A transhipping hoist and guide apparatus for transferring cargo between two ships comprises a hoisting beam 2, provided with cargo grippers (9, Figure 2), suspended from flexible hoisting elements 10 arranged on one of the ships and a number of contact surfaces 4 for positioning the grippers located on one of the ships. Preferably the hoisting beam, which may be a spreader, has a side shaped complementary to the hoisted cargo, e.g. wedge shaped, and may be suspended by flexible elements from a second beam which may also be a spreader (12, Figure 4). Preferably, the contact surfaces are provided with an additional guide device e.g. a funnel (19, Figure 5) or rails (20, Figure 6). Preferably the guide device is displaceable relative to the cargo. The cargo is preferably pipes from a supply to a pipe laying vessel. |
