"Aero-Hydrodynamic Interactions for Wind Powered Ships:
Retrofit of a High-Speed Mega RoRo Vessel"
The findings support the viability of
wind propulsion retrofits for fast RoRo ships operating on consistent, wind-exposed trade routes.
The maritime industry is again facing up to the broad call for decarbonisation as the MEPC 82 wraps up, including key, laudible outcomes on CII -- a transparent accounting of the carbon intensity of ship’s operations.
This study was delivered at the 2024 Wind Propulsion Conference in London. It delves into the effectiveness of bilge and fin keels, exploring their impacts on the efficiency of wind-powered vessels.
Gust Alert is an innovative lidar-based wind measurement system designed specifically for wind-assisted ships. Our technology aims to enhance the safety, efficiency, and performance of wind propulsion systems.
