Methods for constructing and supporting giant multi-hulled catamaran and trimaran ships

摘要

Methods for constructing and supporting giant-sized multi-hulled catamaran and trimaran ships, as well as the various ships which can be produced according to these methods, ferry boats, semi-submersible offshore platforms, catamaran factory ships, and also military ships such as trimaran aircraft carriers, helicopter carriers, trimaran destroyers and cruisers, helicopter/VTOL aircraft-carriers. Two prefabricated hulls 15 and 16 are connected by a framework 14 by virtue of two cranes 5 in order to obtain a catamaran. The latter is taken out of two dry docks 2 and 3 to leave space for a hull 17 which is in turn joined to the framework 14 in order to form a trimaran ship. IMAGE
