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.
