Beskrivelse Description

System for å styre og låse en båt til ønsket posisjon ved anløp av en brygge. System for steering and locking a boat to the desired position when approaching a wharf.

Når en båt skal inn til kai for lasting/lossing er det viktig å legge til ved riktig posisjon i forhold til kraner, lastelemmer, gangveier etc. Avhengig av strøm, vind og fartøyets manøvreringsdyktighet kan dette være krevende og ta relativt lang tid. When a boat is to dock for loading/unloading, it is important to dock at the correct position in relation to cranes, tailgates, walkways etc. Depending on the current, wind and the vessel's maneuverability, this can be demanding and take a relatively long time.

Spesielt for ferger, som legger til kai ofte, er det viktig å finne nøyaktig posisjon så raskt som mulig, før lastelemmer eller gangveier kan legges ut over baug eller skipsside. Før passasjerer kan benytte en gangvei må ferga holdes fast i ønsket posisjon. En gangvei som er i bevegelse, kan skape farlige situasjoner for passasjerer og mannskap. Especially for ferries, which dock frequently, it is important to find the exact position as quickly as possible, before loading limbs or walkways can be laid out over the bow or side of the ship. Before passengers can use a walkway, the ferry must be held firmly in the desired position. A moving walkway can create dangerous situations for passengers and crew.

Mindre passasjerferger med gangvei fast hengslet i baug, legger ofte bare baugen mot en tverrgående bryggekant med fenderlist, og holder fartøyet på plass i tilnærmet 90 graders vinkel mot denne ved bruk av motorkraft og ror. Avhengig av vind og strøm kan det være en krevende oppgave for båtfører å få lagt baugen inntil fenderlisten på ønsket stedt og så holde den der mens passasjerene bruker gangveien. Her er det kun friksjonen mellom baugen og bryggefenderen som hindrer fergas front i å gli sideveis, og om vinkelen mellom fergas senterlinje og bryggefenderen avviker for mye fra 90 grader, kan det skje ulykker. Et annet problem med denne mye brukte landings-metoden er at disse kostbare gummifenderne må byttes relativt ofte på grunn av mange harde og skjeve støt. Smaller passenger ferries with a gangway firmly hinged in the bow often simply place the bow against a transverse pier edge with a fender strip, and hold the vessel in place at an approximately 90 degree angle to this using engine power and rudder. Depending on the wind and current, it can be a demanding task for the boat driver to get the bow close to the fender strip in the desired location and then hold it there while the passengers use the walkway. Here, it is only the friction between the bow and the pier fender that prevents the ferry's front from sliding sideways, and if the angle between the ferry's centerline and the pier fender deviates too much from 90 degrees, accidents can happen. Another problem with this widely used landing method is that these expensive rubber fenders have to be replaced relatively often due to many hard and crooked impacts.

Oppfinnelsen gjelder et system med horisontalt roterende hjul eller ruller som er montert på et fartøy for å motta den første fysiske kontakten med brygga ved ankomst, og deretter gi veiledende støtte under videre styring inn mot ønsket stopp-posisjon. The invention relates to a system with horizontally rotating wheels or rollers that are mounted on a vessel to receive the first physical contact with the pier on arrival, and then provide guiding support during further steering towards the desired stop position.

Prinsippskisse 1 viser ferge med hjul montert i baugen og en V-formet brygge. Når hjulet ved ankomst får kontakt med et punkt innenfor V-feltet, vil baugen automatisk bli ført inn mot senterpunktet, hvor den kan holdes fast med moderat bruk av motorkraft og ror. Principle sketch 1 shows a ferry with wheels mounted in the bow and a V-shaped pier. When the wheel on arrival makes contact with a point within the V field, the bow will automatically be brought in towards the center point, where it can be held firmly with moderate use of engine power and rudder.

Fordeler med denne løsningen er at det blir lettere for båtfører å finne frem til nøyaktig samme landingspunkt hver gang og siden baugen der blir låst for sideveis bevegelser, blir bruk av gangvei tryggere. Advantages of this solution are that it becomes easier for the boat driver to find exactly the same landing point each time and since the bow there is locked for lateral movements, using the walkway becomes safer.

Ferger med styrehjul montert i fartøyets senterlinje og har gangvei kun over baugen, behøver relativt liten bryggeplass for lasting/lossing. Det behøves ingen brygge langs skutesiden, men en pel, som vist på tegningens del A, kan fungere som et ekstra støttepunkt mot skutesiden og gjøre det mindre arbeidskrevende for båtfører og holde fartøyet stabilt i 90 graders vinkel mot bryggen. Ferries with steering wheels mounted in the centerline of the vessel and have a walkway only over the bow, require relatively little berthing space for loading/unloading. There is no need for a jetty along the port side, but a pile, as shown in part A of the drawing, can act as an additional support point towards the port side and make it less labor-intensive for the boatman and keep the vessel stable at a 90 degree angle to the jetty.

Tegningens del B viser ferge som også har styrehjul montert i fartøyets sider. Dette er til hjelp når en ferge skal legge til ved forskjellige typer brygger, hvor noen har ombordstigning over baugen og noen over skutesiden. Part B of the drawing shows a ferry that also has steering wheels mounted on the sides of the vessel. This is helpful when a ferry has to dock at different types of piers, where some have boarding over the bow and some over the port side.

Tegningens del C viser en ferge med både nese- og sidehjul som legger til langsetter en brygge hvor gangveiene går over skutesiden. Her har bryggen utdypninger i siden, som passer fargas sidehjul og markerer stedet hvor ferga skal legge til. I stedet for slike utdypninger i bryggesiden kan man bruke et element som stikker ut fra bryggekanten og fungerer som stopp-punkt, eller en kombinasjon av begge deler. Her kan også ferga holdes i ro mot brygga med bruk av kun motorkraft og ror, eller en fysisk låseanordning. Part C of the drawing shows a ferry with both nose and side wheels which adds a jetty on the long side where the walkways go over the ship's side. Here, the wharf has recesses in the side, which fit the ferry's side wheels and mark the place where the ferry will dock. Instead of such deepenings in the pier side, you can use an element that protrudes from the pier edge and acts as a stop point, or a combination of both. Here, the ferry can also be kept steady against the jetty using only engine power and rudder, or a physical locking device.

Fartøyet i del C har styrehjul i begge ender og på begge sider for å kunne betjene forskjellige typer brygger på en ferge-rute. The vessel in part C has steering wheels at both ends and on both sides to be able to serve different types of piers on a ferry route.
