Ship for transporting e.g. rice, has tray unit accommodating goods, and loading and unloading system for loading and unloading goods using generated air flow in piping

摘要

The ship (1) has a tray unit accommodating bulk goods, and a closed loading and unloading system (3). A set of wind sources (8, 8a, 8d) e.g. blower and compressor, connected to a generator generates the airflow in a piping of the loading and unloading system so as to transport the goods from a location outside the ship to bulk goods storage or from the goods storage to the outside location. A controller controls the air sources and adjustable valves.
