<strong>Stores</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>baggage</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ling<br />
The most efficient way of h<strong>and</strong>ling stores <strong>and</strong> <strong>baggage</strong> delivered on pallets or<br />
containers is by the shortest possible path – through the ship’s side. <strong>TTS</strong> has<br />
developed specialised sideloading systems to meet this requirement.<br />
<strong>MARINE</strong>
STORES AND BAGGAGE HANDLING<br />
The <strong>TTS</strong> telescopic ramp that<br />
facilitates stores <strong>and</strong> <strong>baggage</strong><br />
h<strong>and</strong>ling has been developed to<br />
serve different tide variations.<br />
The platform acts as part of the<br />
deck when in stowed position<br />
with the shell door closed.<br />
The drawing to the right shows<br />
a typical stores elevator serving<br />
two or more deck levels. The<br />
elevator, usually hydraulically<br />
operated, forms part of the deck<br />
in its stationary position.<br />

Midnatsol, one of the coastal<br />
express vessels in service along<br />
the north coast of Norway.<br />
This <strong>TTS</strong> installation is a fully<br />
automatic, high capacity system<br />
which moves pallets between<br />
the quay <strong>and</strong> the decks.<br />
The system can be modified<br />
to enable the h<strong>and</strong>ling of<br />
<strong>baggage</strong> <strong>and</strong> stores to meet the<br />
requirements of the latest cruise<br />
ships.<br />
