Comment on Cargo ships that ‘liquefy’ (2018)

Comments

Can't cargo hulls be compartmentalized to alleviate this? Or are the forces too great for this to be practical?

Compartmentalisation is fine for liquid cargoes, but make it a lot harder to load and unload particulate solids like these because the walls and baffles get in the way.
