Typically, Tractor Traverse will transport 250.000 litres of fuel along with heavy equipment, supported by high molecular weight polyethylene sheets. The fuel bladders in question are pillow style. BAS has an on-going requirement for this type of fuel bladder. Tractor traverse platform is capable of transporting a significant quantity of fuel in fuel bladders and science cargo, most of which is supported by high molecular weight polyethylene sheets. A significant benefit of this system is that this traverse system, can transport heavy individual components that cannot otherwise be deployed. It is likely that BAS will require 73 fuel bladders over a five-year period with the first 4 units being required before the end of August 2025 Deploying fuel bladders represents a significant saving over transporting fuel via air, also bladders represent a significant cost saving in terms of fuel efficiency during towing. These bladders being lighter than their stainless counterparts. Bladders must be available for BAS shipping arrangements commencing in Autumn (August) each year. Regarding possible environmental impact to storing and hauling fuel over the Antarctic continent a rigorous full-scale test must be carried out onany new unproven system by a third party at no expence to BAS.
