COUPLING METHOD OF BRAGE AND PUSHER BOAT

摘要

PURPOSE:To enable sailing while integrating a barge and a pusher boat, by coupling the bow and both sides of pusher boat fitted in a recess at the stern of barge through couplings. CONSTITUTION:A recess 3 for completely fitting a pusher boat 2 is made at the stern of a barge 1. The gow and both sides of pusher boat 2 are coupled through couplings 4a-4c to the recess 3 of barge 1. Rolling and pitching of pusher boat 2 are prevented by each coupling 4a-4c to sail under integrated state.
