Abstract: Disclosed is a device for transporting and transferring containers. Said device is embodied as a floating and automotive object which is equipped with at least one crane. The crane comprises at least one vertical element, a slewing ring, and a boom. The crane is arranged in the area of a transversal axis that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the object. Furthermore, the crane is disposed laterally offset relative to the longitudinal axis while a deck house encompassing a pilot house is placed laterally next to the crane.

Abstract: A device for holding freight is composed of two containers, which are connected to each other by at least two connecting elements. The area where the containers are connected to each other is sealed off from the environment by at least one sealing element. Each container has a closable access opening at the end which faces the other container. The sealing element extends around the area of the outside edges of the two facing ends of the containers. The connecting element is installed on the containers in such a way that, when the containers are not connected to each other, an external contour of the connecting element is essentially in an interior position with respect to the external contour of the container.
