The vessels from the Oceanbird concept will be able to reduce emissions by 90%, aiming for zero emission shipping. The first vessel will be a cargo ship, but the concept can be applied to ships of all types. 200 metres long and 40 metres wide, the cargo vessel will be able to cross the Atlantic in 12 days, instead of 8 days. The wing sails are all of 80 metres tall, giving the ship a height above water line of approx 100 metres, but thanks to a telescopic construction they can be lowered, resulting in a vessel height above water line of approx 50 metres. This comes in handy when passing under bridges or if the surface area of the wing sails needs to be reduced due to strong winds. #sustainableshipping #oceanbird #walleniusmarine #zeroemissions
