CONNECTING STRUCTURE FOR OCEAN-GOING PUSH-BARGE

摘要

A connecting structure for ocean-going push-barge combination, wherein a plurality of connecting pins are provided at the bow and both sides of a pusher boat in a manner slidable back and forth, and corresponding numbers of holes or ports for receiving and holding connecting pins therein are provided in the wall of a longitudinally, deeply notched stern of a barge where the bow and the sides of the pusher boat enter, the pusher boat and the barge being rigidly but separably joined together by insertion into the receiving and holding ports of the connecting pins depending on the relative drafts of the pusher boat and the barge to form a single seagoing unit.
