Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rescue vessel for a vessel in distress, its implementation method, and applications of such a vessel.
- a first solution envisaged is the towing of the ship to a location where it can be less harmful in the event of sinking.
- practice has shown that the situations generating these pollutions generally occur in very bad weather and that it was practically impossible to carry out such towing during the first few days during which the ship is still afloat.
- pollution control vessels These ships are intended to suck up the oil released by ships in distress, generally after they have sunk.
- the largest planned pollution control vessels are only capable of removing a few thousand tonnes of gross, and therefore, in the case of a major oil spill, very many rotations between the location of the incident and a port capable of accepting the materials recovered. It therefore takes considerable time and during this time the oil spill can continue to have its effects.
- pollution control vessels are therefore only a very partial solution. In addition, they can only work in relatively calm weather and not in stormy weather.
- the vast majority of pollution or oil spills was caused by a ship which continued to float for several days.
- the vast majority of the tanker fleet has a total length of less than 250 m, and even 200 m.
- the object of the invention is to suppress the vast majority of pollution or oil spills by preventing very quickly from distress of vessels in distress which may be the cause of pollution or significant oil spills, or of similar dangers, such as chemical and biological risks.
- the object of the invention is therefore to recover both the ship and its cargo by securing it, in a manner which then allows either repair or recovery of the cargo, or these two operations.
- the main object of the invention is to provide a lifeboat with a pool of very large, able to move quickly near the vessel in distress and place this vessel in distress in its basin whose dimensions are obviously much greater than that of the vessel in distress.
- Document US-5,215,024 already discloses a floating artificial island provided with basins which can be closed so that ships can be protected from heavy weather during their loading and unloading operations.
- the artificial island has no autonomous means of propulsion and cannot be ballasted, its function being to be as fixed as possible to fulfill its function. It is not able to move quickly near a vessel in distress and to place this vessel in distress in its basin.
- Document AU-482,040 also discloses a barge transport vessel whose elongated hull delimits a space intended to contain barges very close to each other and to the sides of the vessel.
- the internal space delimited by the hull does not constitute a basin, since it is entirely open at the rear.
- the invention relates to a lifeboat for ship, the hull of which delimits an elongated basin at least 150 m in length and 30 m in width, and which includes a ballasting device allowing a change of draft of at least 15 m.
- the basin has a length of at least 250 m and a width of at least 45 m and the change in draft can reach at least 20 m.
- the hull has two lateral hulls which can be ballasted and which surround the basin, and the stern has a practically sealed door which can close the rear of the basin.
- the door which can close the rear of the basin comprises two leaves which each have two parts articulated one on the other about a vertical axis intended to come to cooperate with the vertical axis of the other leaf in the closed position of the door.
- at least one of the ends of the two articulated parts which are distant from the vertical axis is fixed to the corresponding vertical side of the rear hull by a slide which can move horizontally along the internal side of the rear part of the hull. .
- the door intended to close the rear of the basin comprises a lifting panel which can be ballasted to pass from a floor position close to the bottom of the basin to a substantially vertical position of door closing the rear of the pool.
- the ship it is advantageous for the ship to include at least one winch for hauling a ship in distress entering the basin through the stern.
- At least one side of the basin has a height at least 15 m lower than that of at least two other sides.
- the two longitudinal sides port and starboard both preferably have a height at least 20 m lower than that of the two other sides delimited at the front and at the rear of the vessel, and their upper edge is practically rectilinear for most of its length. This edge is preferably provided with a reinforcement, advantageously having elasticity properties.
- the rescue vessel preferably comprises maneuvering means intended to exert a thrust in a direction transverse at least to the longitudinal axis of the vessel
- the rescue vessel includes devices for guiding and maintaining a vessel inside the basin, such as hydraulic lifters incorporated in the basin.
- the lifeboat has stabilizers which stabilize it in the presence of swell.
- the lifeboat has movable partitions, possibly articulated, playing the role of breakwater against basin storms.
- the invention also relates to a method for rescuing a ship in distress using a salvage vessel which can be ballasted and which has a tank of the aforementioned type; the method comprises a first phase of displacement of the rescue vessel towards the location of the vessel in distress, a second phase, executed in the vicinity of the vessel in distress, of ballasting of the rescue vessel so that at least an upper edge of the basin is at below the level of the keel of the vessel in distress, a third phase of introduction of the vessel in distress into the basin, and a fourth phase of placing the upper edge of the basin above sea level.
- the fourth phase of bringing the upper edge of the basin to a level above sea level is achieved by closing a door to the basin.
- the fourth phase of placing the upper edge of the basin above sea level comprises moving the ship in a vertical direction by ballasting, with evacuation of water outside the ship.
- the method comprises, before the first phase or at the start of it, ballasting of the ship at practically its lowest draft.
- the method further comprises, after the fourth phase, the displacement of the rescue vessel to a protected location favoring the execution on the vessel in distress of an operation chosen from among repair and unloading of the cargo.
- the ballasting of the ship at its lowest draft includes emptying the basin.
- the invention also relates to the application of a life-saving vessel of the aforementioned type to the movement of marine farm farming modules on the high seas.
- It also relates to the application of a rescue vessel of the aforementioned type to the formation of an artificial port for small boats in the event of a storm.
- FIG. 1 is a very schematic perspective view of a lifeboat in a first embodiment of the invention
- Figure 2 is a very schematic perspective view of a lifeboat in a second embodiment of the invention
- Figure 3 is a plan view of a variant of the first embodiment
- Figure 4 is a schematic section of the variant of Figure 3
- Figure 5 is a plan view of another variant of the first embodiment
- FIG. 6 is a schematic section of the variant of FIG. 5.
- FIG. 1 represents a lifeboat 10 having a basin 12 of very large dimensions, delimited between two lateral hulls 14, a front part 16, aft doors 18 and a bottom 20.
- the ship also has a gangway 22, shown at the bow, but which can occupy any other location on the ship.
- the ship advantageously comprises propulsion motors, maneuvering motors, in particular allowing transverse movements at the front and at the rear, stabilizers, breakwaters, etc. .
- It also comprises a winch at least making it possible to haul a ship to make it enter the basin 12 when the rear doors 18 are open.
- This winch can be mounted on a gantry, either fixed, preferably above the door, or mobile along the basin.
- the ship can also have two gantries, one of which is mobile.
- the rescue vessel also preferably includes devices for guiding and keeping a vessel in distress inside the basin, such as tappets, for example hydraulic, incorporated in the basin.
- the rescue vessel 10 which parks in the center of its surveillance zone, with its empty basin 12, can immediately head towards the vessel in distress at a high speed, because it has a small draft. water since its basin is empty and its hulls which can be ballasted can already be empty. Otherwise, they can be emptied at the start of the trip so that the draft is as small as possible in a way compatible with the state of the sea and the real possibilities of navigation.
- the rescue vessel 10 When approaching the vessel in distress, the rescue vessel 10 can begin to introduce water into the ballasts and sink into the sea. At the same time, the basin 12 begins to be filled, and the doors 18 are wide open. Thanks to its maneuverability, the vessel 10, after having launched a cable fixed to the front or the rear of the vessel in distress, or even without a cable when the vessel in distress is still maneuvering, is oriented so that its wide open aft section facing the ship in distress. This is then introduced into the basin 12, either by its own means, or with the means of propulsion of the ship 10 which can approach the ship in distress, either using the winch or using 'Any combination of these various means. When the ship has entered basin 12, doors 18 are closed.
- Compressed air flushes the ballast water so that the rescue vessel 10 rises above sea level. From this moment, any risk of pollution is deleted. Indeed, the vessel in distress is protected in the basin of the rescue vessel, and even if it is in a state of sinking or rupturing, the possible pollution is limited to basin 12. Depending on the particular case of the vessel in distress, the basin can be emptied or not, in part or in whole. At this time, the rescue vessel 10 can move to facilitate operations such as repairing the vessel or unloading its cargo, for example by approaching the shore.
- the rescue vessel 10 can reach the location of the vessel in distress in a very short time, at most a few hours, and as soon as the vessel is distressed in the basin, any risk of pollution is deleted. In addition, it makes it possible to preserve the ship in distress which is not lost and can more often than not be recovered.
- the lifeboat envisaged has a basin of approximately 95 m in width and 400 m in length, the rear doors of which have a span of at least 48 m and a height of 78 m.
- each leaf of the double rear door can be in the form of two parts articulated one on the other about a vertical axis intended to come to cooperate with the axis. vertical of the other leaf in the closed position of the door.
- the ends of the two articulated parts which are distant from the vertical axis are themselves fixed to the corresponding vertical side of the rear shell.
- These fixings can either be simply articulated (for example at the aft end on the side of the ship), or articulated on a slider which can move horizontally along the side of the aft hull.
- the two fasteners can also include slides.
- the aforementioned triangulation system can also be applied to other parts of the rescue vessel, for example to basin storm breakwaters, retaining vessel lifters, to gantry crane supports arranged between the sides, etc.
- the basin has a door such as 18 at each end. It is therefore essential that the two side shells are connected by several fixed gantries. The various necessary elements are housed in the two shells.
- At least one door for example a sliding door, having a height of the order of 40 m and a width of the order of 25 to 30 m, can be formed at 'fore of the basin, in a lateral hull or at the bow of the ship.
- Such doors are intended to allow the exit of one or more tugs which could have been used for the introduction of the salvaged vessel into the basin. As this exit takes place when the basin is filled, these doors are arranged upwards from the side shells.
- two doors are formed at the front of each side shell, so that tugs can exit the basin from the leeward side.
- Figure 2 shows another embodiment of a lifeboat. More specifically, the rescue vessel 24 of FIG. 2 comprises a hull 28 which delimits a basin 26, represented in parailissepilvesdique form, although this form, as in the first embodiment, is not essential.
- the bottom is not necessarily flat, and the pelvis may for example have a shape which tapers downwards, in section through a transverse vertical plane. Such an arrangement can be adopted for example for the acceleration of ballasting.
- the ship has a frame 30 which preferably carries, at its upper part, a control pass-through.
- the framework 30 is not a simple superstructure. In fact, it is much higher than that shown in FIG. 2 so that the ship can be almost completely submerged, only the upper parts of the frames 30 protruding above the sea. Of course, even in this position, the ship has buoyancy reserves making it unsinkable.
- the rescue vessel 24 When using the rescue vessel 24, the latter, which has emptied its basin 26, can quickly move to the location of the vessel in distress. When it approaches the vessel in distress, water is introduced into the ballasts so that the rescue vessel sinks into the water. When it is next to the vessel in distress, the upper edges 32 of the basin must be underwater to a depth at least equal to the draft of the vessel in distress increased by a safety margin which depends on the state of the sea.
- the vessel 24, which has means of transverse propulsion at its two ends, can come laterally to be placed under the vessel in distress, then compressed air is rapidly introduced into its ballasts to drive out the water . As soon as the upper edges 32 of the basin are raised above the level of the lower part of the keel of the ship in distress, the latter is trapped in the basin. The recovery of the lifeboat 24 takes place until the upper edges of the basin are above sea level, at a desired height taking into account the circumstances and in particular the weather. At this time, as in the first embodiment, the ship in distress can no longer create pollution
- the rescue vessel 24 of the second embodiment has the advantage of not requiring the operation of any moving part subject to the state of the sea throughout the rescue operation.
- the lifeboats according to the invention have very large dimensions. In order for them to avoid most pollution or oil spills, their basin 12 or 26 must be at least 150 m long, preferably at least 250 m and very advantageously at least 300 m. The width of the pool must be at least 30 m and preferably at least 50 m and even more. In the example indicated above, the lifeboat envisaged has a basin of approximately 95 m in width and 400 m in length, and the height of the hull reaches 78 m. The lifeboat then has considerable dimensions and mass, so that it is practically insensitive to storms and can be used whatever the state of the sea. In addition, by its dimensions and mass, it allows, by positioning appropriately, to create a local calm facilitating entry into the basin of the ship in distress, taking into account the swell and the current possibly present.
- the command bridge, with its navigation, security and other systems, and the engine room can each be duplicated.
- a machine room can be arranged in each of the side hulls.
- the parts likely to undergo the greatest efforts can be suitably reinforced for this purpose.
- the ballasting of the ship allows a change of draft of the order of 15 m and preferably at least 20 or 25 m.
- the variations in the draft can reach 30 m and even more.
- Figures 3 and 4 show, in plan and in longitudinal section, a lifeboat 10 which has a basin 12 of about 95 m in width and 400 m in length, and the hull height reaches 78 m.
- a vessel in distress 34 150 m in length is represented in the basin 12. It can be seen in these figures that the introduction of the vessel in distress into the basin, either by its own means, or by the means of propulsion and maneuvering the rescue vessel, either using a tug or any combination of these means, is easy, given the very large space available for maneuvering.
- Figures 5 and 6 show, in plan and in longitudinal section, a lifeboat 10 which also has a basin 12 of about 95 m in width and 400 m in length, and whose hull height reaches 78 m.
- a distressed ship 38 360 m long is shown in the basin 12.
- the rear part of the bottom of the basin consists of a lifting panel 40 constituting a floor which can itself be ballasted.
- This floor having for example a length of 80 m, can be lowered, as shown in Figure 6, to facilitate the entry of a distressed ship of very large size.
- the rear part of the bottom comprises a floor and a panel, as indicated at 40, which can be ballasted and can slide by pivoting to come close the rear, in place of the doors 18 which are then superfluous .
- the operation of this panel is then carried out essentially by ballasting.
- the rescue vessel can include other equipment adapted to its missions, for example a landing platform for helicopters, means for mooring ships in distress, means for fighting the fire of a ship in distress before, during or after entering the tank of the rescue vessel, means for treatment, in particular by filtration, of the basin water, means of storage of waste, in particular recovered by filtration or from the ship in distress, and / or means of naval repair, at least summary, of a ship having a damage.
- the lifeboat according to the invention has the following considerable advantages.
- the cargo can also be recovered and possibly pumped to a shore facility or to other ships.
- such a rescue vessel can be used as an artificial port to protect small boats.
- the rescue vessel is usually only used for the rescue of ships in distress, there are long periods during which it is on standby, quite offshore, taking into account its large dimensions and its draft. 'water. It can then be used as a support for renewable energy generating devices. For example, it can carry wind turbines or photovoltaic devices. The energy obtained can either be stored in electrical or chemical form, for example to be used by the ship for its missions, or transmitted ashore by a connection device at sea.
