ABSTRACT:
A cargo ship construction comprises a ship which has a hull structure with at least one cargo storage space opening to at least one side both above and below the water line. A cargo storage container or warehouse of substantially the size of the cargo storage space of the vessel is insertable through the opening into the space. The container is associated with a flotation arrangement such as a separate propelled vehicle which may operate on either land or water and which is provided with a lifting section for lifting cargo storage container into the section. The device may travel on land and then float out to sea and load the cargo onto the vessel either by floating it in when the vessel is ballasted so that the opening is below the water line or the device may raise the cargo above the water level and permit it to slide into the receiving space of the vessel. The cargo storage container itself advantageously includes a sea water drive for propelling it through the sea water and for floating it upwardly and downwardly in the sea water at a selected ballasting. The cargo storage container itself may be propelled on land and sea and, for this purpose, it advantageously includes extendable and retractable legs containing wheel travelling elements or sea propelling elements.
