摘要: A vessel transfer system utilizes a larger, surface effect with hull and cargo deck, having pressurized volume of air under its hull. The larger deck is lowered relative to water in order receive smaller vessel. Lowering achieved by depressurizing the Movable propulsors on an cushion vehicle permit efficient operation way outer position, while minimizing envelope dimensions for stowage well providing clearance from bridges, docks, etc. inner position. In propellers operate more uniform inflow conditions, resulting improved performance lower noise levels. addition, craft can be arranged use full width stern ramp time saved during loading/unloading. will less likely ingest green high sea states.
