Neoline said that construction of the Neoliner Origin, an innovative sail-powered ro-ro cargo ship, is complete.
Built at the RMK Marine shipyard in Türkiye, the vessel has completed sea trials and sails under the French flag.
The 136 m-long vessel is powered by two 76 m solid sail carbon masts with retractable leeboards. Its cargo capacity is 1,200 linear metres (265 teu), with a maximum weight of 5,300 tonnes of cargo. It is suitable for rolling cargo, containers and oversized freight. Neoline said greenhouse gas emissions reductions from the vessel will be 80 percent lower in comparison to a conventional ship of similar size.
