Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a double-hull cargo containment vessel that includes a primary hull and a secondary hull. The secondary hull has one or more interior cargo containment tanks and provides structural integrity to the vessel. The secondary hull also has a topside structural member to seal the cargo containment tank or tanks. The cargo can be a split load of materials or a homogenous load of all asphalt or all sulfur. The invention also includes a method of manufacturing the double-hull cargo containment vessel. The technical effects of the invention are improved safety and efficiency of cargo containment and protection against damage and leakage during transportation.

Problems solved by technology

If the hull is breached, cargo may leak from the vessel.

Abstract

A complete double-hull cargo containment vessel includes a primary hull and a secondary hull disposed within the primary hull. The primary hull includes a topside deck structural member. The secondary hull includes an interior cargo containment tank. The secondary hull includes a topside structural member configured to seal the cargo containment tank. The primary hull is configured to serve as a first boundary between an operating environment of the vessel and the cargo. The secondary hull is configured to serve as a second boundary between the operating environment of the vessel and the cargo. The topside deck member of the primary hull and the topside structural member of the secondary hull are configured to provide a double-hull on the topside of the cargo containment tank.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0001]Conventional cargo transport vessels include inland barges transport on inland waterways and ocean going on oceans and limited inland. Inland cargo transport vessels typically transport cargo relatively short distances over inland waterways. Ocean-going cargo transport vessels typically transport cargo relatively long distances over oceans.[0002]A conventional single-hull cargo transport vessel includes a single hull that provides a boundary between the operating environment of the vessel and the cargo. The hull includes a bottom side structural member, a port side structural member, a starboard side structural member, and a topside deck that are connected to form the exterior of the vessel. The hull also includes transverse and longitudinal bulkheads to provide strength, support, and stability to the hull. A cargo carrying volume is formed by the bottom side structural member, port side structural member, starboard side structural member, and topside de...
