A catamaran which loads barges through stern doors.

In the sea transportation of general cargo there are four major modes of unitised carriage of goods : 1) Container ships... 2) Roll-on/Roll-off(RO/RO) ;3) Pallet ships; 4) Barge Carriers...

Subject field(s)
  • Ports
DEF

A port at which cargo from outlying points is routinely collected for onward carriage.

OBS

For example, cargo moving from Philadelphia and Norfolk to Europe may be transported by barge or other means to Baltimore where it is loaded upon a Europe-bound vessel. The purpose of operating a load centre is to eliminate a call by a ship at a port which does not, of itself, generate sufficient cargo.

Key term(s)

Record 5 2011-06-27

In addition, the planned movement of some cargo had shifted from barges to trucks. This resulted in fewer barge loads per year than previously expected.

French

CONT

En outre, le transport d'une certaine partie du fret, qui devait se faire par barge, se fera désormais par camion, ce qui a réduit l'estimation du nombre annuel de chargements de barges.

Several barge carrier designs are available, including the lighter aboard ship (LASH) and the sea barges (Sea Bee). ... the Sea Bee ships float barges on to an elevator of 2000 tonnes capacity, using a roller system for stowage.

CONT

Sea barge heavy lift ships are designed to carry a variety of larger cargo--sea barges, lighterage, small boats and containers. A sea barge ship, or Sea Bee ship(not to be confused with construction battalion SEABEEs), loads and off-loads large cargo using a giant elevator on the aft end of the ship that lowers to water level.

OBS

Subject field(s)

  • Grain Growing
CONT

Many pneumatic systems are mounted on barges which can be towed to a seagoing vessel to discharge the cargo midstream. These barge-mounted pneumatic systems are called floating elevators. In the floating elevator, once the grain passes through the rotating airlock, it is weighed before being discharged into a barge or smaller ship.

OBS

Most floating elevators have four succion pipes with a total discharging capability of between 250 and 400 tonnes per hour. The main advantage of the floating elevator is its mobility. The main disadvantage is the time lost both in moving the elevator from ship to ship and moving the barges or smaller ships to the elevator. However, they are used extensively in Europe.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transports
  • Transport par eau
  • Culture des céréales
CONT

Beaucoup de systèmes pneumatiques sont montés sur des chalands que l'on peut remorquer jusqu'aux bâtiments de haute mer qui ne peuvent pas accoster. Ces dispositifs sont appelés élévateurs flottants. Le grain, après être passé dans le sas pneumatique, est pesé et transbordé dans un chaland ou un bateau plus petit.

OBS

La plupart des élévateurs flottants possèdent quatre conduits d'aspiration capables de décharger ensemble de 250 à 400 tonnes à l'heure. Leur grand avantage est la mobilité, leur principal inconvénient le temps de déplacement des chalands entre le bateau et le silo. Néanmoins, on les utilise beaucoup en Europe.
