World’s 1st Hybrid Propulsion Commerical Cargo Ship Makes First U.S Port Callea
Canopee, the World’s First Hybrid Propulsion Commercial Cargo Ship, made its first U.S. port call at Florida’s Port Canaveral
Canopee transports components for the European Space Agency, including the European Service Module for NASA’s Artemis-III moon mission.
Equipped with four wing sails, the 400 ft long vessel showcases cutting-edge technology in hybrid propulsion.
Developed by AYRO, Canopee’s 120 ft tall sails adjust with the wind and can rotate 360 degrees for optimal performance.
The collapsible sails provide up to 30% savings on fuel consumption, making it a model for eco-friendly shipping.
Port Canaveral welcomed Canopee as it plays a crucial role in supporting NASA’s lunar missions.
Canopee’s main task is to transport Ariane 6 rocket components from European ports to French Guiana.
Canopee serves as a pioneering model for wind-assisted propulsion, leading the way for the next generation of sustainable cargo ships.
