MS Onego Deusto (christened Beluga SkySails) is a commercial container cargo ship.
It is the world's first ship partially powered by a computer-controlled kite rig,[2] called the SkySails system.
It consists of a kite similar to a huge paraglider of up to 160 square metres (1,700 sq ft) area.
Stephan Wrage, managing director of SkySails GmbH – which installed the kite – announced: "During the next few months we will finally be able to prove that our technology works in practice and significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions."
[2] This kite is connected to the ship by a cable, and controlled by an automatic pod of actuators to maximize the wind benefits.
