Hydro Lance has expressed the H.A.R.T.H technology in this design of the Hydro Liner. Both to the right and to left sides, within the above picture, can be seen conventional fishing trawlers. Note how the Hydro Liner averages the surface forces of all waves to near zero influence. The result is no pitch, heave, sway, yaw or roll. This platform may be configured with luxury cabins, infirmary, heliport, dinning facility and lounge. Off season, this vessel can be configured as a work boat, heavy-lift, or for cargo transport. This sketch offers features to show some combined capabilities of HARTH design. Just below the house can be seen the outboard rail extensions of an overhead moving crane (one of two) for off-loading fish from fishing boats into the tender far out at sea. The catch is then purchase at sea. The fishing craft may then continue fishing and refueling capabilities can be built into the HL tender ship.
Fresh fish brings a premium price at port. Fish is considered fresh if consumer delivered within 72 hours of being caught. Conventional fishing boats and trawlers typically travel at speeds of 8-12 Knots (10-15 MPH). If they are 200 miles from port, this would mean approximately 20 hours of travel, plus the time on-site to catch the fish. Their holds are limited, and when filled, they must return, only to unload, refuel and travel 20+ hours back to where the fishing site has moved to. The schools of fish may then just have gone away.
Oil clean-up capable in the case of such ecological disasters of sink oil ships. View the 12-minute video (last segment) accessed from the 'Early Test Vessel' page.
The Hydro Liner economically cruises at 52-75 Knots, and would be able to transport a collection of catches from fishing boats, paying cash for the weighed load and quality - and their sea-food catches would then be transported to the same processing port as exampled above .. in approximately 3 Hours! Those slower fishing vessels may remain where they are at sea, and continue to catch more fish for extended periods. The presence of a fast fish transport ship increases the value of the fresh catch commodity, fish quality and safety, and also increases the safety for the conventional fishing boats in cases of needed rescue or other high-seas emergencies.
