Method for improving ship handling efficiency of containers (or bulk cargo) and equipment thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving handling efficiency of containers (or bulk cargo) and equipment thereof. The equipment is a floating pier with self-propulsion and continuous propulsion functions, wherein, the floating pier is arranged on a submarine locating platform, handling mechanical equipment carries out handling operation at one side by the sea, and the unloaded (loaded) containers (or the bulk cargo) are output or input by floating pier horizontal transportation equipment. The invention has the following advantages: 1. compared with the traditional handling mode, the handling efficiency is doubled; 2. dead-weight of the structure of the mechanical equipment is lowered on the existing basis, thus saving a great amount of investment cost; 3. infrastructure investment cost of ports and docks is greatly reduced; and 4. the floating pier is firmly bonded with the submarine locating platform without displacement, thus greatly improving safety performance, guaranteeing safety of the floating pier during the handling process, achieving the purpose of handling the containers (or the bulk cargo) from two sides of a ship at the same time, enhancing the handling efficiency, accelerating the ship turnover, and saving a great quantity of shore land of the ports and the docks and a great quantity of infrastructure cost of the docks.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the category of loading and unloading methods and equipment at port terminal berths, and particularly relates to a method and equipment for improving the loading and unloading efficiency of container (or bulk cargo) ships. Background technique [0002] At present, when loading and unloading container (or bulk cargo) ships, port terminals generally use container loading and unloading bridges (or gantry cranes) to carry out loading and unloading operations on fixed docks. Even if the maximum capacity of the loading and unloading machinery and equipment is fully utilized, the loading and unloading capacity will be limited. It can only be maintained at a fixed number. Currently, in order to increase the cargo volume of cargo ships, countries around the world are currently pursuing large and ultra-large ships to obtain the maximum transportation volume and maximum economic benefits. However, as ships become larger, port machinery a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

But it exists: 1. The device has no self-propelled endurance capability, and needs to use the power of the tugboat to solve the problem of movement; 2. Use the injection or discharge of ballast water in multiple ballast tanks arranged on the lower surface of the barge to achieve fixed purpose of the device

The problem it brings is that the degree of joint between the equipment and the stone bed on the seabed is determined by the ballast water, and the device is prone to drift during loading and unloading, which may cause major safety accidents such as overturning beyond the range of the stone bed; 3. It takes a long time to inject ballast water, and the time affecting loading and unloading operations may be prolonged; 4. The device has no positioning system with the stone bed, which also affects the lengthening of loading and unloading operations
