Beluga SkySails completes maiden voyage

The sails weren’t deployed until midway in the voyage, and still saved 10-15% in fuel costs. As crews gain experience, another 5-10% savings is expected.
All of which means less carbon emissions too. Sometimes cleantech can mean using old technology in unexpected new ways.
