This is from a couple of months ago:
Go with the wind! 🌬️
Our CMA CGM Marco Polo has been equipped with a new prototype of windshield that required 6 months of development and installationThe Purpose? Improve her aerodynamics, therefore reducing her fuel consumption and carbon footprint! 💨

How useful is it? gCaptain reports:
Use of “windshields” was pioneered by Japanese shipping line Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) which installed its first one on board the MOL Marvel in 2015. The company later confirmed a 2% average CO2 emissions reduction at a sailing speed of 17 knots.
I suppose every little bit counts, and it’s not tied to the fuel type, so I like that as well.
