AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Said takes a considerable amount of time and the effect of the oil film will continue during the use of multiple pollution removal vessels
So these pollution removal ships are a very incomplete solution
In addition, the use of multiple pollution removal vessels can only work in relatively calm weather conditions and not during storms
[0007] These pollution removal ships cannot prevent ships in distress from sinking and at this point become a kind of "time bomb" that can create long-term pollution accidents, while such ships on the seabed pose a significant ecological risk

Embodiment Construction

[0044] FIG. 1 shows a rescue vessel 10 having a dock 12 , a front 16 , a rear door 18 and a bottom 20 of substantial size defined between two transverse hulls 14 . The ship also has a bridge 22, which is shown at the front but could occupy any other position on the ship.

[0045]The vessel also advantageously includes a propulsion engine, in particular a steering engine allowing lateral movement for the front and rear, stabilizers and wave plates, etc., but these components are not represented. It also includes a winch capable of towing the boat into the dock 12 when the rear door 18 is open. This winch can be mounted on a gantry crane gantry which is preferably fixed above the door or can be moved along the dock. The vessel can also include two gantry crane gantry, one of which is movable.

[0046] The rescue vessel preferably also includes means for guiding the distressed vessel and maintaining it in the dock, such as hydraulic jacking means incorporated in the dock.

Abstract

A rescue ship for a disabled vessel includes a hull which delimits an elongated dock ( 12 ) which is at least 150 m long and preferably at least 250 m long and at least 30 m wide and preferably at least 45 m wide, and including a ballasting device enabling draught modification by at least 15 m and preferably at least 20 m. The hull has two lateral hulls capable of being ballasted ( 14 ) and enclosing the dock ( 12 ), and the stem has a practically sealed door ( 18 ) which can close the rear of the dock ( 12 ). The ship further includes maneuvering elements designed to exert a thrust in one direction transverse at least to the longitudinal axis of the ship. The invention is applicable to the rescue of disabled vessels.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rescue ship for ships in distress, its method of operation and the use of such a ship. Background technique [0002] Any type of damage that occurs in a tanker carrying toxic materials can create a pollution incident known in the case of hydrocarbons as an "oil sheen". The consequences of these pollution accidents are severe. The losses of the tanker can be enumerated in detail as: sinking (value of the vessel), loss of part or all of the cargo, and mainly serious economic losses related to coastal pollution (damage of the site, abandonment of fish farms, loss of wildlife destruction, losses from fisheries, etc.). [0003] These oil slicks are thus the source of a variety of ecological problems with highly political consequences. [0004] It must also be noted that these pollution accidents can not only be caused by accidents on tankers that are in bad condition or that are old, but that the same problem can arise with uns...
