A simple calculation shows 4000h = about 24 weeks sailing time + however long is spent without the engines running (in port, refuelling etc).
The Maersk trial started in July 2016. It ended prematurely in March 2017 by which time 1370 hours out of the 4000 required had been logged. At that rate it would have taken around 2 years to complete the trial but, as Jackg says, with open ocean routes things should go quicker this time.
Or am I missing something?
