Nearly Unsinkable Double-Hull Multi-Bulkhead Freighter Body
This hull was built with the inspiration of Great Lakes 1000ft Freighters, which frequent the river where I grew up and still live to this day. Sadly the limits of Stormworks means that this bulk carrier body has only been designed to the pitiful maximum large build area of 56.5m (185ft). That said, it's still fully capable of handling almost any heavy task you give it.
The body has been painstakingly designed as a double-hull. This double-hull was split down the center by a bulkhead, separating port from starboard. In addition, it was then sub-divided from stem to stern with 10 bulkheads dividing the double-hull. This has resulted in the double-hull having 20 separate watertight compartments. Each of these compartments has a pumping system built in, for quick and automatic flooding control. I won't make any claims that she's unsinkable, but she should be able to take some very severe hull damage and still limp back to port.
For manoeuvring, I've pre-installed a set of pitchable propellers on the stern of the vessel, and have run driveshafts through the double-hull, but have left decisions on the actual propulsion power-plant to you. Will you go with a coal-steam boiler system? Will you go nuclear energy with electric drive motors? Will you install some fuel tanks and stick to the raw power of diesel engines? I leave that up to you.
I've also included a set of grounding-shields around the propellers, complete with steering rudders to ensure you can manoeuvre the ship efficiently.
I hope you enjoy this hull and would simply ask that, should you use it in any workshop or social media video, that you please give credit where credit is due. Thank you.
