Condock
Condock refers to a shipping company and its fleet of four dock ships belonging to the Hamburg shipping company W. Bauer. Due to their design, the ships are able to carry oversized (especially oversized) and floating cargo . "Condock" is a combination of the words " container " and " dock ". Condock was bought by Harren & Partner in 2007/2008 .
description
The hold of the ships can be closed at the top with pontoon hatch covers. However, there is also the option of stacking the pontoon hatch covers on the hatch and thus also transporting excessively high loads. Since the ships have their bridge in front, this is also possible without restricting the view.
The ships, which were built almost identically in Germany between 1979 and 1984, can carry a wide variety of cargo.
Conventional cargo
As with conventional general cargo or multi-purpose ships , conventional cargo of all kinds can be loaded in the hold . The height of the load is practically not limited by the possibility of driving with an open cargo space. This makes it possible to transport oversized loads (e.g. project loads, systems, but also complete cranes).
Rolling cargo
All types of rolling cargo can be loaded via a rear ramp . As with conventional cargo, it is also possible here to load and transport particularly high loads.
Container
Containers can be loaded both in the room and on deck. If conventional or rolling cargo is transported in the space that does not exceed the height of the hold (i.e. the hold can be closed with the hatch covers), containers can also be transported on deck.
Floating cargo
The specialty of Condock ships is the transport of floating cargo. By flooding the corresponding tanks, the ships can be lowered so that floating cargo can be swum into the hold via the open tailgate. In this way, entire ships can be transported that are not wider than the hold of the respective condock ship. Since the Condock ships can also sail with the tailgate open, it is possible to transport ships that are slightly longer than the hold.
