Sky Sail Propulsion for Cargo Ships

Think large cargo ship with a parasail attached.  Only this sail can rise over 300 meters above the sea and reduce fuel consumption by 10-35%.    If they can average 20% fuel savings – that is roughly $1,600 every day.  SkySails is a new company that hopes to have more of these out in the ocean in the coming years.
