Abstract
An arrangement for loading and unloading a ship comprises a boom having an upper portion in the form of a continuous box girder attached to a portal. An upper trackway is supported on a forward region of the boom on top of the box girder. A platform is suspended from a rear region of the boom and has a lower trackway mounted thereon. A movable feed head including an associated supply and discharge device and having one end adapted for cooperating with a loading and unloading device in the forward region of the boom is mounted for moving on the upper and lower trackways. A pylon is attached to a top side of the box girder between the ends of the boom, the upper trackway terminating approximately at the pylon. Guide cables are fixed to the boom and supported by the pylon. A drive is disposed on the box girder in the forward region of the boom for displacing the feed head, and struts are arranged for fixing the feed head to the drive.
