FLOATING DOCK AND METHOD FOR SCRAPPING SHIPS

摘要

Provided are a floating dock and a method for scrapping ships with which costs in scrapping operations and burdens on the environment can be reduced. The disclosed floating dock includes: a connection block (3) that is connected to a cut section (11a) formed by cutting off the bow section (11) of a ship; a stowing section (4) formed by removing bulkheads (13a) arranged in the hold section (13); a first open section (5) formed by removing a portion of the upper deck (14), which is arranged above the stowing section (4), closer to the bow section (11); a second open section (6) formed by removing a portion of the upper deck (14), which is arranged above the stowing section (4), closer to the stern section (12); and a planar section (7) formed above the upper deck (14) between the first open section (5) and the second open section (6). The connection block (3) has an open/close gate (31) that allows or inhibits the intrusion of water into the stowing section (4).
