Riktigt intressant koncept! Både som en investerare och framtidsoptimist hoppas jag att det här blir den nästa stora eran av transport :)

Vi också =)

Greetings from Peru! Congratulations for innovate with your new wing design! I love that concept, As a future architect, you inspire me to design similar models for use in the south Pacific Ocean. And why not, to join Oceanbird!

Such important developments - hope this translates into yet further gains in the future, 1300 barrels per sail is not "much" in the greater picture.

That is for one sail on a vessel that is not specially designed for wind powered shipping. The whole concept - with wing sails, special designed hull and speed/route recommendations - can reduce up to 90 % of all emissions.

@@oceanbird4970 thank you for clarifying - we can't get there fast enough. :-)

Congratulations on the concept! Is there any loss of storage capacity compared to the current solutions? How important is storage for the final buyer? Thank you for your time.

Solar, wind gens?

[@WindThrusters]

Yes but can it sail directly into the wind?
