A Swedish Consortium, including Wallenius Marine, will launch its revolutionary new wind-powered car carrier design this Thursday.
The Swedish Transport Administration agreed funding for the project from 2019 through to 2022.
Accordingly, the car carrier called Oceanbird has been created by the KTH Centre for Naval Architecture, maritime tech developer SSPA and Wallenius Marine.
It is noted that the vessel will sail the Atlantic in about 12 days, in comparison to the usual car carrier which takes about seven to eight days.
