Lean Marine and Smart Green Shipping Hosts Virtual Seminar on Maximizing Wind-Assisted Propulsion
GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN – Since coming under increasing pressure to decarbonize, by both its international regulator and its climate-conscious customers, the international shipping industry has started seriously considering, and making investments in, technology that enables the exploitation of clean and free renewable wind energy.
However, for any vessel using several power sources, optimization of how they are combined will be crucial. To maintain the optimal speed or power and minimize energy waste, the complete integration between existing conventional and wind-assisted propulsion system is required in order to avoid the addition of excessive propulsion power.
