This cargo sailing vessel arrived in Baltimore Thursday from the French territory of St. Pierre and Miquelon (off Newfoundland).
Quite something.
Apparently, the sailing tech can be adapted to fit other existing cargo vessels, if the larger shipping lines wanted to improve their fleet's efficiency.

This one has more details. One of the cool things is that it can be fitted to current vessels easily. I hope it's not just more greenwashing though.

Giant kites could pull ships across the ocean – and slash their carbon emissions | CNN https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/30/travel/airseas-giant-kites-ships-slash-carbon-emissions-scn-climate-spc/index.html

It doesn't give any figures as to how much fuel the ships save, but kinda cool regardless.
