<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 />
