Swath Hull Smooth Sailing for Oil and Gas of NL!
Swath Hull design for Gas recovery white rose!
Dear misguided Elected officials
I couldn't believe your contemplating burning tires as a source of energy when we have unheard of amounts of natural gas off our shores?
If you must burn tires at least only do it in the short term until our natural gas can be brought ashore and converted into electricity for easier transport.
In case you haven't already read these reports here they are.

Suspended pipeline?
Suspended docking station helium ballons?
I would like to suggest using Swath hull design as a likely platform for oil and gas exploration and recovery especially for the Gas part. The Swath hull design has many benefits for this type of application. It is a canadian hull design, from 1938 when Frederick G Creed first designed the Swath Hull? We have a swath hull right now in our Canadian Coast Guard if you would like to hear testimonials or see one in action. Talk to the crew of the Frederick G Creed named in memorial of the hull designer.
Would also be an idea if you continue to insist on using ferries to cross the strait Jacket of Belle ISle, instead of going demanding the inevitable fixed link from Canada!

The American Navy is also experimenting with this hull design (Cats) for missile launching platforms.
I would also like to point out advancements in propulsion by highlighting the new propulsion of the new harbour tugs in Vancouver harbour. They are along the lines of twin jet propulsion controlled separately only they are the cork screw kind. This would also eliminate the need for cross thrusters. The learning curve for this new propulsion apparently is steep.
