Ship name: Total of 4 CFTs | Ship name: GREENDASH Total 3 vessels |
| Artie couple |
In the past, barge transportation used to connect boats and barges with wire ropes, etc., but by introducing the Arty couple (Automatic Connection Device) method, the pusher boat and barge are directly connected (integrated) to improve safety. In addition, it is possible to remotely control the connection and separation of the boat and the barge from the steering room without adjusting the draft. |
|---|---|
| Near-infrared camera |
Near-infrared cameras for forward viewing are installed on both sides of the bow of the container barge, and confirmation cameras are installed on both sides of the stern, so that monitors can be viewed from the steering room. |
| Side thruster |
By installing side thrusters at the bow of the barge, the left and right propulsion forces are generated, increasing speed and safety when leaving and landing. |
| Steering room |
Since the steering room is located at a height of 11 meters from the surface of the water, it is easy to secure visibility even when three containers are loaded on a barge, and 84 40ft containers can be loaded. |
