The eventual goal is full decarbonisation and it will likely require a range of solutions to make this happen, notes Kim Diederichsen, CEO, Anemoi.

Amid increasing interest in wind propulsion as an attractive solution to decarbonization, French company Zéphyr & Borée announced a new project to develop the world’s first sailing containership.

BAR Technologies and Yara Marine Technologies will design and implement wind-assisted propulsion for the global shipping industry.

International Windship Association launched an initiative in an effort to deliver credible, robust and commercially attractive wind solutions to the shipping market.

Bureau Veritas (BV) released new-generation classification rules for wind propulsion systems. These rules aim to help support the development of zero carbon propulsion options for modern ships.

After extensive testing conducted at the Wolfson Unit of the University of Southampton, it has been confirmed that an appropriately rigged commercial vessel could achieve savings of fuel and reduce emissions by at least 30% per year.

French shipbuilder Chantiers de l’Atlantique announced the upcoming installation of a first-of-its-kind model for sailing propulsion adapted to large ships. This announcement was made during an e-event broadcasted live from the MSC Virtuosa in Saint-Nazaire.

The International Windship Association launched a new initiative to accelerate shipping decarbonisation. A new campaign called the ‘Decade of Wind Propulsion’, aim to accelerate the adoption of hybrid alternative propulsion methods, blending wind, alternative fuels and energy efficiency measures.

In an effort to accelerate the adoption of hybrid alternative propulsion methods, blending wind, alternative fuels and energy efficiency measures, International Windship Association launched a campaign.

Dutch cargo company EcoClipper has released a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), which examines the impact of their proposed sailing vessel in the transport industry. The study showed that the environmental and human health impact of the EcoClipper500 is significantly lower than conventional shipping methods.
