Commercial wind propulsion solutions: Putting the 'sail' back into sailing

Abstract

We have seen a wind change in the industry over the last 4-5 years where it comes to shipping efficiency and this has gone hand in hand with a steady growth in commercial wind propulsion projects. This has however in turn been matched by a very cautious and gradual change in the perceptions over wind propulsion in the industry, nonetheless momentum has been building and this presentation will place that change into perspective, focusing on the change drivers, the barriers to that and how the wind propulsion sector is tackling those and examples of new build and retrofit projects to watch.
