Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a ship body transfer method under the condition of multi-working condition bearing with size limitation, and belongs to the technical field of engineering construction. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the shipbuilding industry, the transfer of ship bodies is a crucial link that runs through various stages such as construction, maintenance, modification, and daily operation. However, with the continuous increase in the size of ships and the limitations of construction and maintenance sites, the challenges in the process of ship body transfer have become increasingly prominent. In particular, in limited spaces such as ports, docks, or shipyards, how to efficiently and safely complete the transfer of ship bodies has become a problem that needs to be solved in the industry.

[0003] Traditional ship body transfer methods often rely on large floating cranes, gantry cranes, or tugboats, but these methods have many limitations in practical application. For example, floating cranes and gantry cranes have limited operating ranges and require higher site requirements, making it difficult to operate flexibly in narrow areas. While tugboats can move freely in water, their stability and safety during towing cannot be guaranteed in conditions of strong wind and waves or significant water level changes.

[0004] In addition, different ship bodies have different weights, sizes, and shapes, which also pose additional challenges to the transfer process. Traditional transfer methods often need to be customized according to the specific conditions of the ship body, which not only increases costs but also prolongs the construction period. At the same time, since the ship body needs to withstand various forces such as gravity, friction, impact, etc. during the transfer process, effective measures must be taken to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the ship body.

[0005] More complex is that the transfer of ship bodies is often affected by various working conditions such as wind direction, wind speed, tides, water flow, temperature changes, etc. These factors not only affect the smooth progress of the transfer process, but also may cause damage to the ship body or cause safety accidents. Therefore, when developing new ship body transfer methods, the influence of these working conditions must be fully considered, and appropriate measures must be taken to respond. SUMMARY

[0006] To solve the limitations of traditional ship body transfer methods in large ships, narrow sites, and complex working conditions, and to meet the size diversification needs of modern engineering, a ship body transfer method under the condition of multi-working condition bearing with size limitation is proposed to achieve safe transfer of the ship body under the condition of limited transfer site size.
