Cargo transshipment vessel: mobile logistics hub on water
In the context of growing intensity of global cargo transportation and lack of mooring capacity transhipment vessels andplay a key role in supply chains. Generally, cargo transshipment vessel is a specialized watercraft that performs operations for receiving, temporary storage and transfer of cargo from one ship to another or from shore to ship. Such vessels ensure continuity of cargo flows in sea and river ports, especially in cases where the berths are overloaded, there is no infrastructure, or operational reloading is required. They help avoid downtime, save fuel, minimize costs and speed up the movement of goods.
Tasks and functionality
Basic tasks of a cargo transshipment vessel:
acceptance of bulk, liquid and container cargo;
temporary storage and sorting;
side-to-side transshipment between vessels;
supplying cargo to or from shore;
participation in logistics operations at the roadstead.
Such a vessel can act as an intermediate logistics point - “intercepting” large shipments of cargo and distributing them to smaller ships, or vice versa, forming one large voyage from several small deliveries.The vessel contains the following installations and special equipment:
heavy-duty onboard cranes;
conveyors and booms;
grippers and grabs for bulk materials;
fastening systems for containers;
cargo holds, tanks and deck areas;
positioning and loading systems in bad weather conditions.
