WHAT DOES DRACONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dracone Barge

A Dracone Barge is a large flexible watertight tube intended to carry a liquid cargo while towed mostly-submerged behind a ship. One large current example of the type has a capacity of 935 cubic metres while weighing only 6.5 tonnes empty. The Dracone Barge was invented in 1956 by Professor William Hawthorne as a new type of oil tanker. The intent was to create an improved transport technology: the long tube can be pulled by a lower powered vessel than the equivalent tanker, the cargo can be handed off at the destination very quickly, and incurs no drag cost when empty, as compared to the similar unladen to laden drag of the rigid-hulled tanker of equivalent capacity. The common modern use is in the clean-up of petroleum spills or pollution slicks, where any small and manouevrable vessel with pumping gear mounted on it can gather up a much larger volume of liquid than it can carry by pumping it promptly back over the side into a tanker or Dracone Barge. A secondary, but related use, is the offloading of bilgewater from large ships that must be treated and not dumped directly into the sea.
