Abstract:

A review of the current methods for transferring cargo between a ship undergoing sea induced motion and a relatively stable platform or dock is made. Suggestions for improved equipment are offered as well as a plan for implementing them. Current equipment is felt to be adequate for transferring cargo in calm weather, but leaves much to be desired when transferring cargo in medium to high sea states.
