"The Pyxis Ocean from the Mitsubishi Corporation has been retrofitted with two “WindWings”... 123 feet (37.5 meters) high, the sails have been estimated to allow for up to 30% fuel savings...one-and-a-half tonnes [about 1.65 tons] of fuel per day...four wings on a vessel, that's six tonnes [about 6.6 tons] of fuel saved, that's 20 tonnes [about 22 tons] of CO2 saved - per day." [In sail-assist mode, speed increased to 16 knots.]
