m.t.s. Apollo: Collision Tests
The Apollo is the first type C tanker for inland waterways that applies the use of bigger tanks as mentioned in the ADNR. The tanks can hold 760m3 each instead of 380m3. The Scheldehuid makes this possible as it reduces the risk of leakage in a collision. The ship was nominated for the KNVTS Ship of the Year Award 2008. In addition to the article in SWZ Maritime, edition 1, 2009, you can find two videos here. One of a collsion test with a standard hull and one with the Scheldehuid as applied on the Apollo. Elsewhere on this website there is a photo album.
