A wind-powered cargo ship, with the ground-breaking new technology that will bring cutting edge wind propulsion to commercial shipping, has set out on its maiden voyage.
Mitsubishi Corporation's Pyxis Ocean, chartered by Cargill, left on its first journey from China last week.
The bulk carrier, sailing at a speed of 12.4 knots, is expected to dock at the Brazilian port of Paranagua on September 15.
The British-designed special wind-powered vessel is the first of its kind, using wind technology, chartering a new path to cut carbon emission from the maritime industry.
