ABSTRACT:
A cargo transport system is provided for a vessel in which a transfer mechanism on the deck of the vessel separately transfers discrete cargo loads from a lateral conveyor on the deck of the vessel to a vertically extending conveyor system. The vertically extending conveyor system is equipped with a multiplicity of receptacles which sequentially approach the transfer mechanism. A sensing device detects the approach of a receptacle and actuates the transfer mechanism to transport one load between the lateral conveyor and the approaching receptacle. A load checking main prevents additional loads from approaching the transfer mechanism when the transfer mechanism is actuated. Releasable fastening devices at least partially entrap portions of the tower to accommodate movement of the vessel relative to the tower. Expandable and retractable conveyor systems on the deck of the vessel are interconnected to the lateral conveyor to likewise accommodate movement of the vessel relative to the tower.
