HYDRA TF

目前，商船被严格限制在单一的出港行程中，只能运载原油等货物，并空载返航。拟议的夸张研究HYDRA项目旨在测试一种新的海上工程解决方案的概念可行性，如果该解决方案得到证实，将使散装船、原油、产品和化学品油轮在其可运载的货物类型方面具有多用途。这将促进入境运输，可能改变航运经济及其社会环境影响。HYDRA解决方案包括一个由夸张研究公司设计的创新的预制转换系统。当在油轮的各个货舱区域实施时，HYDRA系统将扩展船舶的能力，以携带更多种类的货物，而无需进行昂贵或漫长的清洁。除了显著提高运输的通用性外，HYDRA改造还可以改善货舱区域的结构完整性，最大限度地减少运输原油等液体货物时船体破裂对环境造成的潜在破坏。

Currently merchant vessels are strictly limited to carrying cargoes like crude oil on a singular outbound journey, returning with empty holds. The proposed Exagenica Research HYDRA project seeks to test the conceptual viability of a novel maritime engineering solution which, if proven, would enable bulk carriers, crude oil, product and chemical tankers to be multi-purposed in terms of the type of cargoes they can carry. This would facilitate transportation on inbound journeys, potentially transforming shipping economics and its socio-environmental impact.The HYDRA solution consists of an innovative, pre-fabricated conversion system designed by Exagenica Research. When implemented across the respective hold areas of a tanker, the HYDRA system will extend the ship's capability to carry more varied cargoes without the need to undergo expensive or lengthy cleaning.In addition to dramatically improving transportation versatility, the HYDRA conversion has also been designed to improve the structural integrity of hold areas, minimising the potential environmental damage caused by a hull breach while transporting liquid cargoes such as crude oil.
