Description

floating structure

technical field

The invention relates to a floating structure comprising at least one deck structure having a deck plane and above which is arranged at least one space unit comprising a wet space comprising a floor structure of a given height , the floor structure is provided with a discharge duct, and the space unit is provided with an external service facility with a bottom, the deck structure is provided with a recess, the area of which corresponds at least to the surface area of the bottom of at least one external service facility, wherein at least the external service facility The bottom of the facility is at a given level below the deck level. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a floating structure.

Background technique

The manufacture of floating structures, the construction of space units thereon, as well as the manufacture of prefabricated space units and their transport and installation on floating structures are known in the prior art. The space units may be provided with a floor, or they may be referred to as floorless space units. In the latter case, the deck plane of the deck structure of the floating structure provides the space unit floor, which can be covered as required.

Outside the boundaries of the space unit a space for service facilities is built, which is provided with elements connected to the interior fixtures and wet space fixtures of the space unit. These elements include, for example, parts of gray water piping, black water piping, fresh water piping, condensate or waste water piping, cooling water piping and/or hot water piping of the floating structure. Wet space connections are eg outlet and inlet fittings and water pipes associated with sanitary installations.

Traditionally, the space units are arranged in layers on the floating structure, supported on the deck structure, wherein the aforementioned elements are connected to the deck structure penetrations present in the service facility. Flexible joint components are often fitted between these elements and the deck structure penetrations. Service installations traditionally have a bottom level with the deck level. Deck structure penetrations are attached to ductwork extending between levels.

This has resulted in water spillages along the deck plane of the deck structure, i.e. the area that actually spans and surrounds the space unit, e.g. flat passage. The floor of a deck plane or space unit is often covered with various types of floor, laminate, carpet, etc., allowing leaks to spill over an even larger area before being detected. This then leads to time-consuming and expensive repair work.

In addition, the floor structure of the wet space in the space unit is usually raised so that waste water can be drained due to gravity from various points in the wet space towards the bottom of the service facility (which is also flush with the deck structure as mentioned above) to the service On deck structure penetrations that exist at the bottom of the facility. The discharge duct is fitted under the floor surface of the floor structure with a given height in the wet space. In other words, the drain needs an adequate gradient. In addition, the raised floor structure of the wet space somewhat hinders movement inside the space unit.

Another consequence of this raised floor structure of the wet space is the increased height of the space units, thereby providing sufficient ceiling heights for the space units and the wet space, in compliance with industry-related regulations and standards. Therefore, the inter-deck distance in floating structures must be large enough to provide sufficient vertical spacing between the deck structures for the space units and their wet spaces. The increased distance between decks limits the number of deck structures because of the overall height limitations associated with floating structures. As a typical example, eg cruise ships may be mentioned, which are generally configured to include as many cabins (space units), ie as practically as many deck structures, for supporting the cabins. The height of cruise ships and other floating structures has limitations related to, for example, the stability of the floating structure. The number of cabins on a cruising ship makes a difference in the economics of cruising affairs. A space unit can also be, for example, a bathroom or other space that is not connected to an actual cabin or other living space.

US 4,622,911 discloses a solution in the case of bathrooms with external pipe boxes arranged below deck level. This solution does not provide any means for monitoring or controlling leakage from the bathroom or its connections.

Contents of the invention

It is an object of the present invention to provide a floating structure by which the above-mentioned problems are eliminated and by which it provides the floating structure with an arrangement of space units which is both from the point of view of the floating structure and from the point of view of the occupants of the space unit. Be as functional as possible. This object is achieved with the floating structure of the present invention.

The basic idea of the invention is to utilize the actual height of the deck structure so that any leakage from wet spaces can be managed or the height between decks can be reduced.

This is achieved by locating the bottom of the space unit or the floor structure of the wet space in the space unit associated with the external services and the bottom of the external services associated with the space unit at a lower level than the deck level of the deck structure . Where the bottom of the external service facility extends just below the deck plane of the deck structure, any possible leakage will be confined to the boundary of the service facility, where it is most likely to occur. In the alternative, the wet space itself is lowered and all leak points, even rarer ones, can be monitored and controlled, and advantageously lead to sinking of the ship's structure. This is achieved by providing a lowered surface area formed at least by the bottom of the external service facility with leak monitors, whereby any leaks occurring in the surface area of the lowered recess are monitored by at least the external service facility or with a sewer where any leakage occurring in the surface area of the descending recess is directed to the sewer, the recess being at least formed by the bottom of the external service, in other words the leak is received by the sewer , for further emissions. In the mentioned alternative, the lowered surface area will be formed by the floor structure of the lowered wet space and the bottom of the external services.

This solution also enables a reduction in the height of the floor structure of the wet space, since the bottom of the external services, which has been lowered below the deck level, provides a sufficient gradient for ensuring the outflow of water from the wet space. In case the floor structure of the wet space preferably also extends integrally to a given level below the deck level, all possible water leakages will be confined at the boundary of the wet space and the services. In addition, this arrangement allows for a reduction in the distance between decks if the floor structure of the wet space has a floor surface flush with the deck plane. The threshold height of the wet space relative to the rest of the space floor can thus be reduced or completely eliminated as desired.

The deck structure is preferably provided with at least one recess having a width corresponding to the depth of the external service or the depth of the wet space. The recess may thus be a continuous recess, having a width corresponding to the depth of the external service or a width corresponding to the depth of the wet space, extending continuously over the deck structure, for example in the transverse or longitudinal direction of the ship. The lowered surface area will in this case be formed by a continuous recess.

The recess takes the form of a trough, having walls and a bottom, wherein any leakage is advantageously accommodated by the boundaries of the recess.

The aforementioned one recess can also be designed with an area corresponding to the surface area of the bottom of the external service or to the combined surface area of the floor structure of the wet space and the bottom of the external service. It is also preferable to choose the dimensions of the recess so as to correspond to the external services of several adjacent space units, or to correspond to the wet spaces and services of several adjacent space units.

The recess formed in the deck structure thus forms a trough having walls and a bottom, wherein the bottom forms a lowered surface area. Thus, any leakage may be accommodated in a recessed area, the area of which may correspond to the bottom of the external service facility, a combined area corresponding to the bottom of the external service facility and the floor structure of the wet space, or some of these. The recess may further be referred to as a continuous recess, which thus forms a groove along the deck structure, which has a corresponding width to the bottom of the external service facility or to the floor structure of the wet space.

In any of these embodiments, the following advantages may be provided, alone or in combination: (i) any leaks may be controlled so that they do not spread out of the recess; (ii) any leaks may be monitored using a leak detector, which detects The drain can be positioned on the bottom of the recess according to the position that provides the best control; (iii) any leakage can be directed onto the sewer pipe, which can be positioned on the bottom of the recess according to the position that provides the best control;( iv) any leaks in service facilities or wet spaces can even be controlled together if they are located far away from each other; and (v) the embodiment also allows for a reduction in the distance between decks, either individually or in combination as required in this case Increase the free height of the wet space significantly.

The external services associated with the wet space of the space unit are preferably adapted to comprise at least one deck structure penetration. Where for example two space units are placed next to each other such that their wet spaces and their associated external services abut and are adjacent to each other, the external services may preferably be provided with a single common deck structure penetration . This greatly reduces the number of deck structure penetrations and associated sewer systems.

Advantageously, the space unit may be, for example, a cabin, a living space, a public space or a bathroom.

The invention also provides a method for building a floating structure.

Detailed ways

In FIG. 1 , the floating structure is indicated by reference numeral 1 . For example, the floating structure may be a watercraft such as a ship or a drilling platform or another such structure. The embodiments described later mainly in relation to ships will therefore also apply to floating structures in general.

A floating structure 1 , such as a cruise ship, comprises a hull 100 fitted with a deck structure comprising a deck plane 21 ( FIG. 2 ) and housing several at least partially furnished space units 3 . Space units may be site constructed or prefabricated. In the external services 5 , outside the boundaries (walls) of the space units 3 , domestic plumbing systems 9 are built, some of which relate to the interior furnishing of the space units 3 . The piping system 9 runs through the external services and between the deck structures arranged in layers, wherein the piping system 9 passes through the deck structure through the deck structure penetrations 7 ( FIG. 2 ). The service facility 5 is generally arranged outside the wall 4 of the wet space 6 ( FIG. 2 ) of the space unit 3 . Typical piping systems 9 include, for example, gray water piping, black water piping, fresh water piping, condensate or waste water piping, cooling water piping or hot water piping in floating structures. The connections of these piping systems to the wet space of the space unit on the one hand and to the deck structure penetrations on the other hand are prone to leaks. In addition, the wet space of the space unit may have leaks that move directly onto the deck plane 21 through the floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 (Fig. 3a, 4a, 5a) or the bottom 51 of the service facility 5 (Fig. 3a, 4a, 5a) . The solution of the invention is intended to eliminate this problem typical of prior art solutions.

A space unit may also be, for example, a bathroom or another comparable space, such as a public space, which is not connected to an actual cabin or other living space. Often a space like this also houses service facilities.

Figure 2 shows an example of a deck structure comprising a deck plane 21 of a floating structure. Several space units 3 and wet spaces 6 for it are installed on the deck structure. A commonly applied configuration of space units is such that the wet spaces 6 of adjacent space units 3 are positioned against or adjacent to each other. The external services 5 are generally arranged outside the wall 4 of the wet space, so that the services 5 present outside the wet space 6 also abut or are adjacent to each other. Figure 2 also shows how the deck structure penetrations 7 are arranged together with the bottom 51 of the respective service facility 5 (Figures 3a, 4a, 5a). These will be discussed in more detail hereinafter with reference to Figures 3a - 5b, which show various embodiments of the invention.

A space unit may also be, for example, a bathroom or another comparable space, such as a public space, which is not connected to an actual cabin or other living space. Often a space like this houses service facilities.

Figures 3a and 3b show a first embodiment of the invention. Figures 3a and 3b show a first embodiment of the invention. Figures 3a and 3b show an adjacent or oppositely positioned wet space 6, more specifically a floor structure 61 of the wet space 6, for two adjacent space units. Both wet spaces 6 are provided with external services 5 which, as mentioned above, are also arranged side by side. The bottom of each service facility 5 is indicated by reference numeral 51 . In this embodiment, the deck structure 2 is formed with a recess 22 corresponding to the combined surface area of the bottoms 51 of two service facilities 5 such that the bottoms of adjacent service facilities extend to a certain distance below the deck plane 21 of the deck structure 2 . flat. In other words, the bottom of the adjacent service facility 5 is lowered relative to the deck plane 21 of the deck structure 2 . The descending surface area A will thus be formed by the bottoms of two adjacent services 5 .

The floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 is mounted on top of the deck plane 21 of the deck structure 2 . The floor structure 61 typically has a height h1 of approximately 150 mm. The deck structure 2 typically has a height h2 of about 300-500 mm. The service facility 5 has a bottom 51 which is located at a given level below the deck level 21 of the deck structure 2 , ie the bottom 51 descends to a given depth s1 below the deck level 21 , for example about 60 mm. The drain pipe is fitted below the floor surface of the raised floor structure 61 (of a given height) of the wet space. Drains need to have a sufficient gradient to allow water to flow out.

The position of the bottom 51 of the descending service 5 provides a sufficient gradient towards the deck structure penetration 7 present at the bottom of the service, thus ensuring drainage of water from the wet space. Thus, the recess 22 present in the deck structure 2 is shaped as a trough with walls and a bottom, which thus matches the combined surface area of the service bottom. Thus, the lower surface area A will be formed in said groove. Thus, any possible leakage can be accommodated and collected in the groove.

This embodiment has been realized with two sets of deck structure penetrations 7 . Various plumbing systems 9 pass through the deck assembly penetration 7 with drain pipes 8 extending beyond the floor structure 61 and arranged to connect to dedicated sewer pipes (black water pipes, gray water pipes, etc.). The number of drain and sewer pipes connected by normally closed plumbing fixtures may vary.

Thus according to the present invention the location of leaks in service and deck structure penetrations will mostly occur at a level lower than the deck level, i.e. at the bottom 51 of the service 5, where any leaks can be accommodated within the confines of the service .

Leaks can be dried or directed to sewers located in the service facility. The service facility area may also be equipped with leak detectors for monitoring any leaks (discussed in more detail below in connection with Figures 8-10).

The floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 can also provide a steeper gradient, since the bottom of the service facility is at a lower level than the deck level.

In this embodiment, the distance between decks cannot be reduced.

However, the lowering of the bottom of the service facility below deck level allows the floor structure of the wet space to also be lowered, thereby ensuring a sufficient gradient for water conduction into the service facility. Therefore, lowering of the floor structure can be used as a means of providing smaller distances between decks. Even by lowering the floor structure of the wet space to as little as about 30 mm, the height of the wet space itself does not limit the distance between decks. In this case, the height of the inter-deck distance is determined by the height of the space unit and the associated transport height required when the space unit is installed on the deck structure.

Figures 4a and 4b show a variant of the first embodiment of the invention. Figures 4a and 4b show a first embodiment of the invention. Figures 3a and 3b show an adjacent or oppositely positioned wet space 6, more specifically a floor structure 61 of the wet space 6, for two adjacent space units. Both wet spaces 6 are provided with external services 5 which, as mentioned above, are also arranged side by side. Each service facility 5 has a bottom indicated by reference numeral 51 . In this embodiment, the deck structure 2 is formed with a recess 22 corresponding to the combined surface area of the bottoms 51 of two service facilities 5 such that the bottoms of adjacent service facilities extend to a certain distance below the deck plane 21 of the deck structure 2 . flat. In other words, the bottom of the adjacent service facility is lowered relative to the deck plane 21 of the deck structure 2 . The descending surface area A will thus be formed by the bottoms of two adjacent services 5 .

The floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 is mounted on top of the deck plane 21 of the deck structure 2 . The floor structure 61 typically has a height h1 of approximately 150 mm. The deck structure 2 typically has a height h2 of about 300-500 mm. The service facility 5 has a bottom 51 which is located at a certain level below the deck level 21 of the deck structure 2 , ie the bottom 51 descends to a given depth s1 below the deck level 21 , for example about 60 mm. The drain pipe is fitted below the floor surface of the raised floor structure 61 (of a given height). Drains need to have a sufficient gradient to allow water to flow out.

The position of the bottom 51 of the descending service 5 provides a sufficient gradient towards the common deck structure penetration 7 present at the bottom of the service, thus ensuring drainage of water from the wet space. Thus, the recess 22 present in the deck structure 2 is shaped as a trough with walls and a bottom, which thus corresponds to the combined bottom of the service facility. Thus, a reduced surface area A will be formed in said groove. Thus, any possible leakage can be accommodated and collected in the groove.

This embodiment is realized with only one common deck structure penetration 7 . Various plumbing systems 9 pass through the deck structure penetration 7, wherein the drain pipes 8 extend beyond the floor structure 61 and are arranged to connect to dedicated sewer pipes (black water pipes, gray water pipes, etc.). The number of drain and sewer pipes connected by normally closed plumbing fixtures may vary.

The position of the bottom 51 of the lowered service facility 5 enables water to be directed from the wet spaces 6 of two adjacently located space units to the common deck structure penetration 7 . The common deck structure penetration 7 is positioned farther from each wet space, but lower The location of the bottom 51 of the service facility 5 can still achieve a sufficient gradient for the discharge duct 8 extending from the respective wet space towards the deck structure penetration, even though the deck structure penetration is located further away from the respective wet space.

First, in practice, this provides the advantage that the number of deck structure penetrations required on the vessel is smaller than the number of deck structure penetrations dedicated to each wet space. A more significant benefit is that the amount of piping 9 (Fig. 1) in the floating structure can be definitely reduced. For example on a cruise ship with thousands of cabins and multiple decks, reducing the amount of ductwork makes a significant difference in reducing the installation effort and maintenance associated therewith, reducing the resulting weight, and reducing potential leak locations.

Also in this embodiment, the potential leak locations present in the service facility and deck structure penetrations are mostly at a lower level than the deck level, thus allowing any leaks to be contained within the confines of the service facility.

Leaks can be dried or directed to sewers located in the service facility. The service facility area may also be equipped with leak detectors for monitoring any leaks (discussed in more detail below in connection with Figures 8-10).

As mentioned above, the lowering of the bottom of the service facility below deck level allows the floor structure of the wet space to also be lowered, thereby ensuring a sufficient gradient for water conduction into the service facility. Therefore, lowering of the floor structure can be used as a means of providing smaller distances between decks. Even by lowering the floor structure of the wet space to as little as about 30 mm, the height of the wet space itself does not limit the distance between decks. In this case, the height of the inter-deck distance is determined by the height of the space unit and the associated transport height required when the space unit is installed on the deck structure.

Figures 5a and 5b show a second embodiment of the invention. Figures 5a and 5b show an adjacent or oppositely arranged wet space 6 for two adjacent space units, more specifically a floor structure 61 of the wet space 6. Both wet spaces 6 are provided with external services 5 which, as mentioned above, are also arranged side by side. The bottom of each service facility 5 is indicated by reference numeral 51 .

In this embodiment, the deck structure 2 is formed with a recess 22 corresponding to the combined surface area of the floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 and the combined surface area of the bottom 51 of the service facility 5 such that the floor structure of the adjacent wet space and The bottom of the adjacent service facility extends to a certain level below the deck level 21 of the deck structure 2 . In other words, the floor structure of the adjacent wet space and the bottom of the adjacent service facility 5 are lowered relative to the deck plane 21 of the deck structure 2 . This means that the floor structure of the wet space and the bottom of the services are lowered to a given depth s2 below the deck level 21 . Thus, the recess 22 present in the deck assembly is formed as a trough with walls and a bottom, which thus corresponds to a combined bottom consisting of the floor structure of the wet space and the bottom of the service facility. This allows possible leakage to be contained and collected in this groove. The descending surface area A will thus be formed by the bottoms of two adjacent services 5 in the trough.

Leaks can be dried or directed to sewers located in the service facility. The service facility area may also be equipped with leak detectors for monitoring any leaks (discussed in more detail below in connection with Figures 8-10).

Thus, the floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 has a floor plane flush with the deck plane 21 and the floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 has its bottom and the service facility 5 has a bottom at the same given plane below the deck plane. This ensures that all potential leak locations of the space units 3 , especially those of the wet spaces 6 , are located at a lower level than the deck level 21 . Thus, all possible leaks can be completely contained in the lowered area, which forms the lowered surface area A.

This embodiment has been realized with two deck assembly penetrations 7 . Various plumbing systems 9 pass through the deck structure penetration 7 with drain pipes 8 extending beyond the floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 and arranged to connect to dedicated sewer pipes through normally closed plumbing fittings (not shown) (black water pipe, gray water pipe, etc.). This configuration corresponds to Figures 3a and 3b. The number of drain and sewer pipes connected by normally closed plumbing fixtures may vary.

In the case of this embodiment, it is also possible to use only one joint deck structure penetration as described above with reference to the embodiment of Figures 4a and 4b. This achieves the same benefits obtained in this embodiment in a similar manner.

The floor structure 61 has a height hi of typically about 150 mm and the deck structure has a height h2 of typically about 300 - 500 mm. Thus, although both the floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 and the bottom 51 of the service facility 5 are lowered into the recess 22 built in the deck structure 2, this does not significantly affect the required properties of the deck structure. The above-mentioned depth s2, into which the floor structure of the wet space and the bottom of the service facility descend, will be approximately 150 mm to match the height h1 of the floor structure.

Additionally, this allows the threshold height between the floor structure of the wet space and the remainder of the space unit area to be reduced or eliminated entirely. In fact, this also leaves the only constraints on the interdeck structure remaining being the height of the space unit and the associated transport height required for the space unit when installed on the deck structure.

With reference to the above embodiments, the recess 22 built in the deck structure 2 is designed to be equal to the surface area of the service facility bottom 51 , or to the combined surface area of the floor structure 61 of the wet space 6 and the bottom 51 of the service facility 5 . In addition, these examples disclose an arrangement in which the space units are arranged in pairs, juxtaposed to each other, where the recesses of course correspond to the bottom combined surface area of two adjacent service facilities, or to the floor structure of two adjacent wet spaces And corresponding to the combined surface area of the bottom of two adjacent service facilities, the service facilities are arranged and connected between the wet spaces.

The recesses may also be configured to extend more or less continuously over the entire length or depth of the deck structure, i.e. in the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction of the ship's deck structure, depending on the specific configuration of the space units on the deck structure. layout. This will be discussed below with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 .

FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the invention, in which the deck structure 2 is formed with a continuous recess 221 comprising the above-mentioned walls and the bottom of the recess, forming a so-called combined leakage channel, which extends continuously along the deck structure 2 . The wet spaces 6 and service facilities 5 of two adjacent space units 3 are arranged between the space units in a face-to-face manner. The external service facility 5 has a certain depth, which is indicated by the reference s3. Thus, a reduced surface area A will be formed in said groove.

The continuous recess 221 built in the deck structure 2 has a width L1 corresponding to the depth s3 of the service facility 5 . If, for example, the space unit is a so-called floorless space unit, the continuous recess 221 remains open, alongside the wet space 6 . The resulting open position can be covered with a bridging part 23 , eg a plate, which thus replaces the part of the deck plane 21 remaining outside the deck structure 2 for which part it will constitute part of the floor of the space unit 3 . In this example there is one bridging element 23 . The number of these bridging components can be selected according to needs (for example, in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the number of bridging components is 2). For example, such an arrangement may be applied in conjunction with the embodiment of Figures 3a-4b.

As described above in connection with Figures 3a-5b, the leak can be dried or directed into a sewer pipe provided in the service facility or at any predetermined location of the continuous recess 221 forming said descending surface area A. The service facility area or continuous recess 221 forming said lowered surface area A may also be equipped with leak detectors for monitoring any leaks (discussed in more detail below in connection with Figures 8-10).

FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment of the invention, in which the deck structure 2 is formed with a continuous recess 222 comprising the above-mentioned walls and the bottom of the recess, forming a so-called combined leakage channel, which extends continuously along the deck structure 2 . The wet space 6 and the external service facilities 5 of two adjacent space units 3 are arranged between the space units in a face-to-face manner. The wet space 6 has a certain depth, which is indicated by reference s4. The depth s3 of the service facility is smaller than the depth s4 of the wet space. Thus, a reduced surface area A will be formed in said groove.

The continuous recess 222 built in the deck structure 2 has a width L2 corresponding to the depth s3 of the wet space 6 . If, for example, the space unit is a so-called floorless space unit, the continuous recess 222 remains open, alongside the wet space 6 . The resulting open position can be covered with a bridging part 23 , eg a plate, which thus replaces the part of the deck plane 21 remaining outside the deck structure 2 for which part it will constitute part of the floor of the space unit 3 . In this example there are two bridging elements 23 arranged side by side. The number of these bridging components can be selected according to needs (for example, in the embodiment of FIG. 6, the number of bridging components is 1). For example, such an arrangement may be applied in conjunction with the embodiment of Figures 5a-5b.

As described above in connection with Figures 3a-5b, the leak can be dried or directed into a sewer pipe provided in the service facility or at any desired location of the continuous recess 222 forming said descending surface area A. Any desired location of the service facility area or continuous recess 222 may also be equipped with leak detectors for monitoring for leaks (discussed in more detail below in conjunction with FIGS. 8-10 ).

The embodiment of FIGS. 6 and 7 is shown comprising two sets of deck structure penetrations 7 . Obviously, a common deck structure penetration as described in connection with Figures 4a and 4b would also suffice.

Leakage monitoring of services and leakage directed to sewers, as described above in connection with Figures 3a-7, will be discussed in more detail below with reference to Figures 8-10.

Figure 8 shows another variant of the first embodiment as shown in Figures 3a and 3b, which is also applicable to the embodiment discussed in connection with Figures 4a and 4b.

As mentioned above, any leaks from the piping system 9 ( FIG. 1 ) through the deck structure penetration 7 or from the connection of these piping systems to the wet space 6 of the space unit 3 or elsewhere in the wet space 6 The leakage is directed and collected in the area of the bottom 51 of the external service 5 as the bottom drops to a level below the deck level 21 . In order to monitor any such leaks, the bottom 51 of the service facility forming the lowered surface area A is provided with a leak detector 10 . The leak detector 10 can further be connected to a monitoring system to give an alarm if any leak occurs so that measures can be taken to deal with the leak before it causes any harm.

Figure 9 shows a variant of the second embodiment disclosed in connection with Figures 5a and 5b. The only difference compared to FIG. 8 is that in this variant the floor structure of the wet space and the bottom of the services are arranged at a lower level than the deck level 21 .

Figure 10 discloses a supplementary embodiment for monitoring or controlling any ongoing leaks and is directly applicable to the embodiments discussed in connection with Figures 3a-5b.

This embodiment may first advantageously include the optional leak detector 10 disclosed above in connection with FIGS. 8 and 9 . In order to remove leaks, ie water from the area of the bottom 51 of the external service 5 , conduits in the form of sewage pipes 11 are provided which are connected to the bottom 51 of the service 5 of a deck structure 2 . The bottom 51 forming the lowered surface area A is provided with an opening 52 which is directly connected to the sewage pipe 11 which extends down to the next lower deck structure 2 where it just terminates Above the plane of the bottom 51 of the service facility 5 . This arrangement can be repeated between the various deck structures 2 on the entire deck structure level.

As mentioned above, any leaks from the piping system 9 ( FIG. 1 ) through the deck structure penetration 7 or from the connection of these piping systems to the wet space 6 of the space unit 3 or elsewhere in the wet space 6 The leakage is directed and collected in the area of the bottom 51 of the service facility 5 as the bottom drops to a level below the deck level 21 . Any such leakage is provided for flowing into the sewer pipe 11 through its opening at the level of the bottom 5 of the service facility 5 and further down to the next lower deck level and finally down into the vessel structure , where it can be collected and disposed of. Thus, along the level of the deck structure 2, a series of waste pipes 11 may be provided for receiving any leakage collecting in the recess.

In this regard, everything disclosed in connection with Figures 1-5b is also valid for these embodiments to any other extent.

FIG. 11 shows an arrangement variant of the sewer pipe 11 discussed in connection with FIG. 10 . This variant provides the sewer pipe 12 as follows. The bottom 51 of the external service is provided with an opening 52 for receiving any leakage from the recess, which is introduced into a trap 13 surrounding the sewer pipe 12 which passes through the levels of the deck structure 2 thus forming a continuous sewer pipe, This differs from the split-by-deck arrangement discussed in connection with FIG. 10 . Leakage or water flows from the bottom area of the service installation 5 into the opening 52 of the bottom 51 of the service installation 5 , which bottom forms a descending surface area A, and flows further into the trap 13 which is in fluid connection with the sewer 12 , the sewage pipe passes through the deck structure 2 and the corresponding trap 13 arranged on the corresponding deck structure. The water flows into the trap 13 and further down through the sewer pipe 12 . In this regard, trap structures are not discussed in detail as they are considered to be known to those skilled in the art. The advantage of the trap 13 is that it prevents any odors from escaping from the sewage pipe 12 into the surroundings, more precisely first into the service facility 5 and from there into the ship area.

Fig. 12 discloses a fifth embodiment, which largely corresponds to the embodiment of Fig. 6 discussed above. However, in this embodiment the continuous tank 221 is provided with a leak monitor 10 and a sewer 11 as described in connection with FIG. 10 or also as shown in FIG. Tube 12. Leakage monitors and sewer pipes are thus arranged in the descending surface area A. Such combined leakage management could of course be provided for any of the embodiments discussed above.

Figure 12 also shows how the discharge pipe 8 is arranged so as to be connected to the pipe system 9 through a normally closed pipe fitting, ie the dedicated sewer pipe discussed above.

With respect to the embodiment of Figures 3a - 12, the spatial units are described as primarily cabins. A space unit may also be eg a bathroom or another space, eg a public space, which is not connected to the actual cabin or any other living space. Even this type of space usually has service facilities. Thus, the bathroom itself can constitute a wet space.

The arrangement of the leak detector 10 and the sewer pipe 11 or 12 can be applied in a corresponding manner to the embodiments discussed in connection with FIGS. 6 and 7 .

The description and the drawings associated therewith are only intended to clarify the basic idea of the invention. Details according to the invention, such as the number of space units, the number and location of wet spaces and services, the size and shape of recesses provided in the deck structure, the number and location of deck structure penetrations, etc. can be found in the following claims range changes.
