Salmon Tanker

To ensure that farm-raised salmon remain at peak of their freshness (read: still swimming) for whole trip to back to shore for processing, Rolls-Royce is building the world's largest mobile aquarium/meat wagon.

It has a roughly 9,800 cubic foot (3,000 cubic meter) carrying capacity, enough to pack in 450 tons of salmon into a trio of closed circuit, water-recirculating, lice-filtering holding tanks. Loading and unloading the fish is accomplished by hoovering them en mass out of their off-shore pens through 2-foot wide plastic tubes, then spewing them back out once the ship reaches shore.
