Zero-Omission Vessel To Be Built In Belfast
A zero-omissions automated sailing vessel will be built in Belfast, a project led by Olympic gold medallist Iain Percy.
The 45-metre catamaran will require no fossil fuels, offer unlimited range and have the potential to travel at 50 knots, with a cruising speed of 30 knots in any conditions, including when there is no wind.
