Guys
Sorry the link does not work, will try and correct it.
Basically it is an EU funded project looking at the feasibility of fitting air bags into ships hulls double) so that in the event of a collision or grounding resulting in a breach of the hull these air bags would inflate automatically to keep the ship upright and also prevent any pollution.
