- the configuration of the transshipment system can be changed to allow unloading on the other side, to port (to the left in the normal direction of travel), and according to a second CF2 coupling configuration of the connecting rods illustrated in the figure 8b.
- each of the two transverse beams 40, 41 can be provided with four motors, preferably electric (or hydraulic), configured to ensure the pivoting of the connecting rods B1 to B4, comprising a first motor Mot 1 , a second motor Mot 2, a third motor Mot 3 and a fourth motor Mot 4 distributed over the length of the first transverse beam 40 and integral with the latter and a fifth motor, a sixth motor, a seventh motor and an eighth motor distributed and integral with the second transverse beam 41.
- the second motor Mot2 carried by the first transverse beam 40 is coupled to the first connecting rod B1 and the fourth motor Mot 4 is coupled to the second connecting rod, and while the first engine and the third engine are unused.
- the sixth motor carried by the second transverse beam is coupled to the third connecting rod B3 and the eighth motor coupled to the fourth connecting rod B4, while the fifth motor and the seventh motor are unused.
- the connecting rods B1 to B4 are decoupled at their lower end from the transverse beams 40, 41 and at their upper end from the intermediate beams 50, 51 of the first mobile chassis then are recoupled to the latter in d other predetermined positions to obtain the second coupling configuration.
- the first motor Mot1 carried by the first transverse beam 40 is coupled to the first connecting rod B1 and the third motor Mot3 is coupled to the second connecting rod B2, and while the second engine and the fourth engine are unused.
- the fifth motor carried by the second transverse beam is coupled to the third connecting rod B3 and the seventh motor coupled to the fourth connecting rod B4, and while the fourth motor and the sixth motor are unused.
- first connecting rod B1, second connecting rod B2, third connecting rod B3 and fourth connecting rod B4 can be arranged in a removable manner, selectively:
- the present technical solutions can be applied in particular in maritime transport and aim to provide a container ship which makes it possible to load and unload containers in ports, and even those without transshipment equipment. , or even shallow water ports.
- the present disclosure also aims to propose, at least according to one embodiment, such a container ship, which generates very little CO2, while minimizing transport costs linked to fuel.
- Trolley forming a second mobile chassis (mounted sliding along the first and second transverse beams)
- Lifting cylinders integral with the second mobile chassis configured for lifting a container vertically suspended from the trolley.
- roller guide means in particular first and second
- Friction pad anchoring
