HYDRA TF

目前，商船严格限制在一次单独的出境旅程中运载原油等货物，返回时只带着空舱。拟议的Exagenica Research Hydra项目旨在测试一种新型海事工程解决方案的概念可行性，如果经过验证，该解决方案将使散货船、原油、成品油和化学品油轮能够在运载的货物类型方面实现多用途。这将方便入境旅程中的运输，潜在地改变航运经济及其社会环境影响。九头蛇解决方案由Exagenica Research设计的创新预制转换系统组成。当在油轮各自的货舱区域实施时，九头蛇系统将扩大船舶运载更多不同货物的能力，而不需要进行昂贵或漫长的清洁。除了显著提高运输的多功能性外，九头蛇系统还旨在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造成的潜在环境破坏。

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.
