UNITECH SAVAGE V2.

 The commission consists in transforming the design, image and form of the general design of the vessel made by a nautical company for rescue works, construction, underwater installations and offshore reforms. This is the version 2 for the design of the vessel.

 The purpose of the assignment is to update the initial image of the ship, pracmatic but conventional, to a more innovative and groundbreaking design, reflecting the corporate brand of UNITECH, one of the most important international companies in marine and underwater constructions, related to the world of oil and gas extraction.

I attach a new article about the rescue operation that is planned in Norway regarding a WWII 70-year-old German submarine sunk with about 65,000 kilograms of mercury located in the wreck on the seabed off the island of Fedje in Hordaland.

Duran Blazquez Architecture_ Engineering have participated in the project, redesigning the rescue vessel planned by Unitech and partners in order to participate in the rescue mission.
The core of the battle is the mercury load, which is probably Norway's largest point source or so-called "hot spot" of pollutants.

"Mercury is one of the most dangerous environmental toxins and poses a threat to both human health and the environment", writes the government on its websites about the so-called mercury regulation. Norway has joined the Minamata Convention, which will ensure less use and less emissions of mercury to the environment. From 2020, it is no longer allowed to use mercury in products or in industrial processes.

 The submarine was loaded with metallic mercury. This is converted to methyl mercury when it comes into contact with carbon and organic material. It can thus be taken into various organisms in the sea and get into the food chain.

Eight such bottles, which were filled with mercury, were picked up from the wreck. But only one of them was whole and contained mercury. Photo: Coastal Administration)
