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.

compete with what? the fact that with fuel, the trip can save three weeks?

fuel. it’s what’s for trading.
