The world’s first wind-powered cargo ship has set off on her maiden voyage, using her giant metal ‘wings’ to fly through the ocean.
The WindWings have been fitted onto Mitsubishi-owned Pyxis Ocean — chartered by Cargill — and was designed by a team of British Olympic sailors.
It’s been built by Yara Marine Tech, and the WindWings are expected to save up to 30 percent of shipping fuel on average.
What an incredible leap towards greener shipping! ️⛵ The image of the world’s first wind-powered cargo ship soaring through the ocean with its metal ‘wings’ is truly mesmerizing. ✈️ It’s thrilling to think that this innovative technology, developed by a team of British Olympic sailors, could potentially save up to 30% of shipping fuel. The idea of combining wind power with low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels is a promising glimpse into a more sustainable future for maritime transportation. Kudos to the pioneers behind this groundbreaking project! #WindPower #InnovationInShipping #SailingTowardsSustainability
