ABSTRACT:
A transshipper for floating on water comprises a pair of elongate buoyant vessels arranged in parallel spaced relationship for receiving a feeder barge to be unloaded between the vessels. The platform is supported by the buoyant vessels in a raised position above the buoyant vessels. A transfer conveyor supported by the buoyant vessels extends transversely of the buoyant vessels in a raised position above the buoyant vessels. A first lifting conveyor is suspended from the platform and is movable longitudinally of the transfer conveyor for raising material to be unloaded from a feeder barge located between the buoyant vessels and for depositing the material onto the transfer conveyor. A second lifting conveyor is provided for receiving material from the transfer conveyor and an unloading boom is provided for receiving the material from the second lifting conveyor and for delivering the material to a receiving vessel located alongside one of the buoyant vessels.
