SHOFU MARU, the world's first cargo vessel (bulk carrier) with Wind Challenger (a hard sail wind power propulsion system) was delivered on October 7, 2022.
And we have interviewed the crew and pilots at the ports of call who actually operated SHOFU MARU! This video shows the VOICE of the pilots of Port of Newcastle.

The Wind Challenger was developed mainly by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. and Oshima Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., and uses a telescoping hard sail that harnesses wind power to propel the vessel. By installing the system, it is possible to reduce the amount of fuel used for operation, which is expected to reduce environmental impact and improve economic efficiency.
Once again casting a spotlight on the wind as clean and unlimited source of energy, MOL aims to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reviving sail vessels based on a whole new idea.
