interesting feeder cargo/container ship idea

[cteno4]

hey here is a really cool use of swath technology! seems like a great idea for more local cargo. mega ports have a lot of issues these days

Looks a bit like the old LASH concept.

thanks, i had forgotten about those. sort of a combo of lash and heavy lift vessel with the swath thrown in. this is on a larger scale using large barges that usually bring containers and cargo to more remote spots. with this concept though its mainly just using the tsl to transport the barges long distances more efficiently and faster w/o the cargo transfer down time thats killer on larger ships.
