Looks like this only works for bulk haulage and wouldn’t be compatible with intermodal freight (shipping containers)
Why wouldn't it? Those sails are 37m tall. I found stacked containes to be at max stacked up to 25m.
At a guess, because the 25m of containers only leave you with 12m of sail sticking out of the top.
You can’t make the sail higher, as you’d just end up rolling the ship.
