2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, small boats related to marine leisure such as motor boats and jet boats have been actively used. However, in order to refuel such boats including fishing boats and fishing boats, users usually use fuel tanks such as plastic tanks. In most cases, you buy and refuel yourself.

On the other hand, an oil storage tank is installed on land at a port or a landing site, and an oil supply hose having an oil supply nozzle at the tip is extended from the oil storage tank via an oil supply mechanism such as an oil supply pump and a flow meter. Sometimes refueling facilities are provided. In other words, gas stations are used for ships.To refuel, anchor the ship at a port or landing site, draw out a refueling hose, insert the refueling nozzle at the tip into the ship's fuel tank, and refuel. Do.

[0004]

The refueling facility requires a long refueling hose because the position of the refueling port differs depending on the ship, and the refueling hose must be drawn out to the refueling point each time. May cause oil.

[0005] Further, since the refueling equipment is fixedly installed, the ship cannot always be moored at a location close to the location where the refueling equipment is installed. Since refueling was not available, the ship had to move and was troublesome.

Further, when the mooring point is in danger due to the ebb and flow of the tide or strong wind, it is dangerous to try to refuel here.

[0007] In addition, the location where fuel can be received is limited, and the number of refueling equipments installed is not large. It is also a hindrance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, to provide safe and easy refueling, and to easily move a refueling device to any place on the sea, and to limit the refueling point to the marine leisure industry. In addition, as well as refueling vehicles on the ground, it is possible to measure the sales of ships that are refueling, issue slips on site, and receive refueling without discomfort. It is an object of the present invention to provide a marine refueling system in which measures are taken to prevent marine pollution of oil.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a floating body having an L-shaped cross-section around its periphery for preventing oil leakage and having a floating ring-shaped oil-proof fence which is expandable. A fuel cell, a service facility, and a solar cell serving as a driving power source for the fueling facility, etc. are mounted, and the oil-proof fence is locked by a locking wire having an end fixed to the floating body, and contracts and folds when not in use. It is housed under the enclosure in a closed state, and when used, is configured to expand in a floating ring shape and separate from the floating body so as to surround the periphery of the floating body. A cylinder is disposed in the hollow of the floating body, and the cylinder is protected. An oil fence is connected by a pipe provided with a valve in the middle, and the fueling equipment is provided with a fueling pump and a flowmeter in the middle of a fueling pipe having one end opened in the fuel tank, and a flow transmission device attached to the flowmeter. Pulse to flow signal An indicator for receiving and displaying a refueling amount is provided, and a refueling hose wound around a hose reel and having a refueling nozzle at a tip is connected to the other end of the refueling pipe. The gist of the present invention is to provide a refueling data input / output device having a printer for receiving refueling data such as a refueling amount and a refueling amount.

[0010]

According to the present invention, since the refueling equipment is mounted on a floating body such as a barge, refueling can be performed on the sea or on a lake, and the refueling can be performed by moving the floating body to an arbitrary point on the sea or on a lake. Equipment can be easily moved and refueling can be performed at any location. Then, in this case, for a ship that is going to receive refueling in the same way as refueling a car on the ground, insert a refueling nozzle into the fuel tank of the ship, drive the refueling pump, and turn off the fuel tank mounted on the floating body. When fuel is supplied through a fuel supply pipe and a fuel hose, the flow rate is measured by a flow meter, and the flow rate signal from the flow rate transmission pulse is received and displayed on a display meter. Then, a slip describing refueling data such as the refueling amount is issued from the printer of the refueling data input / output device. Therefore, for example, it is possible to measure and sell and receive refueling without discomfort, furthermore, it is possible to prevent marine pollution by an enclosure and an oil-proof fence against oil leakage, and the oil-proof fence is below the enclosure when not in use. Because it can be stored in the box. In addition, since a solar battery can be used as a driving power source, a power source can be easily secured.
