Volvos, Volvos everywhere

 

from  CNN
"Oceanbird might look like a ship of the future, but it harks back to ancient maritime history -- because it's powered by the wind.
"The transatlantic car carrier is being designed by Wallenius Marine, a Swedish shipbuilder, with support from the Swedish government and several research institutions.
"With capacity for 7,000 vehicles, the 650 foot-long vessel is a similar size to conventional car carriers, but it will look radically different. The ship's hull is topped by five telescopic "wing sails," each 260 feet tall. Capable of rotating 360 degrees without touching each other, the sails can be retracted to 195 feet in order to clear bridges or withstand rough weather."

  1. Takes inconvenience for giving all offices under one rooftop: Cr evacuation sellers should take all the torment for getting the papers finished. With regards to towing, they ought to have an individual towing office.
