Abstract: The invention concerns an autonomous container ship comprising a bottom, a propulsion system, a loading and unloading system for loading and unloading containers, a balancing system, characterized in that the bottom has a hull incorporating a propulsion system and the ship comprises a carrying system for transporting containers from important ports equipped with facilities for loading and unloading containers to small ports not provided with such equipment and less than 4 meters deep. The ship includes a propulsion system ensuring the ship's cruising speed on the high seas and its speed in estuaries and ports, a loading and unloading system adapted to ports not provided with appropriate equipment, and a balancing system for balancing the ship at sea providing stability and trim during container handling operations.

Abstract: The invention concerns an autonomous container ship comprising a hull, a propulsion system, loading and unloading systems for loading and unloading containers, and a balancing system. The ship transports containers from larger ports equipped with facilities for loading and unloading containers to smaller ports which may not provide such equipment and may be less than 4 meters deep. The ship includes a propulsion system to propel the ship to cruising speed on the high seas and at lower speeds in estuaries and ports, loading and unloading systems adapted to ports not provided with appropriate equipment, and a balancing system for balancing the ship at sea by providing stability and trim during container handling operations.
