Last update date September 19, 2023

Background of Container Barge and pusherboat

Process
H17 February	Conducted a trial of container transport between Keihin Ports by barges We conducted transportation experiments using three types of methods (Derrick barge, deck barge, pusher barge, pusher barge). Derrick barge Deck barge Pusher bage As a result of the experiment, the delic barge method was effective for transporting actual containers, the deck barge method was effective for mass transport, and the pusher barge method was effective for speedy transportation. Based on the results of these experiments, we adopted a transport method using a container barge and pusher boat that incorporates the effectiveness of each transport method.
H18 March	Newbuilding Green Shipbuilding A new vessel GREENDASH (pusherboat) and container barge (CFT) were completed with the assistance of the Green Logistics Partnership experimental project. 84 40ft containers can be loaded
H18 April	Expansion of regular routes for transportation between Keihin Ports by introducing new vessels Started three flights a week between Yokohama Port Honmoku Pier and Aomi Wharf, Tokyo Port
H19 February	Reinforcement of transportation systems With two boats and two barges
H19 April	Start of transportation between Yokohama Port and Chiba Port (Ichihara IMT) Start of transportation with a private berth in Ichihara (about 1-2 flights a week)
H19 July	Reinforcement of transportation systems With two boats and three barges
H19 December	Started transportation to and from Oi Wharf, Tokyo Port Commencement to the main wharf of Tokyo Port (2 flights a week and 11 flights a week between Keihin Port)
H20 years February	Reinforcement of transportation systems Three Boats and four barges

Container barge	Pusher boat
Container barge (make)	Pusher boat
Ship name: Four CFTs Loading tonnage 2,100t Total length 65.0m Total width 20.0m 4.0m deep Draft 2.5m Container loading capacity 84 bottles (40ft, 3 tiers)	Ship name: GREENDASH Total 3 vessels Tonnage 49.0t Total length 20.3m Total width 7.0m 2.5m deep Draft 2.0m Horse power: 1,000 horsepower x 2 units Pressing speed 8.0 to 9.0 knots

Various functions
Artie couple	Arty couple In the past, barge transportation used to connect the boat and the barge using wire ropes, etc., but by introducing the Arty Couple (automatic connection device) method, the pusher boat and the barge are directly connected (integrated) to improve safety. In addition, it is possible to remote control the connection and disconnection of the boat and barge remotely from the steering room without adjusting the draft.
Near-infrared camera	Near-infrared camera Near-infrared cameras are installed on both sides of the bow of the container barge and a confirmation camera on both sides of the stern, enabling monitoring from the steering wheel.
Side thruster	Side thruster By installing side thrusters on the bow of the barge, the left and right propulsion is generated, improving speed and safety when leaving and landing.
Steering room	Steering room Since the steering wheelhouse is located 11 meters above the water surface, it is easy to secure visibility when three containers are loaded on the barge, and 84 40ft containers can be loaded.
