<p>A device for protecting a ship provided with a guard rail having a first horizontal bar and a second horizontal bar positioned below the first horizontal bar. The device comprises a first panel and a second panel. The first panel has a first side edge and a slit, which is positioned perpendicular to the first side edge and has at or near its distal end nearest to the first side edge a widened portion. The first panel is further provided with a provision for movably attaching the first panel at the first side edge to the first horizontal bar. The second panel has a second side edge and parallel to the second side edge a third side edge, and is provided at the third side edge with an outwardly directed protrusion, which protrusion has a portion at or near its distal end which is widened relatively to the portion of the protrusion adjacent to the third side edge. The second panel is further provided with a provision for movably attaching the second panel at the second side edge to the second horizontal bar. When the panels are movably attached to the first and second horizontal bars, respectively at the side of the guard rail outside of the ship, the protrusion can be inserted into the widened portion of the slit upon which the protrusion can slide through the remainder of the slit away from the first side edge, whereby the protrusion is prevented from being extracted from the slit as a result of the blocking action of the widened portion of the protrusion. Also claimed: a method of protecting a ship.</p> |
