i guess every bit helps. ships can be big polluters so it’s encouraging to see this.

My deck gang would have those panels primed and painted in no time.

“The panels themselves are not attached to the ship directly, but are rather installed on the ship’s car-carrier,” WTF? This type ship is called a car carrier. The sentence makes no sense.

Isn’t this headline misleading? If the panels are connected to the 440 system they my be reducing the load on the generators, but in what way would they be assisting with the propulsion?
