Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ship design and manufacture, and in particular to a multi-purpose closed lifeboat. Background Art

[0002] At present, the ships sailing on the sea are gradually getting larger. Some ports and docks cannot accommodate the berthing of large ships. In addition, there are shallows around most tourist islands, which makes it more difficult for large cruise ships to berth, and they need to transfer by barge. For cruise ships on island routes, barges have become important equipment. On islands far away from land, how to more conveniently visit underwater scenery is a project that cruise companies focus on when formulating travel plans. This patent proposes a fully enclosed tourist sightseeing boat that can be equipped on large cruise ships or other cargo ships in the form of a lifeboat.

[0003] Lifeboats are important facilities to ensure the safety of ship personnel. Every large ship needs to be equipped with a certain number of lifeboats to meet regulatory safety requirements.

[0004] However, for super-large cargo ships and medium-sized cruise ships, there are more restrictions on berthing when approaching the port. Some ships are unable to dock normally at some ports due to their small size. Freighters are generally transferred by smaller freighters, while cruise ships need to be transferred by lighters or barges.

[0005] Due to its safety features, lifeboats are not used frequently during their life cycle, resulting in low cost returns. Lifeboats cannot provide other functions besides lifesaving. If other functions are required, such as transfers and transshipments, other types of boats of the same size need to be equipped, which is a duplication of ship equipment and takes up more equipment space.
