Title:New Cargo Ship Cuts Fuel Use With A Kite-Like Sail
URL:http://www.greenrep.net
Category:Science and Technology: Alternative Energy
Description:Mounted on the bow of the ship, the towing kite system is fully automated to deploy the kite in favorable winds and to recover the kite when the winds die down. The SkySails system includes a routing system that combines weather forecasting into a decision-making model to determine the optimal route for the ship to follow. According to Beluga Shipping GmbH, the SkySails system is the only convenient way to employ wind power in a modern cargo ship
