PURPOSE:To dispense with embarkation and disembarkation on a gangplank and shorten the time of mooring, by catching an arriving passenger boat to guide it to a prescribed position and by using a monorail truck over a passenger cart on the boat to hang the cart up to disembark passengers at the same time. CONSTITUTION:A sensor 2 on the bow of a passenger boat 1 approaching an arrival region detects the positional relation between the boat and the tip 3 of each pier to stop the boat in a prescribed position and then catch it with arms 5 to move the boat to a mooring position B by moving guides 4 which travel on rails 7 on the piers. A cart 8 on which passengers to be disembarked are gathered is hung up by a monorail 10 waiting just over the boat, so that the cart is conveyed to a disembarkation yard E on which the passengers are put down. Passengers to be embarked ride on the cart in an embarkation yard C so that they are conveyed together with the cart onto the boat 1. Since a guide system for embarkation and disembarkation of boats and passenger, and a passenger cart monorail system are provided, the time of mooring is shortened. |
