【発明の名称】可動プラスティック内部壁を使用した船舶構造
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002521275
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A ship is constructed of a skeleton, including a hull, horizontal decks, and vertical support posts, all permanently joined together. At least some of the interior walls are made of a composite material of reinforcement embedded in a plastic matrix. These non-structural interior walls are semi-permanently attached to the skeleton with attachments, so that they may be readily rearranged to reconfigure the interior of the ship. The majority of the apparatus and infrastructure of the ship is affixed to the skeleton but not to the non-structural walls.
