Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP) project - an EU Interreg North Sea Europe program (ERDF) installing, monitoring & evaluating 5 ships with wind-assist tech
This article asks some of the key questions regarding wind propulsion this year - Is wind power for shipping: nice to have or a must? Will 2023-24 prove to be a breakout year for wind propulsion? Is this all hype or is there real…https://t.co/wyFhL2xYoh https://t.co/noF0Npyvdg
Christiaan De Beukelaer is a man after my own heart. In this article he tackles some of the lingering myths out there around wind propulsion and its potential. Some more myth-busting is in the pipeline, watch this space!

This article highlights that Rotor sails are currently the most installed wind propulsion device, but that other technology types will be growing in 2023 too. There are 24 vessels that are slated for installation this year (with so…https://t.co/tZZBbboA42 https://t.co/zNOucPKiKn
The number of wind-installed vessels is set to double in the next twelve months, according to estimates from the International Windship Association

We are proud to say that a number if our @NorthSeaRegion projects are doing amazing things on this front! To name just 2. Our @WindWasp project is using the power of the wind for greener travel. And our #ZEMPorts project is helping to move ships to #hydrogen engines.

Fantastic to already surpass this one million dwt milestone for large commercial vessels with installed wind propulsion systems on the #worldmaritimeday and to also announce we are well on the way to hitting three million dwt by the end of 2023.
