Method and a system for transporting vehicles

A system for transporting vehicles, primarily cars, by means of a seagoing vessel, said system comprising:

• one or more cassettes which include at least one floor, each floor including a vehicle driveway, each driveway connectable to ramps so disposed that the vehicles can be driven onto the ramps and onto said driveways to position the vehicles one after the other until the cassette has been loaded with a desired number of vehicles to allow transporting of the cassette onto the vessel, and to allow the cassette to be transported from the vessel and connected to the ramps to permit driving the vehicles from the cassette and along the ramps, wherein ends of each driveway are connectable to the ramps, wherein the cassettes include means for coupling the cassettes together in a manner to form a multicassette-unit for lifting and transportation as a unit, and wherein the cassettes are constructed so that when positioned one behind the other, the driveways of two sequentially arranged cassettes coact to enable vehicles to be driven on driveways from one cassette over to another cassette and to enable the vehicles to be driven in a forward direction when unloading the vehicles.
