There's a couple videos on YouTube of vehicles on a carrier ship where the vehicles are bash around a fiar bit beyond what might happen in a passenger safety impact test.
This one shows the result of a ship passing nearby a Category 3 hurricane and teh aftermath https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7EqGzO_qsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7EqGzO_qsc
- terom 4y agoMy parents had their car parked right behind a caravan with a bike rack on the back - they didn't notice anything when driving off the ship, and so it was kinda too late to do anything about it by the time they noticed the impact damage to their car's hood from the bike rack bouncing up and down. No risk of that happening here >:D
- boundlessdreamz 4y agoWow. That is indeed a great deal more damage than I expected.
- fy20 4y agoI'm surprised they aren't strapped down like on a tow truck. That would prevent the majority of issues.
- makeitdouble 4y agoDoing that for thousands of cars, at boarding and then at unboarding, looks like a huge logistics chalenge (even just thinking about changing every ship’s floor to allow for strapping) that has a pretty high cost that might exceed losing part of the cargo once in a blue moon. Shipping cars in containers sized structures could be a more realistic approach perhaps.
