摘要：	The High Sea State Container Transfer System (HISEACOTS) enables in- stream container cargo transfer from crane ships to Army lighterage in high sea state conditions. Mission Area Analysis identifies the need for an expanded cargo offload capability in high sea state/swell conditions to improve productivity and efficiency. Recent Logistics-Over-The-Shore (LOTS) operations reveal severe deficiencies during in-stream offloading/ backloading of cargo in Sea States 2 (3.5 foot waves) and above. Operations are practically non-existent in Sea States 3 (more than 3.5 foot waves) because lighters and cargo experience severe relative motion and pendulation. Also of concern is the potential for damage when attempting to moor next to the crane ship. A full-scale HISEACOTS platform and gantry crane (minus traversing rails and arresting gates) was fabricated and tested in a 5-week user test at the James River Ready Reserve Fleet, located near Fort Eustis, Virginia, 25 March through 26 April 1991. The platform and gantry crane represent the major components of the total system and as such provide invaluable information on the feasibility of the concept. The Army's Lighter Air Cushion Vehicle-30 (LACV-30) successfully flew onto the platform 57 times. A loaded (15 ton), 20-foot container successfully transferred to the LACV-30 17 times. The shortest total lighterage cycle time recorded during the test was 12 minutes.
