SBV As has already been pointed out by others, shipping containers are not airtight or watertight, and fail to sink only because of the buoyancy (if any) of their contents. "Breather Tubes" to let more air out, or more water in, will not solve the essential problem. Clock's still ticking. |

If the stuff in the container is dense, it will sink. If it is filled with a lot of foam packing, It won't sink. Casady |

Which is why I proposed requiring ballast (or otherwise adjusting the buoyancy) so the container would sink if the cargo would otherwise prohibit sinking. |

crap: Hey, if he wants dumber, he can always read and study the posts of some of the more......proficient? posters of this group. One who has more, is worth more, and is better at everything comes immediately to mind. Also, one from a bay-area in Kalifornicatia. Are you talking about Jon-boy? I'm Horvath and I approve of this post. |
