Dragetrukket fragtskib sejler på Atlanten

Verdens første fragtskib, der hjælpes på vej af en kæmpestor computerstyret drage, er nu på vej over Atlanten fra Tyskland til Venezuela. Dragen forventes at spare 20 procent af det daglige brændstofforbrug.

"I løbet af de næste par måneder kan vi langt om længe bevise, at vores teknologi virker i praksis og giver en markant reduktion af brændstofforbrug og udledninger", siger direktøren for den tyske producent Skysails, Stephan Wrage,

Det delvist dragetrukne fragtskib MS Beluga Skysails forlod tirsdag Bremen, og er nu på vej over Atlanten fra Tyskland til Venezuela. Turen skal demonstrere for omverdenen, at teknologien bag det delvist dragetrukne fragtskib fungerer. Skysails håber på, at den computerstyrede drage på 160 kvadratmeter vil skære helt op til tyve procent af det daglige brændstofforbrug og dermed også reducere CO2-udledningen. Det skriver ing.dk.

Dragen hænger i en højde på 100-300 meter over havoverfladen, hvor vindene er kraftigere og mere stabile. Dragen kan bruges ved vindhastigheder på mellem 12 og 74 kilometer i timen.
