WE KNOW MID AIR REFUELLING , BUT DO WE KNOW MID SEA REFUELLING ?
Most of us know how mid air refueling is done . But has anyone wondered how do huge ships sailing in
the sea get their fuel from , or how they refuel their tanks .
Majority of the ships cant waste time being at the harbor and refueling . Especially during wars , War
ships cant afford to come back to port or harbor to refuel .
In this case , The war ships usually have a tanker ship or replenishment ship which is an auxillary ship
which carries large amount of fuel .This is also a main factor of determining the strength of a country’s
navy .
Most of the merchant ships refuel in the open sea . Sea have submerged pipelines and the merchant
ships get easily refueled by connecting to the pipelines . This reduces the time to harbor the ship , port
cost and many more ….
The major disadvantage of fuelling in the sea leads to the pollution and Is very hazardous to the marine
life . The number of pipelines under the sea are increasing at such a pace that in a few years the
pipelines will be running over each other .
