Method of temporary stabilising ships during loading and unloading

摘要

Stabilising of the freighter is achieved with the aid of an on-board crane and a float which lies next to the ship and on which ballast is placed. Part of the load (2) of the ship is used as ballast e.g. load (2) which is placed on top of another load in the ship's hold (5,6) The ballast load is only transferred to the float at the time the float is already partly submerged so that the upward thrust is already acting.
