Ecological feeder
Article Abstract:
An environmentally friendly container ship called Ecoship may eventually provide the much needed environment and economic gains for shipowners. Designed by Siowalls, Volvo Penta and Kockum of Sweden, the ship delivers a hull resistance that is 10% lower than conventional ones due to its aerodynamic structure. It also lowers gas emissions by using diesel electric propulsion and multi-generator systems.
