The incredible cargo vessel with a hull so huge it acts as a SAIL: Innovative design could reduce fuel needed by half
A Norwegian firm designed the vessel, which could achieve fuel savings of 60 per cent while reducing emissions by 80 per cent
The Vindskip by Lade AS, uses a hull designed to act as a giant airfoil, which helps harness a force akin to lift to pull the ship along
The firm says the design could eventually be used for giant cruise ships
