ALBERT NILE-1: Modular ferry for Ugandan waters

摘要

Notably, the Damen-designed, 42.4m ferry Albert Nile-1 has been entirely configured from container-sized floating units. These units, which are referred to as Damen Modular Barges, can be likened to 'building blocks' and used to construct vessels and/or pontoons. They are transportable to remote areas, inland waterways and coastal spots, and represent a potential solution for parties requiring vessels at land-locked water areas, for example, permitting assembly to be conducted on site. Each Damen Modular Barge consists of a 20' (6.1 m) or 40' (12.2m) container-sized module.
