lifted unit can also, for. B. on the remaining foredeck.
• a crane standing on land before entering a first lock e.g. B. the Panama Canal
• a first lock e.g. B. the Panama Canal
• the Panama Canal which may have already detached from the hull and place it on the foredeck so that the ocean-going vessel carries the unit during the passage through the Panama Canal.
• the unit carried along can be reinserted into the bow of the seagoing vessel using a suitable lifting device.
• the manageable unit is a bow segment, which is fitted into the hull so that the case of the Vorstevens leading edges of Vorsteven of the fuselage and bow segment, as well as the surfaces of the segment and the outer skin forming the side wall in the normal position in which the exceeding of the for passing the respective shipping road, z. B. the Panama Canal, allowable ship length is given, aligned.
• the bow stem only consists of the bow stem section integrated in the hull. Only when the segment is fitted back into the ship's hull, i.e.
• the sea-going ship designed with the structural unit according to the invention is also advantageously characterized in that it has at least one transverse bulkhead closing the hull in the region of its side facing the manageable structural unit. It follows from this that the ship's hull or the seagoing vessel according to the invention can also be handled after the collapsible or removed
• the passenger ship could thus easily travel to the Atlantic without the front-end unit; because the transverse bulkhead is integrated into its outer skin.
• fittings for attaching load suspension devices appropriate lifting equipment.
• Suitable fittings can e.g. B. Crane eyes.
• working cylinders can be provided for folding away, which can also act on corresponding steering linkages via which the folding movement of the assembly is effected.
• the structural unit and the hull are preferably equipped with locking means which can be brought into operative connection with one another. With the locking means, the structural unit with the ship's hull can be securely held in the normal position, in which the structural unit is integrated in the bow or in the bow.
• the locking means can be equipped with selectively operable remote controls, which can be operated, for example, from the bridge of the seagoing ship in order to initiate the folding or removal or to effect a security after the unit has been reinserted.
• Fig. 1 shows the front part of a seagoing ship in a side view
• Fig. 2 shows the front part of a seagoing ship according to FIG. 1, but with the bow tip folded away according to the invention, here folded back or attached.
• Fig. 1 shows the front part of a passenger ship in a side view.
• the hull 1 of the passenger ship has an overhang on the water side, ie the front edge 2 of the bow 3 extends obliquely backwards and downwards with the case visible here from the bow tip 4 of the ship's hull 1 to the transition into the underwater part 5 of the ship's hull 1.
• the overhang of the preliminary stage means that the length of the ship is exceeded by the permissible extent. This overshoot corresponds to the dimension between the foremost end point 6 of the underwater bulge 7 and the nose tip 4.
• the passenger ship shown here is characterized by the configuration of the part of the overhang of the fore-end 3 that makes up the overrun as at least one structural unit 8 that can be handled if necessary by folding away, taking off or the like.
• the assembly 8 carries a folding mast 9 for the forestay 10.
• FIG. 2 The front part of the passenger ship is shown in FIG. 2, with the structural unit 8 now being shown in a folded-back position compared to FIG. 1.
• the assembly 8 can be folded back into the position shown here about joints which define a horizontal axis 11 by means of drive means, not shown, such as hydraulic cylinders and linkages.
• the forestay 10 is for the time of passage of the respective Shipping route, e.g. B. the Panama Canal, dismantled and the folding mast 9 is placed.
• Fig. 2 illustrates that by folding back the assembly 8 about the horizontal axis 11, the length of the ship has been shortened to a length of ship which corresponds to the dimensions still permissible due to length restrictions due to the area.
