Maersk, working with the British wind propulsion company Anemoi, plans to test the feasibility of wind-assisted propulsion on one of its smaller conta...
I don’t think it really outputs power, it operates more like a sail. It looks like a cylinder on the front of the ship. It says it can function in winds at or below 80mph.
You’re right it’s supposed to work like a sail. I’m very sceptical because it says it can save up to 30% fuel. No chance any sail with that footprint can save that much fuel. At least with electrical generators you can benefit from wind in any direction at any time, even when anchored.
