COASTAL POINT FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING SHIPS AND METHOD OF ITS STRUCTURE

摘要

FIELD: coastal points for loading and unloading bulk liquid cargo and/or bulk dry cargo, for example, oil or liquefied natural gas. SUBSTANCE: coastal point is constructed from two floating containers or settlers whose length at least corresponds to length of ship; they are positioned at distance from each other exceeding ship's breadth, thus creating inlet and outlet passages which are perpendicular to direction of prevailing wind and/or stream at area of position of point, to main direction of ice drift, in particular. Containers and settlers are made in form of berth for ships. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 19 cl, 3 dwg
