47 results about "Freeboard" patented technology

In sailing and boating, a vessel's freeboard is the distance from the waterline to the upper deck level, measured at the lowest point of sheer where water can enter the boat or ship. In commercial vessels, the latter criterion measured relative to the ship's load line, regardless of deck arrangements, is the mandated and regulated meaning.

Oceanography engineering module integral hoisting method

The invention discloses a method used for realizing the integral lifting of marine engineering modules in the marine engineering field. After the module is constructed integrally, the invention makes use of floating cranes, barges and special crane beams to realize the integral lifting of modules on water by regulating the sea gauge of a main hull. Compared with the similar technology, the invention has the following advantages that the preparation of special crane beams can reduce the length of lifting cables so as to enhance the effective lifting height of floating cranes; and the adopting of the floating crane to lift the modules to the barges can avoid the use of a plurality of fittings used for conveying so as to reduce the cost. Simultaneously, the deep water is adopted to moor the main ship so as to ballast the main hull and reduce the height of the freeboard and then the high lifting capability of the floating crane is enhanced and the shipbuilding cost is reduced finally.

Road-towed heavy ferry

The road-towed heavy-load ferry may be produced in larger or smaller versions using the same design. Its basic embodiment can transport afloat loads exceeding 16 metric tons (17.6 tons) including its tow vehicle. The ferry essentially comprises three longitudinal hulls. Outboard hulls (12) pivot outward and inward to rest atop central hull (10). Thereby, the ferry is reduced to a width suitable for towing on public roads. Equipment for road towing includes telescoping towing tongue (32), and pneumatic-tired wheels (28) which remain intact afloat. Winch (40) enables kedging across shoal water or ground. The wheels extend below the deployed outboard hulls to assist in kedging by reducing friction, suction, and risk of hull damage. A water-ballast system counterbalances on-board loads and otherwise improves stability in adverse winds, waves, and currents. Hinged gunwales provide additional freeboard.

Rescue Boat

A multi-purpose boat has a two angle V hull with a rounded fore-aft profile and slightly convex deck. The hull has steeply angled edge portions and shallowly angled center portions. The edge portions are sufficiently sloped away from vertical to allow the boat to be lifted and not pushed by waves. The rounded fore-aft profile allows the boat to slide over waves, especially during a beach entry. The boat includes a keel having a horizontal base and separating downward from the hull at the fore and aft of the boat to resist yawing. The dry weight of the boat is about 25 pounds with a foam core with a resin coating and the keel is preferably hollow and includes ports to allow water to enter the keel to add about 25 pounds after entering the water. Approximately four inches of freeboard is provided separating riders from cold water and predators.
