You have a chemical tanker, and God forbid, your ship sinks.
- You lose the ship.
- You lose the cargo.
- You pay millions of dollars in environmental disaster compensation.
- You face millions of dollars in ship salvage costs.
However, in the Covertainer concept, if the ship sinks, the only requirement is an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) or a diver. You simply attach the hose, pull the cargo, and blow the air back in.
- You recover the cargo.
- You recover the ship.
- The environmental disaster is mitigated with minimal loss.
- Since the cargo bag is already inside the ship, the ship salvage equipment cost is minimized.
