AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relies about making sure boats move safely during transfers between different locations without getting damaged or losing their contents when they hit another location on land after being moored for longer periods at high altitudes like Hawaii's coastline near New York City. This makes it easier than ever before transportation becomes more efficient because these larger ships have greater stability due to less exposure to ocean wave movements compared with smaller ones.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical solution described involves improving the efficiency and safety of carrying out important tasks like sea shipping and relying heavily loaded boats safely alongside other water bodies during international trade. It achieves this through efficient utilization of space within seawater facilities where there may exist numerous types of equipment needed for safe handling. Additionally, the proposed solution includes providing a larger docking portion near shore which helps prevent collisions from harmful impacts caused by waves hitting the port's opening.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]The preferred embodiment of this invention is an offshore, floating, all-weather, docking port where multiple large and small ships dock to load and unload cargo and refuel. The docking port can be extremely large depending on the nature and quantity of cargo containers or pallets sought to be deposited or temporarily stored on the port. The size of the port would have a greater capacity to hold more containers than any one ship so that containers can be loaded and unloaded simultaneously, while also performing the same functions with regards to smaller vessels. The invention is designed to allow the largest container-carrying vessel to dock within the interior docking area of the docking port where it can be loaded, unloaded, and refueled in the shortest amount of time. Independent flotation units provide stabilization to the docking port as a whole. The softwalled enclosure 120 is lowered underwater sufficiently to allow a freight ship to travel over its upper edge and move int

Abstract

This invention is a floating docking port that allows ships to dock within the port structure and be loaded, unloaded, and refueled, while converting the energy generated from wave motion into a usable source of power. The docking port isolates the vessels from waves and adverse sea currents, which allows for more effective cargo transfer. The docking port is extremely large and functions as a storage and distribution center for naval vessels. The loading and unloading of cargo and containers is accomplished by a container handling system that utilizes hoists, railed carriages, and cargo elevators to facilitate efficient loading and unloading of containers.
