Abstract: A framework carrier adapted to move railway waggons outside a railway yard includes two first, longitudinal beams, each carrying a rail and two second, transverse beams adapted to co-operate with a transporting member, said transverse beams being adapted to locate the rails upon the carrier in alignment with the rails of the tracks, when the carrier is brought to rest against fixed stops at the track heads.

Abstract: General cargo must be stowed differently when being transported by ships, or by railway waggons and trucks, respectively. To reduce the time a ship is tied up in port, a transhipping station is provided, where work can proceed before the ship arrives and after the ship has left port. This station is arranged so it is available along one side to railway waggons carried by special transport devices, remotely from railway tracks, at a second side is available to cargo-bigflats, suited for cargo handling on board ships, and possibly also, along a third side, being available to road trucks.
