We were in charge of the handling of its merchandise for its purchases FOB or Cif sales, towards or from the Colombian ports, for loads as much containerizadas, as loose, under anyone of the following services and ways of transport:
-
Service Containers (FCL-FCL) in regular lines: we handled its merchandise in the different passages, products in the different types from containers, Stándar, High cube, flat rack, open top, cooled, depending the necessities on the load.
-
Service LCL: Although the loads handled under modality LCL are few or loose load, sometimes is made necessary to transport merchandise you consolidate, for it is important to know, the type of product, packing, weight, volume, passage and of this form to enter some countries or served geographic zones: Distant East, the USA, Mexico, America Center, Spain, Germany, the South America.
-
Service of Charterings: For loads susceptible to charter we worked with shipbuilders and brokers very specialized, that allows us depending on I deal and the type of product, to reach very competitive levels to the necessities of the market. Special-purpose charges like rolled load, heavy and sobredetermine the proportions pieces, bulks, etc.
It is important to consider that our multimodal service allows us to serve integral to him door door, contáctenos to have the opportunity to serve to them.
BASIC PARTS OF A BOAT AND TYPES OF SHIPS
Looking for to be a consultation tool and where we pruned to lend some type on watch, next they will find information related to the marine transport and in individual with what talvez often we heard, but that we are not familiarized, as they are the basic parts of a MN and some of the different types from ships.
Basic parts of a boat:
The basic parts of a boat are: 1. Prow. 2. Bulb of Prow. 3. Anchor. 4 Flank of Port. 5. Helix. 6. Stern. 7. Chimney. 8. Superstructure. 9. Cover.
-
PROW: it is the front part of the boat, the one that breaks the water during navigation.
-
BALBO OF PROW: it is used to diminish the height of wave that takes place when sailing at certain speed.
-
ANCHOR: it is used to search the boat; it is sent with a chain soon to be able to raise it.
-
Flank of PORT: it is the zone that, seen the boat from the stern, is the left, the zone of Estibor is the right part. The reason that in the boats names different from right and left occur him both to sides is for avoiding confusions, since the crew move forwards and backwards, and the crew member who watch backwards will speak of the right talking about to the left, and vice versa. When denominating itself the sides of the form before described, there is no possible confusion
-
HELIX: it is the part of the boat that gives propulsion him, moved generally by a combustion motor, due to the forms of his shovels creates to the necessary push. Behind her one is located the rudder that gives government him to the ship and that takes advantage of the current generated by the helix for a greater efficiency.
-
STERN: it is the later zone of the boat, is located the mirror here.
-
CHIMNEY: exit of exhaust gases produced by the combustion of the motors.
-
SUPERSTRUCTURE: place where they are located the conning bridge and the accomodations.
-
COVER: each one of the surfaces (grounds), affirmed on the beams, that they divide to the boat horizontally.
TYPES OF SHIPS:
in 1929 the Conference was made the International for the Security of the Human Life in the Sea, there a series of definitions was established to name the different types from boats that sailed in the seas of the world, being able to classify by the system used in their construction, by their structural elements, their tonnage and by the type on watch that make.
The tipología of the ships very is varied, all those destining to activities that are not military, like the boats that develop the harbor services, the services for navigation, the cargo vessels, those of passengers, those of investigation and those of fishing, constitute the calls “merchant boats”.
As well, each one of these types of merchant boats is divided in agreement with its characteristics. Between the types of boats but known and that develops activities of load transport, as well as those harbor services between which are the barges, the tugboats, the dredges, the cisterns and the pontoons, we have
-
Ship portacontenedores
-
Ship Tank (oil, quimiquero, gasero)
-
Ship transports solid loads in bulk (bulk Carrier)
-
Ship overhead
-
Rolled expensive ship (rho-rho)
-
Refrigerating ship
-
Harbor services - Dredges
1 - Ship portacontenedores:
One is one of the families of ships of greater size. The greater ones arrive at the 350 meters of length with a capacity for almost 9,500 containers, although not yet they have finalized its growth in size, having itself published studies of portacontenedores of up to 18,000 Teus, with a length of 470 meters and 60 meters of sleeve.
This spectacular development of size has been possible thanks to the advances in the construction of powerful motors that have allowed these ships to reach speeds of 26 knots, powers of 90,000 horses and 250 metric ton. of daily fuel consumption. In order to handle the unloading of this type of ships in the ports special cranes able are needed 50 to raise metric ton. to 50 M.s of reach. Between shipping the greatest ones than they make this type of transport are Maersk Line (it has the greatest ships of the world), Evergreen, P&O, H Lloyd and MSC.
2 - Ships Tank (oil, quimiquero, gasero)
Oil tankers (oilCrude Carriers): As its name indicates the load that transports is crude petroleum from the platforms offshore or from ports of producing countries to the refineries.
They are the ships of greater size. Until it does very little were gotten to construct oil tankers of more than 500,000 TPM. True almost 400 cubical monsters of mtrs of length (three together football grounds). Nowadays the idea has give inn to construct these great ships. He is more viable to construct to ship of half tonnage by his flexibility of transport and yield (even so they are greatest).
They are very easy to identify since they are great fine great drawers without in the prow and stern. Its main characteristic is the presence throughout the cover and in its central axis, of the pipes of load and unloading of the crude one. The rest of the cover appears cleared almost. Two small cranes located to starboard and port are in charge to move the hoses that are connected to the wharf or the platform for their load and unloads.
Of still more small characteristic similars but and that loads products derived from the crude one are the asfalteros, they bitumen to tanker and other that load products indicated according to their name.
Chemical ships (Chemical Tankers): They are similar to the previous family but they are dedicated to the chemical agent transport (fenol, ammonia, gasoline and other derivatives, ect.).
The size is rather small (5,000 or 10,000 TPM) although can arrive at the 50,000 TPM.
In its many tanks (up to 40 either the more) they can load different types from product and they are classified, according to the type of aggressiveness or risk of its load, in three classes (Type 1, 2 or 3). The tendency is that they are constructed for the three.
They are ships of a high cost by the constructive exigencies like the double helmet, stainless steel tanks, or sophisticated painting systems.
The greater shipbuilder for the chemical agent transport via marine is the American company of Norwegian origin Stolt Nielsen.
Ship Gaseros - L.N.G. Carrier: They are ships of transport of Natural gas or liquefied gas. Very they are falsified and of a high tech that is translated in a high cost of construction.
There are them of two types, the LNG (liquified Natural Gas) and the LPG. The difference is in which first they transport the gas in liquid state to temperatures of up to -170 ºC and the seconds to -50º C and a 18 pressure of Kg/cm2.
They quickly identify since in its cover they show great spherical tanks, cylindrical or an elevated cover for the new system of transport known by “Technigaz System”.
In the photo, one of these gaseros ships, with a length of almost 300 meters and 135,000 m3 of capacity, with 4 spherical tanks (greatest of the world) of 40.44 mtrs of diameter made with an alloy of aluminum, magnesium and manganese.
3-Ship transports solid loads in bulk (bulk Carrier)
The graneleros ships, also calls “bulkcarries” are dedicated to the transport of dry loads in bulk.
Usually they are of great size (until 200.000TPM), surpassing in some cases 300m of length. Normally they sail at low speed.
They are easily identifiable to have an only cover run with several hatchways (normally uneven) and tracks to one or both sides by where the cover or covers of the hatchways runs. The graneleros Panamax type, calls thus because they can pass by the Panama Canal with limitations of openwork (32.2 ms) and sleeve which are equivalent to a died weight of 60/70,000 tons.
They can transport cereals, minerals (mineraleros) or compound “Oil/bulk/ore to carrier” that it transports dry loads and crude. In the case of the transport of heavy loads their warehouses are reinforced to withstand strikes. Some ships can have own means of unloading with cranes.
The cementeros and alumineros are a special type of bulkarrier since very they are specialized. Usually they are small (6,000 TPM) and have own means of load and unloading by means of pipes by average tires (fluidificación system).
4 - General cargo vessels
They are known with the multipurpose name, because they can transport diverse types of merchandise, overhead, in bulk, containers and they even can take some small tank. Normally they take cranes in center for his own load and unloading, Are ships that must transport special-purpose charges that by their size or weight cannot be transported in general cargo vessels. For these cases, the ships have arranged the cranes in the lateral ones to leave a cover opened in their totality.
5 - Ship loads rolled, Roll on - Roll off (rho-rho)
Their abbreviations mean “to inside roll - to roll outside”. They transport solely merchandise with wheels that are loaded and unloaded by means of vehicles tractors in several covers communicated by means of inclines or elevators.
They are characterized to have a great folding porthole in the stern or prow that does the times of incline, as well as a very high superstructure and releases.
They load all type of rolling loads, vehicles, trucks and loaded trailers of containers.
Its aspect is the one of a great floating drawer. This type of boat takes an falsified system of correction of lists and that consists of powerful pumps that “inject” the ballast water from a tank to another one as it takes place lists it correcting this.
6 - Refrigerating boat
Ships specialized for the transport of perecederos goods and/or special conditions that must remain in cooled warehouses. Depending on the type of load the temperature to maintain it oscillates between 12ºC necessary for the transport of the banana, until the fruit and fish congealed between -15ºC and -30ºC. Its capacity oxila between 100 and 600 thousand cubical feet.
They are externally characterized to have a cover with houses that excel of this and several cranes of not more than 5/10 metric ton than were in charge to move the merchandise of the warehouses. Normally they go painted in white color (by the reflection of rays of the sun and nonabsorption of temperature) like aid to maintain the low temperatures.
They have fine lines and a high power to reach discharges speeds, unusual in another type of ship.
7 - Dredges:
They are ships whose work is the one to eliminate sediments of the bottom of the ports, channels of entrance, offering therefore a greater openwork. Also to rivers and their openings are dredged being the objective he himself. The rivers in their opening deposit sands gathered and dragged throughout their passage. It becomes necessary in the case of navigable rivers of eliminating these sediments periodically.
It can have several systems of dredged. By means of buckets, chuponas or simply by means of cranes that make to go down to the bottom spoons that gather the sand.
In the photos we see some models of dredges and tugboats.
