With the sails installed, the Pyxis Ocean’s voyage from China to Brazil is predicted to take six weeks. On a traditional voyage powered by fuel alone, the same journey can take anywhere between 20 and 40 days to compete.


Notice what they did there...........................

The question is why?

6 weeks vs 4 to 8 weeks.

It is strange writing.

How about, the voyage is expected to be about the same.....

I guess 6weeks is the max speed vs 4 weeks.
