On the pathway to ever greener logistics, an eco-friendly cargo ship retrofitted with WindWings tech has set sail. Is this maiden voyage signaling the future of sustainable ocean transport?
The ship, chartered by food giant Cargill, has been equipped with WindWings designed by UK's BAR Technologies.
Key Data:
Harnessing Wind: Two foldable sails, standing a majestic 123 feet above deck, enable the ship to utilize wind for propulsion, potentially reducing fossil fuel dependency by up to 20%.
