A Swedish design company is a wind-powered company that can reduce carbon emissions from maritime transport by 90 percent. Introduced a sailing cargo ship called “Oceanbird”.
200 meters long, 40 meters wide, 80 meters long sail height. The world’s largest sailing ship has a capacity of 7,000 cars.
However, in 2024, Oceanbird’s inter-ocean crossing will take 12 days.
UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO), by 2030, arising from international shipping. Has set a target to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40 percent.
At the beginning of this year, the organization that aims to improve human health by reducing air pollution. It introduced new rules aimed at the amount of sulfur released from shipping ships.
The Swedish vessel named Wallenius Marine, produced in this context, introduced the concept of a sailing cargo ship named Oceanbird.
In the statement made by the company, it was stated that the cargo ship can reduce the carbon emissions caused by sea transportation by up to 90 percent.
The ship’s developers noted that a transatlantic crossing of the vehicle would take about 12 days, only a few weeks longer than today’s fossil fuel-powered cargo ships.
The Stockholm-based company successfully completed sea trials of a 6-meter-long model before building the real cargo ship.
When completed, it will be the world’s largest sailing ship with a length of 200 meters and a width of 40 meters.
Oceanbird could bring big changes to the shipping industry and zero-emission transportation is possible using wind.
Wallenius Marine COO’s on Per Tunnel,
“We are proud to present our design that we have worked with for several years. We hope Oceanbird will replace future shipping vessels.Sea freight represents approximately 90 percent of all goods in global trade, but it also causes an increase in carbon emissions around the world. Therefore, making shipping sustainable is critical. Wind is the primary energy source for ocean transport.”
