The Scandinavian design firm Wallenius Wilhelmsen has designed an environmentally friendly, zero-emissions cargo ship that combines solar, wind and wave power, and also uses hydrogen. It's actually a sail boat, and the "sails" are covered by solar panels. Here's the unexpected part: The ship is designed to carry 160,000 cars a year. (It seems to me that a regular cargo ship that sank with a hull full of cars would do more for the environment than this thing successfully making its deliveries.)

Comments:

For your information, Wallenius Wilhelmsen is NOT a "scandinavian design firm", rather the world's largest logistic provider for the trasportation of vehicles. They operate a fleet in excess of 53 car carriers and RoRo vessels. Contrary to many shipping concerns, Wallenius Wilhelmsen believe and are very active in the conservation of the Oceans in particular and of Nature in general.
