POWERFUL - UNLIMITED - FREE Wind is the cheapest, most powerful, and greenest source of energy on
the high seas. Now, with SkySails, modern cargo ships can use the wind as a source of power – not only to
lower fuel costs, but significantly reduce emission levels as well. The worldwide patented SkySails propulsion
system consists of three main components: a towing kite with rope, a launch and recovery system, and a con-
trol system for automated operation. SkySails can be installed effortlessly as an auxiliary propulsion system on
both new builds and existing vessels. The SkySails propulsion system is efficient, safe, and easy to use – and
the fact that wind is cheaper than oil makes
SkySails one of world's most attractive tech-
nologies for simultaneously reducing operat-
ing costs and emissions. Comment:
Installing these will be enough to keep
more than one shipyard busy around the
world.
