Wind Assisted Propulsion for Fuel Cost & Emission Cut

Capt. John

Wind propulsion is gaining attraction again by IMO’s decarbonization plans, says an article published in DNV GL website.

Advanced aerodynamics science in combination with computer technology has produced a number of technologies that do not require large crews and have demonstrated significant potential.

The basic principle

The basic principle used by all the sail types is that the wind hits the leading edge of the sail, splitting into two separate flows which are redirected and travel towards the...
