| The City of St. Petersburg, which carries 2000 automobiles, is owned by Japanese auto maker Nissan. Thanks to its unusual design, which features a semispherical prow that's claimed to reduce wind resistance by up to 50 percent compared to a conventional vessel, the City of St. Petersburg is expected to cut annual fuel usage by 800 tons. |
It has been a rather windy day here in Øresund. But the vehicle carrier City of St. Petersburg - on its way from St. Petersburg to Newcastle - did not have any problems with the rough sea this afternoon. Note the futuristic design of the ship, built by Kyokuyo Shipbuilding & Iron Works, Shimonoseki, Japan in 2010.
