The proposed Exagenica Research HYDRA project seeks to establish proof of market for a novel maritime engineering solution with the potential to enable crude oil, product and chemical tankers to be multi-purposed in terms of the type of cargoes they can carry. This would facilitate transportation on inbound journeys, potentially transforming shipping economics and its socio-environmental impact.
