DEVELOPMENT OF A CONCEPTIONAL DESIGN FOR A CONTAINER DISCHARGE FACILITY

The report describes the engineering studies performed and the development of a conceptional design for a Container Discharge Facility having as its primary mission the discharge of nonselfsustaining containerships to lighterage for Logistics-Over-The-Shore (LOTS) type operations worldwide. Its secondary mission is the discharge of breakbulk and outsized cargo from general cargo and special purpose ships, including Roll On/Roll Off (RO/RO) ships, while a tertiary mission is to handle and transport instant port support equipment to an operating site. The scope of the report was restricted to the phase of offloading the cargo, primarily containers, from ships offshore onto lighterage including displacement hulls, rigid sidewall air lubricated barges, amphibians, air cushion vehicles and helicopters.
