Hyperloop Transport Technologies (HyperloopTT) has unveiled HyperPort, a high-speed cargo and freight solution which it says is “capable of increasing capacity and efficiency while decreasing pollution and congestion at ports worldwide”.

Developed in partnership with terminal operator Hamburger Hafen und Logistik (HHLA), in Germany, the system will now enter certification design review.

The next step for HyperPort will be a virtual reality demonstration to be presented at the ITS World Congress, the largest mobility exhibition in the world, which takes place in Hamburg in October.

A hyperloop is a proposed new mode of passenger and freight transport, travelling at speeds of up to 1 220 km/h.

At its core, a hyperloop system is about removing the two things that slow down regular vehicles, namely friction and air resistance.

It is, therefore, described as a sealed tube or system of tubes with low air pressure –located above ground or underground – through which a pod may travel substantially free of air resistance or friction. Hyperloops normally include magnetic levitation technology, much like the systems used in advanced high-speed rail projects in Japan.

HyperloopTT says the HyperPort system is a plug-and-play solution for port operators, capable of transporting containerised cargo hundreds of kilometres in minutes.

“The system can move 2 800 containers a day in an enclosed operating environment that eliminates at-grade crossings to increase reliability, efficiency and worker safety,” says the company.

“HyperPort capsules can sustainably transport two 20-foot standard or high-cube containers, or one 40- or 45-foot container at airplane speeds.”

this shit so so impractical. it was bonkers for passengers and it is bonkers for cargo.

it's ever so slightly less bonkers for cargo, because that doesn't need a life support system, and it needs lower safety standards. If cargo gets hyper-smashed that's less problematic than If they turn people into hypermush. It's probably ok to accelerate cargo at 3g. But if they accelerate people with more than 1g it becomes very unhyper and uncomfortable.

I'm not physicist but something tell me accelerating cargo pod that contains as much freight as traditional train would be both dangerous and inefficient. Like, how would one even design it? fucking mountain tunnel sized railgun that shoots freights at destination? I guess it doubles as BFG which is cool

*pod that is capable of shipping as much

I dont understand it either. How is this more effective than having moar cranes to load and unload ships?
Where are these crates going?
Its must middle managment, totally superfluous
