Description

Heavy lift barge with expandable deck This specification relates to a heavy cargo barge capable of deck expansion, and more specifically, to a heavy cargo barge capable of deck expansion that can improve safety and productivity and secure extra loading space by using expansion panels to expand the area of the barge or connecting it to another barge when workspace or loading space is insufficient. Generally, a barge refers to a small vessel used to transport cargo on rivers, canals, and the sea, or a ship used to transport large quantities of solid materials or construction equipment by sea. While some are equipped with additional propellers and power units, most barges lack their own power and are designed to move with the assistance of tugboats. Barges are classified into barges and lighters depending on their purpose. A barge is a vessel that transports cargo between two points, while a lighter is a vessel that floats alongside a main vessel to load and unload cargo when a large vessel cannot dock within a port. Barge hulls are wide and flat-bottomed, and structures include Western, Korean, hybrid, and box types; generally, small ones are mainly constructed of wood, while large ones are constructed of steel. In addition to transporting cargo, these barges are often equipped with various amenities and used as work vessels for offshore operations; however, due to limited space depending on the task, workers must endure discomfort, leading to safety accidents. In addition, depending on the type and purpose of the barge, a submersible barge may be required. Generally, however, the width of such barges limits the loading of heavy, large semi-submersible structures and other objects that fit snugly within the width of the barge. Consequently, problems arise where heavy loads are placed on the semi-submersible structures and barges, sea fastenings become larger, and they become susceptible to wave slamming. FIGS. 1 and 2 are drawings illustrating a heavy cargo barge capable of deck expansion according to one embodiment of the present specification. FIGS. 3 to 5 are drawings illustrating an extension panel according to one embodiment of the present specification. Embodiments of the present specification will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, detailed descriptions of known functions or configurations that may obscure the essence of the embodiments in the following description and the attached drawings are omitted. Additionally, throughout the specification, the term 'comprising' a component means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components. Additionally, terms such as "first," "second," etc., may be used to describe various components, but said components should not be limited by said terms. These terms may be used for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the rights of this specification, the first component may be named the second component, and similarly, the second component may be named the first component. The terms used herein are merely for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the specification. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, terms such as “comprising” or “comprising” are intended to specify the existence of the described features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Unless specifically defined otherwise, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this specification pertains. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this specification. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a heavy cargo barge capable of deck expansion according to one embodiment of the present specification. FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a heavy cargo barge capable of deck expansion with an expansion panel deployed according to one embodiment of the present specification. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a heavy cargo barge capable of deck expansion according to the present embodiment can be implemented by including at least one buoy (10), a rectangular deck sub-platform (20) positioned and supported on at least one buoy (10), and a plurality of panel hinges (hinge, 31) on the front, rear, and sides of the deck sub-platform (20), and a plurality of expansion panels (32) connected to and rotated by the plurality of panel h
