For instance, if the ship slows from 25 knots to 23 knots, that means the ship takes 8.6% longer to get there. So the fuel savings of 19% may not be all that great when it takes another day or two burning fuel.

It is incredible area. The Kite system is not a good way. I have more interesting one. And an energy storage as I wrote before.

(Not that we don’t need innovation too!)
