The challenge

Following Mclean's vision, imagine a container ship design where a platform would be installed that could be released from the vessel with all the containers mounted on top of the platform. The vessel would be splatted into two parts, the first would be the main vessel with the engine and whatever a vessel needs and the second would be the releasable platform. In simpler terms, imagine a truck that pulling a container, now it is a vessel pulling this platfrom. After the vessel reaches its destination the floating platform is released and installed in the port so it can be handled or in case the vessel has to wait to be handled the platform is released into the sea near the port and the vessel is released from waiting in the queue and can set off to its next destination. The platforms could be divided in 2 or more platforms so they vessel's journey can be more flexible. In reality we have a trade of platform mounted with containers. FLOCO = FLOaiting COntainer

The solution

New vessel design that would incorporate a removable platform where containers can be loaded/unloaded.

Mission

Our mission is to better capitalize on the design of the vessels so that the shipping industry becomes more sustainable and flexible.
