Sustainable shipping: the future of smart wind propulsion
Is the industry ready for a green shipping revolution?
The shipping industry is on the cusp of a green revolution — driven by the advancement of wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP) technology that helps to reduce fuel consumption, cut CO2 emissions, and steer the shipping industry towards a more sustainable future.
You won’t want to miss this expert panel discussion for a timely look at current industry trends shaping the future of sustainable shipping.
What we’ll cover:
- Current and evolving regulations driving the adoption of WASP technology
- How shipping companies can significantly enhance operational efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and environmental impact, and comply with mounting regulations
- How BAR Technologies is advancing the industry through WindWings innovation combining wind propulsion with route optimization, to increase the fuel efficiency of vessels on average of 1.5 tonnes/wing/day
- Insights from MARIN about some of their recent research projects for WASP ship performance optimization
- How smart wind sensing technology can provide a significant step towards more efficient wind-assisted ship propulsion
This panel discussion is ideal for organizations active in the marine wind propulsion sector such as:
- Wind propulsion technology providers
- Shipping companies
- Ship design
- Shipyards
- Equipment development
- Marine/naval research institutes
- Classification companies
