Ship for the selective transport of massenguetern and containers

摘要

In order to facilitate alternative transportation of containers and bulk, cargo in the same hold, the length of the holds is selected substantially to correspond with the length of a standard shipping container (14), while its breadth substantially corresponds with a multiple of the breadth of a container. Each hold is defined by transverse bulkheads (15) presenting plane support surfaces towards the hold for the containers, and support members (19) recessed into the transverse bulkheads, are adapted to be folded out by hydraulic actuators (29) for sidewardly steadying a group of containers. Upper support members are located so as to act between the uppermost and the next to uppermost container, and possible lower support members 19b act between the third and fourth container, as counted from the top. Transverse bulkheads between adjacent holds are formed as coffer dams. The support members (19) are mounted in pockets (25) in the plane support surfaces. IMAGE
