Bottom ballast water tanks are installed at the bottom of the intermediate ballast water tanks. The gap between the two sets of intermediate ballast water tanks and the bottom ballast water tank form an empty compartment and safety passage. A bow superstructure is installed at one end of both sets of intermediate ballast water tanks, and a main engine room is installed at the other end. A stern ballast water tank is fixedly installed on one side of the main engine room, and a steering gear room is fixedly installed on one side of the stern ballast water tank. A deck is installed above the steering gear room, stern ballast water tank, main engine room, and intermediate ballast water tanks. A diesel engine is fixedly installed inside the main engine room. A propulsion gearbox is fixedly installed at the output end of the diesel engine. A propeller and tail shaft are fixedly installed through the output end of the propulsion gearbox through the main engine room. A funnel is installed above the deck and is connected to the diesel engine.
[0006] Preferably, a head four-anchor positioning winch is symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the head structure. One end of the head four-anchor positioning winch is fixedly connected to a head positioning anchor cable. One end of the head positioning anchor cable is fixedly connected to a head positioning anchor and anchor frame. A cable guide is also fixedly installed on one side of the head structure. The head positioning anchor cable passes around the cable guide. The head four-anchor positioning winch, the head positioning anchor and anchor frame, the cable guide, and the head positioning anchor cable together form the head anchor positioning system.
[0007] Preferably, a tail four-anchor positioning winch is fixedly installed on one side of the stern ballast tank. The output end of the tail four-anchor positioning winch is fixedly connected to a tail positioning anchor cable. One end of the tail positioning anchor cable is fixedly installed with a tail positioning anchor and anchor frame. An anchor cable guide pulley is also fixed on one side of the stern ballast tank. The tail positioning anchor cable passes around the anchor cable guide pulley. The tail four-anchor positioning winch, tail positioning anchor cable, anchor cable guide pulley, tail positioning anchor and anchor frame together form a tail anchor positioning system.
[0008] Preferably, a tail appendage is fixedly installed on the middle of one side of the servo compartment.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the deck cargo ship with a four-anchor positioning system proposed in this utility model are as follows: This utility model is equipped with a four-anchor positioning system, namely two bow anchor positioning systems and two stern anchor positioning systems, which can maintain the ship's position and smoothly load and unload cargo even in non-port areas. It can carry out large cargo transportation operations in unlimited navigation areas around the world and has good market prospects. The diesel engine, propeller and stern shaft are arranged at the stern, and the smokestack is located at the stern. The intake and exhaust of the diesel engine are directly through the stern smokestack, which reduces the requirements for the diesel engine.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0019] Reference Figure 1-5 A deck cargo ship with a four-anchor positioning system includes two sets of intermediate ballast water tanks 5. The two sets of intermediate ballast water tanks 5 are symmetrically arranged. A bottom ballast water tank 6 is installed at the bottom of each intermediate ballast water tank 5. The gap between the two sets of intermediate ballast water tanks 5 and the bottom ballast water tank 6 form an empty compartment / safe passageway 14, through which personnel can pass during cargo transport. A bow superstructure 8 is installed at one end of both sets of intermediate ballast water tanks 5, and a main engine room 4 is installed at the other end of both sets of intermediate ballast water tanks 5. A stern ballast water tank 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the main engine room 4, and a... The steering gear room 2, the stern ballast water tank 3, the main engine room 4, and the intermediate ballast water tank 5 are all connected by a deck. The main engine room 4 houses a diesel engine 9. The output end of the diesel engine 9 is fixedly installed with a propulsion gearbox 10. The output end of the propulsion gearbox 10 passes through the main engine room 4 and is fixedly installed with a propeller and tail shaft 11. A funnel 7 is installed above the deck. The funnel 7 is connected to the diesel engine 9. The intake and exhaust of the diesel engine 9 are directly through the funnel 7, which reduces the requirements for the diesel engine 9. The diesel engine 9 drives the propeller and tail shaft 11 through the propulsion gearbox 10, thus enabling the ship to navigate.
[0020] Bottom ballast tank 6 and middle ballast tank 5 provide sufficient ballast water for ships to transport large cargo, ensuring the stability of the ship during navigation.
[0021] A head four-anchor positioning winch 12-1 is symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the head superstructure 8. One end of the head four-anchor positioning winch 12-1 is fixedly connected to the head positioning anchor cable 12-4. One end of the head positioning anchor cable 12-4 is fixedly connected to the head positioning anchor and anchor frame 12-2. A cable guide 12-3 is also fixedly installed on one side of the head superstructure 8. The head positioning anchor cable 12-4 passes around the cable guide 12-3. The head four-anchor positioning winch 12-1, the head positioning anchor and anchor frame 12-2, the cable guide 12-3, and the head positioning anchor cable 12-4 together form the head anchor positioning system.
[0022] A tail four-anchor positioning winch 13-1 is fixedly installed on one side of the stern ballast tank 3. The output end of the tail four-anchor positioning winch 13-1 is fixedly connected to the tail positioning anchor cable 13-2. One end of the tail positioning anchor cable 13-2 is fixedly installed with the tail positioning anchor and anchor frame 13-4. An anchor cable guide pulley 13-3 is also fixed on one side of the tail ballast tank 3. The tail positioning anchor cable 13-2 passes around the anchor cable guide pulley 13-3. The tail four-anchor positioning winch 13-1, the tail positioning anchor cable 13-2, the anchor cable guide pulley 13-3, and the tail positioning anchor and anchor frame 13-4 together form the tail anchor positioning system.
[0023] In addition to two positioning winches, two anchor winches are usually installed at the bow of similar ships, which takes up a lot of space. However, the four anchor positioning winches 12-1 at the bow of this ship can also serve as anchor winches for navigation anchors, effectively saving space.
[0024] A stern appendage 1 is fixedly installed on the middle of one side of the steering gear compartment 2. The stern appendage 1 ensures that when the stern of the ship is berthed at the dock for loading and unloading cargo, the stern positioning anchor and anchor frame 13-4 do not exceed the stern appendage 1, effectively protecting the stern positioning anchor and anchor frame 13-4.
