Inspired by the historic Finnish trading schooner Ingrid of the Aland Islands, the firm Sailcargo Inc says it designed the vessel named Ceiba “to be the first of its kind in the world.” It will rely mostly on wind power with two auxiliary electric engines for maneuvering in ports and low winds.
The vessel is being built in Punta Morales, a poor fishing community 125 kilometers west of Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose. Ceiba will be put into operation in 2022 on routes between Canada, Ecuador and Hawaii, and the firm plans to recover over six years the private investment of $4.2 million needed for the project.

The 50% unemployed/underemployed in Costa Rica don’t give a 💩 about this. And the other 50% who are getting ready to take it up the butt on the IMF loan won’t care either. This is a political stunt...
