Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a passenger ship, such as a passenger liner, which includes a main structure bounded by a hull and its upper deck, above which arises at least one superstructure, wherein it has at least one arch which stands generally fore and aft, and which extends at least partly over the main structure, its opposite ends being firmly joined to this main structure, so that the arch carries at least part of the loads connected with its deflection.
Claims22
A passenger ship, comprising:
- a main structure bounded by a hull and an upper deck;
- at least one superstructure rising above said main structure of said passenger ship;
- at least one arch that stands generally fore and aft and that extends at least partly over said main structure between opposite ends of said at least one arch;
- said opposite ends of said at least one arch being joined to said main structure so that said at least one arch carries at least part of a load resulting from deflection of said at least one arch;
- and
- wherein said at least one superstructure includes an assembly including at least one deck and at least one transverse structural bulkhead, at least one part of said assembly of said at least one superstructure being joined to said at least one arch.

A passenger ship, comprising:
- a hull;
- a superstructure rising above said hull;
- at least one arch that stands generally fore and aft and that extends at least partly over said hull between a pair of opposite ends of said at least one arch;
- said pair of opposite ends of said at least one arch being secured to said hull so that said at least one arch forms a load carrying assembly with said hull;
- and
- said superstructure including at least one deck and at least one transverse structural bulkhead, at least one part of said superstructure being connected to said at least one arch.
3 more elements
A passenger ship, comprising:
- a hull having a waterline defined by a displacement of said hull when said passenger ship is floating at rest;
- a superstructure located above said hull;
- at least one arch extending generally fore and aft and that extends at least partly over said hull between a pair of opposite ends of said at least one arch;
- said pair of opposite ends of said at least one arch being secured to said hull so that said at least one arch forms a load carrying assembly with said hull;
- and
- said at least one arch being connected to said superstructure and located entirely above said waterline of said hull.
