ABSTRACT:
In order to laterally support lighters provided with rails on their bottoms, the loading deck of a lighter-transport ship is provided with channels situated beneath and opening onto the upper surface of the deck which are adapted to receive the rails of the lighters, and cover plates associated with the channels for selectively closing the same. The cover plates are removed from the channels to open the same when lighters are supported on the deck so that the rails are received within the channel. The cover plates are shifted over the channels to close the same when wheeled loading vehicles are moved on the deck.
