Vane sails are a new technology that has great potential for saving fuel and improving ship efficiency. As this technology develops, it is expected that weathervane sails will be used more and more widely.

Here are some specific examples of the use of weathervane sails on modern ships:

- Maersk has introduced a weathervane sail system on its container ships. This allowed the company to reduce fuel consumption by 12%.

- Wallenius Wilhelmsen has introduced a weathervane sail system on its cruise ships. This allowed the company to reduce fuel consumption by 15%.

- CargoTEC has introduced a weathervane sail system on its bulk carriers. This allowed the company to reduce fuel consumption by 10%.

These examples show that weathervaned sails are an effective way to save fuel and improve vessel efficiency.
