The present invention relates to a container transportation ship. More particularly, the present invention relates to a container transportation ship for transporting containers, characterized in that a loading space in which at least one container is loaded and a loading/unloading space configured such that an external transfer means can directly enter/exit in order to load and unload the container, are delimited on the deck of the container transportation ship; and a crane is provided to move the container in the longitudinal direction of the container transportation ship, in the transverse direction thereof, and in the upward/downward direction thereof for the purpose of loading the container on the external transfer means that has entered the loading/unloading space or unloading the container from the external transfer means.

A lashing system is usable on cargo ships that are transporting shipping containers, optionally as a supplement to standard lashing bridges provided on cargo ships. The lashing system includes a support that can interface with the pre-existing interlocking system provided on the shipping containers. The support can be lifted and placed on a stack of shipping containers using the same cranes used for loading and unloading shipping containers. The lashing system includes lashings that are attached to the support and are releasably connectable to another shipping container or to a structure of the cargo ship. The tension in the lashings is preferably monitored during the trips of the cargo ships.

A rotatable flush mounted fishing rod holder including a rod holding tube with an annular flange extending radially from an upper end thereof, and an annular cover member to attach relative to a surface over the annular flange to hold the rod holding tube to the surface but allow rotation of the rod holding tube relative thereto.

An improved shock isolating mounting comprising at least three substantially U-shaped leaf spring members, each leaf spring member comprising at least two leafs arranged to define a space therebetween. In one arrangement, the respective at least three substantially U-shaped leaf spring members are arranged in an array having a substantially equal angular spacing between adjacent spring members.

A deck hook having the capability 1) to accept loading force in wide space angles of multiple directions, and 2) to distribute loading forces over increased deck/socket surface areas thereby increasing durability of the deck elements built from non-steel materials.

The present invention describes mixed cargoes barges or carriers (100,100a,200,300,400,500) for carrying bulk cargoes (BC), shipping containers (132, 134), IMO tanks, general cargoes and fluid cargoes. The bulk cargoes and shipping containers can be transported on load-plates (110,110L,110R,110a-110f,210,210L,210R) that are configured pivotably on a deck (108, 208) or in a hull (103), whilst fluid cargoes are stored in storage tanks (130,230) located below the deck or in the hull (103). The bulk cargoes can be discharged by tilting the load-plate or loading the bulk cargoes on tilted load-plates, so that the bulk cargoes fall onto an adjacent conveyor (150,250). When a load plate or a segmented load-plate is emptied of bulk cargoes, the empty load space can then be utilized to carry shipping containers, IMO tanks or general cargoes. Various ways of folding and stowing away the segmented load-plates to free up loading spaces for mixed cargoes.
