Published maximum internal height is 3 m for the largest ship; excavation scenarios add geometry/access/support uncertainty. Mass uses an assumed Swedish hard-rock density of 2.65 t/m³. · Reviewed mass-handling modelLength alone is insufficient; a costable tunnel also needs width, height or cross-sectional area.

Largest storage ship is 60 × 20 m = 1200 m² / 12,917 ft²; two smaller ships are each reported at roughly half that size, giving 2400 m² / 25,833 ft² total.

Scope lock. Functional recreation of the documented facility in Sweden using current construction methods and 2026 prices, preserving the documented capacity, protection, autonomy and redundancy. Ex VAT; excluding land, financing, remediation, classified mission equipment and data-centre hardware. The article provides useful storage-cavern geometry: a little over 30 m shock tunnel; one main 60 m by about 20 m chamber with maximum height about 3 m; and two smaller chambers each roughly half the main size, implying about 2,400 m² / 25,833 ft² of chamber…
