CA 2582290

A vessel includes an heavy loaded catamaran, one or several movable buoyant roll-on/roll-off platform(s) (3); a moving mean is provided for draft variation in heavy deep seas so that the platform(s) (3) may be raised or lowered between the hulls thereby selectively changing the flotation of the vessel. In the upper position, the vessel is a deep-sea catamaran, in an intermediate position the platform(s) is buoyant and a canal is formed between platform bottom and catamaran keels, in the lower position, platform bottom and catamaran are even-keel converting the catamaran in a shallow water craft, in the lowest position, the catamaran is raised above water for docking.

Vaisseau comprenant un catamaran à forte charge, une ou plusieurs plates-formes flottantes et mobiles de roulier; moyens de déplacement assurant la variation du tyran d'eau dans la haute mer de manière que la ou les plates-forme(s) puisse(nt) être élevée(s) ou abaissée(s) entre les coques, modifiant sélectivement la flottaison du vaisseau. En position supérieure, le vaisseau est un catamaran hauturier, en position intermédiaire, la ou les plates-forme(s) est(sont) flottante(s) et un canal est formé entre le fond de la plate-forme et les quilles du catamaran, en position inférieure, le fond de la plate-forme et le catamaran présentent une assiette nulle, le catamaran devient alors un vaisseau pour eaux peu profondes, dans la position la plus basse, le catamaran est élevé au-dessus de l'eau en vue de son carénage.
