ABSTRACT:
A cargo transport system is provided for a vessel in which a transfer mechanism separately transfers discrete cargo loads from a loading station on the deck of the vessel to a vertically extending conveyor system. A powered cargo delivery system sequentially forces cargo loads from the loading station onto the transfer mechanism. A sensing device detects the approach of a receptacle of the vertically extending conveyor system and actuates the transfer mechanism to transport one load from the loading station to the approaching receptacle. The sensing device also actuates the cargo delivery system to force the following cargo load onto the transfer mechanism after the elapse of a pre-set interval during which time the transfer mechanism transfers a load to a receptacle and returns to a load acceptance position. The cargo delivery means is preferably formed of sprockets turning an endless chain to which are fastened push bars. The push bars extend perpendicular to the plane in which the chain moves and push the cargo loads across a loading platform at the loading station and onto the transfer mechanism.
