Pyxis Ocean, owned by the
Japanese Mitsubishi Corporation and rented by the US
Cargill, resumed navigation after that, in a shipyard
Chinese of the COSCO group, on the bulk carrier were installed
two WindWings sails designed by the British BAR Technologies and the

from the ship, or about 1.5 million tons of fuel on a
average route travelled by
the Pyxis Ocean, equal to about one
