CA 1040013

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A vessel adapted to receive, or discharge, heavy pieces of cargo moved in a horizontal plane, from or to an embankment, suffers a sudden change in displacement, when the weight of said cargo is transferred from the embankment to the ship, or vice versa. This sudden transfer of weight alters the relative position be- tween the deck and the embankment, and makes a smooth handling of the cargo impossible. The present invention provides means for temporarily increasing the buoyancy of the vessel, at least on the portion thereof facing the embankment, to a value at least corresponding to the cargo weight to be handled, as well as fur- ther means for retaining the deck level with the embankment, irr- espective of the increased buoyancy. The buoyancy increasing means may be trimming tanks formed integral with the vessel and arranged to always remain below water level, or may be a separate pontoon remaining at the embankment.
