Catamarans have something extra....
"Richard Casady" wrote in message ... The original question was if the could they be made to sink and I pointed that if they started out that heavy , the all up weight comes to a ridiculous total for the ships. As it is, a container of machinery will slowly sink, but foam packing may keep a box,or enough of them, the boxboat itself, afloat until it lots of rusting has occured. How about passing international law that all shipping containers must be loaded, either with cargo, mixed cargo or cargo and ballast, so as to make them negatively buoyant? Might complicate loading a bit, but would increase safety at sea immensely. |
