An auxiliary engine will be used to navigate harbors and provide emergency power. [ 7 ] While the design is meant to be usable for different types of ships and even retrofitted to existing vessels, [ 7 ] the first vessel from the Oceanbird concept is planned to be a 200 m (660 ft) long roll-on/roll-off ship with a capacity of up to 7,000 cars.
The ship was built by the PIRIOU shipyard in Concarneau, France and outfitted in Giurgiu, Romania, [4] as the first of the company's own Phoenix class of sailing cargo ships. Beginning its maiden cargo voyage across the Atlantic in August 2024, the 81-meter (266 ft)-long ship was touted by the media as the world’s largest wind-powered cargo ship.
A windmill ship, wind energy conversion system ship or wind energy harvester ship propels itself by use of a wind turbine to drive a propeller. They use wind power [1] through a mechanical or electrical transmission to the propeller. Where transmission is electric, storage batteries may also be used to allow power generated at one time to be ...

Tailor-made. Shipping accounts for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and moves about 90% of the world’s goods. Earlier this year, the International Maritime Organization — the UN ...
Oceanbird is a wind-powered cargo ship concept, expected to cut emissions by 90%. The ship uses 80-meter-tall rigs instead of traditional sails and can cross the Atlantic Ocean in twelve days. The ...
She has the capacity for ten wind turbines at a time. The whole ship can be jacked up out of the sea on her six legs, to provide a stable platform when installing wind turbines. The jacking system uses hydraulics. [4] She can raise herself between 3 metres (10 ft) and 46 metres (151 ft) above the sea. [2]
The ship is equipped with four Oceanwings. Oceanwings are articulated and automated sails of 363m² each. [5] The cargo ship has a diesel engine and the wind-powered Oceanwings can cut fuel consumption of the engine in half. [6] The Canopée is considered a pioneer in the energy transition of maritime transport. [7]
