TRANSPORTATION VESSEL FOR MINE AND RESOURCE FROM THE SEA

摘要

A transportation vessel for resource mined under sea having a fueling function is provided to remove extra operation of fuel supply vessel by arranging a transportation fuel storage tank in the transportation vessel. A transportation vessel for resource mined under sea having a fueling function includes a water ballast tank(1), a self-propelled fuel storage tank(2), a cargo(3), and a transportation fuel storage tank(4). The water ballast tank controls buoyancy by filling or emptying water between an external deck and a forepeak. The transportation fuel storage tank is arranged inside the conventional self-propelled fuel storage tank for performing buoyancy control for the water ballast tank by being filled with fuel such as petroleum or gas to be supplied to a sea station. The transportation vessel performs transportation function simultaneously with the buoyancy control as well.
