Wind-Powered Ships

Helping the Industry to set sail 

Wind propulsion and wind assistance for ships has great potential in resolving the unprecedented challenges that the shipping industry faces today. 

Modern wind propulsion systems have little in common with the canvas sails of old and range from “Flettner-rotors” over kites and suction sails to rigid sails that resemble vertical aircraft wings. All these systems are major investments and the decision to install them requires careful consideration of many complex questions.
