We couldn't fully explain that 400kW number in the video, but our video says "average power" and it was based on a standard transpacific route. The 400kW already takes into account the times the Mirage is not being used, both for bad weather and time at port. Depending on the wind speed and direction we can provide a lot more than 400kW. Using 24 hrs/day we get an maximum install cost of 1.9 million!

Wish you luck!
So if 400kW average, on 21 day journey, we get 201,600 kWh which is 18,300 kg of bunker fuel, which costs approx. $11,000
If you are directly offsetting fuel consumption and helping shippers meet their efficiency goals, you have a break even at approximately $11,000 per Mirage per journey, or $523 per day.
Assuming 100% bookings, each Mirage has an annual revenue floor of $190,895
Sounds like you're in business!
