Cargo ships move large amounts of goods across the sea. Adding a sail allows the ship to use wind power. This helps the ship burn less fuel and cut carbon emissions.

allows the ship to= 使船隻能夠做某件事

This new project is the latest in a small but growing number of cleaner cargo ships. More companies are turning back to wind power to help make ocean shipping cleaner.

turning back to= 重新採用過去使用過的方法或做法
