ABSTRACT:
A floating device for transshipment of cargo from one ship to another comprises two pontoons (1,2) that are mutually connected and between which space is present for mooring one or more ships, such as barges, and that is adapted to moor alongside another ship, the pontoons supporting one or more structures on which devices are mounted for manipulating cargo, such as hoisting devices. This known device is useful only in quiet water, for instance within the shelter of a harbor. The invention improves the known device in such a manner that it also can be used in exposed places, so that it will be useful in bad weather and may remain in place for instance anchored to a mooring buoy or such. To this end, two pontoons (1,2) have such a small free board that it is swept over during bad weather conditions, the pontoons (1,2) being interconnected by a bow (3) extending higher than the upperdeck (5) of the pontoons.
