Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of marine transshipment equipment, and more specifically, it relates to a transshipment platform with multiple ship types and multiple berths. Background Technology

[0002] Transshipment platforms are used for offshore transshipment. They provide temporary berths for deep-draft transport vessels, allowing equipment to be unloaded from these vessels and loaded onto shallow-draft vessels via roll-on / roll-off (Ro-Ro) or hoisting methods. Transshipment platforms play a crucial role in transporting personnel via Ro-Ro passenger ships on shorelines without docks. Currently, unloading large Ro-Ro passenger ships is a critical issue. To meet the requirements for unloading large Ro-Ro passenger ships, offshore transshipment platforms must be capable of berthing Ro-Ro passenger ships, facilitating gangway connections, transporting Ro-Ro vehicles and equipment, and providing passage for vehicles and equipment on the platform deck. This places specific requirements on the platform's channel capacity, operating sea conditions, suitable vessel types, and number of berths. Currently, unloading can only be carried out in sea state 3. When the effective wave height exceeds 1.0m, the swaying of the ship and platform intensifies, the working interface becomes unstable, the risk of ship berthing increases, the suspended load experiences resonant swaying, the Ro-Ro gangway collides with the platform, berthing stability deteriorates, and operations must be terminated. Existing offshore barge platforms all employ single-point anchoring for maritime positioning. While single-point anchoring can utilize the "weathervane" effect to reduce anchor loads, the platform and berthed ships drift around the anchor point over a wide area as environmental conditions change, making it difficult to guarantee vessel stability. Furthermore, existing offshore barge platforms have a limited number of berths, making it impossible to accommodate multiple vessels simultaneously for transshipment. Limited access channels also result in low transfer efficiency. Improving unloading efficiency is a common challenge for offshore transshipment both domestically and internationally.

[0003] Existing technology includes a patent titled "A Ship Transfer Platform" with publication number CN110329438A. This technology discloses a ship transfer platform comprising a gangway, a first flap, and connecting lugs. The connecting lugs are mounted on the ship's deck. A first connector is located on one side of the gangway, and the other side of the gangway abuts against a barge deck or dock. A second connector is located on one side of the first flap, and the other side of the first flap abuts against the ship's deck. The first connector is detachably connected to the connecting lugs via a first connecting shaft, and the second connector is detachably connected to the connecting lugs via a second connecting shaft. By using connecting lugs on the ship's deck, installation and welding can be performed directly. The gangway is installed using the first connecting shaft, and the first flap is installed using the second connecting shaft, allowing vehicles to smoothly pass over the gangway and the first flap. When the transfer platform is not needed, the first and second connecting shafts can be detached for quick installation and disassembly. However, this technology does not address the technical problems and solutions of this application. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed explanation of the specific embodiments of this utility model, including the shape and structure of each component, the relative positions and connections between the parts, the functions and working principles of each part:

[0027] As attached Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 7 As shown, this utility model is a multi-ship, multi-berth transshipment platform. The platform body 1 includes a front part 2, a rear part 3, a left part 4, and a right part 5. Berths 6 are respectively set at the positions of the front part 2, rear part 3, left part 4, and right part 5. Each berth 6 includes a positioning post 7 and a limiting part 8. The above structure addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing an improved technical solution. In the structural design, the platform body 1 is a fixed-position structure, ensuring the stability of the transshipment platform itself and enabling reliable temporary berthing of ships. The platform body 1 includes a front part 2, a rear part 3, a left part 4, and a right part 5. To achieve multi-berth functionality, berths 6 are respectively set at the positions of the front part 2, rear part 3, left part 4, and right part 5. Each berth 6 includes a positioning post 7 and a limiting part 8. Thus, for small ships, one ship can berth at one berth, while for large ships, multiple berths can berth at one ship. When a vessel is moored, it can be perpendicular to or parallel to the berth, depending on the vessel's type. Each berth has a limiting part 8 for restraining the vessel, and positioning posts 7 are inserted through both the vessel's limiting part and the limiting part 8 of the berth 6 to achieve vessel restraint, reduce swaying, and improve stability during mooring. For different vessels, one positioning post or multiple positioning posts can be used to position a single vessel. This invention effectively increases the number of berths, enabling multi-berth transshipment and improving transshipment efficiency. Different areas of the platform can accommodate vessels of different types and sizes, achieving multi-vessel transshipment. The multi-vessel, multi-berth transshipment platform described in this invention has a simple structure, allows for berthing on all four sides, adapts to swaying environments, and uses multi-point pile positioning to ensure the vessel remains stable in a fixed position, reducing drift range. It can meet the transshipment needs of different vessel types and operating conditions at sea.

[0028] The multi-ship type, multi-berth transshipment platform can accommodate various ship types, including naval vessels (9), passenger roll-on / roll-off ships (10), small transshipment boats (11), bulk carriers (12), and liquid cargo ships (16). The structure varies depending on the type and size of the vessel, and this platform structure can accommodate transshipment for different types of ships.

[0029] The platform body 1 is further equipped with mooring lines 13 at its front 2, rear 3, left 4, and right 5. In this structure, the mooring lines are used for reliable connection to the vessel.

[0030] Flexible buffer pads 14 are also provided at the front 2 and rear 3 of the platform body 1. With the above structure, the flexible buffer pads 14 play a role in limiting the movement of the ship during berthing, preventing the ship from contacting the platform when it rolls, thus avoiding collision damage to the platform.

[0031] The front section 2 and rear section 3 of the platform are equipped with multiple berths 6 spaced apart on their sides, and each berth 6 is provided with a flexible buffer pad 14 on its side. With this structure, the front section 2 and rear section 3 of the platform are used to berth large ships, and the flexible buffer pads 14 are provided to prevent collisions with the platform.

[0032] The limiting part 8 is either a planar structure or has a limiting groove 15. The limiting parts 8 of the berths 6 at the front 2 and rear 3 of the platform are respectively provided with limiting grooves 15. The limiting parts 8 of the berths 6 at the left 4 and right 5 of the platform are planar structures. In the above structures, the limiting groove 15 is used to cooperate with the limiting protrusion of the ship itself to reliably achieve the ship's positioning. When the limiting part has a planar structure, the corresponding position of the ship is also a planar structure.

[0033] The length of the flexible buffer pad 14 is greater than the length of the limiting part 8. This structure ensures that during the rolling motion of the ship, it can only contact the flexible buffer pad 14 and will not collide with the platform.

[0034] The multi-ship, multi-berth transshipment platform of this utility model is structurally designed with a platform body 1. The platform body 1 is a fixed structure, ensuring the stability of the transshipment platform itself and enabling reliable temporary berthing of ships. The platform body 1 includes a front section 2, a rear section 3, a left section 4, and a right section 5. To achieve multi-berth functionality, berths 6 are respectively located at the front section 2, rear section 3, left section 4, and right section 5. Each berth 6 includes a positioning post 7 and a limiting part 8. Thus, for small ships, one ship can berth at one berth, while for large ships, multiple berths can berth a single ship. When a ship is berthed, it can be perpendicular to or parallel to the berth, depending on the ship type. The limiting part 8 of each berth is used to limit the ship's position, and the positioning post 7 is inserted through both the ship's limiting part and the limiting part 8 of the berth 6, thus limiting the ship's position, reducing swaying, and improving the stability of the ship when berthed. For different vessels, a single positioning post can be used for positioning, or multiple positioning posts can be used to position a single vessel. The structure of this utility model effectively increases the number of berths, enables multi-berth docking, and improves docking and transfer efficiency. Furthermore, different ranges of the platform body can dock vessels of different models and sizes, achieving multi-ship docking.
