French company Airseas has developed the Seawing, a kite to help propel cargo ships, which it says could cut their carbon emissions by an average of 20%.
I’ve thought about something else. Instead of using huge heavy costly cargo ships, just put each package on a solar powered water drone and make thousands of them. Let them run on solar and control them by setting a GPS goal. Track them by satellite. Collect them when they get there. I can wait a week more.
Idk man. The largest container ships carry ~40k shipping containers. Do you really think we could make 40k-ish solar boats and unload them efficiently? I think a better solution would be to transition the ships away from fossil fuels.
