Abstract

The present invention relates to a vessel for transporting and installing a offshore wind power generator. The vessel for transporting and installing a offshore wind power generator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a support frame enabling a offshore wind power generator to lie moved perpendicularly to a vessel body through a vessel body opening portion formed at a tail of the vessel body; and a sliding deck being able to move horizontally with respect to the vessel body to open and close the vessel body opening portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vessel for transporting and installing an offshore wind power generator, the vessel comprising:
a vessel body including a vessel body opening portion at a stern of the vessel body;
a support frame which enables the offshore wind power generator to move vertically through the vessel body opening portion; and
a sliding deck configured to move horizontally with respect to the vessel body to open and close the vessel body opening portion,
wherein the support frame includes a clamp that supports an upper end of the offshore wind power generator when the offshore wind power generator is transported or vertically moved,
wherein the clamp includes four hydraulic devices orthogonally coupled to each other to support the upper end of the offshore wind power generator, and
wherein the clamp maintains a rotational angle about a horizontal axis of the offshore wind power generator within maximum 7°.

2. The vessel of claim 1 , wherein the offshore wind power generator is seated on the sliding deck when the offshore wind power generator is transported.

3. The vessel of claim 1 , wherein the sliding deck is formed on the vessel body or is formed through sliding channels formed on sides of the vessel body opening portion.

4. The vessel of claim 1 , further comprising: another vessel including a vessel body is connected to the vessel body of the vessel to load transport, and install a plurality of offshore wind power generators.
