UNIT 1 SHIP
If the ship has her own cargo handling
equipment, she is called ‘geared ship’.
If she has no cargo handling facilities,
she is called as ‘ungeared ship’.
gear(n.) : a set of equipment or tools

GEARED SHIP
UNGEARED SHIP
Today many ships are ungeared because
they rely entirely on shoreside cargo
handling facilities.
Shipboard cargo handling equipment
consists of:
hatch covers,
cargo winches,
derricks,
deck cranes and
gantry cranes.
HATCH COVERS
The hatch covers are used to close
off the hatch openings and make
them watertight.
watertight(adj.) : having no openings to
allow the entry of water
water + tight
air + tight
Pontoon (lift-away) hatch covers are lifted away by
a crane on the ship or a crane on the quay.
The panels are stacked either on ship’s deck or on
the quay.
They are the simplest designed ship hatch covers.
Although the design is simple, the opening and
closing operation requires time and attention.
These hatch covers are widely used in container
ships.

stack (v.): to make things into a neat pile
Side rolling hatch covers
A traditional side-rolling cover consists of two panels per
hatch, each panel rolling sideways on a pair of transverse
ramps. Sliding the covers sideways is provided by the
pinion gear system or chain drive.

Deck cranes are placed between two
hatches and they can slew around 360° and
so they can load or discharge two holds.
The cranes may be used for lifting
cargo by using a hook or for grabbing
with a grab.

Some cargo handling equipment such
as slings, strops (snotters), chain
slings, cargo nets and heavy lifting
beams can be attached to the crane
by means of a U-shaped shackle.

Some container vessels are
equipped with gantry cranes for
handling containers.
The shipboard gantry crane moves
along the weather deck on rails in
order to service each cargo hold.
