Wind Propulsion Report
Oct. 23 2024
The report explores the potential of wind propulsion systems in shipping as a way to cut fuel consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind systems like rotor sails, wingsails, suction wings, sailing rigs, and kites can be integrated into new and existing ships, with over 105 installations worldwide by mid-2024.
Despite their promise, adoption faces hurdles such as high initial costs, regulatory challenges, and technical complexities. The report emphasizes the importance of international regulations and collaboration among stakeholders to facilitate this transition.
