Decarbonization challenges at the centre of International Wind Propulsion Forum
A large number of wind propulsion projects are under development and increasingly coming to market, one that has been estimated by the EU at up to 10,700 installations by 2030 on bulkers, tankers and container ships, said Gavin Allwright, Secretary General of IWSA in his opening address at the International Wind Propulsion for Shipping forum.
The event, held in Copenhagen on 10 March, brought together a diverse group of technology providers, class, research organisations, shipowners and wind...

ClassNK joins International Windship Association
In line with an increased shift to environmentally-friendly solutions as a pathway to decarbonization, Japanese ClassNK announced it is joining the International Windship Association (IWSA), which is working to promote wind as a viable propulsion option for commercial vessels.
Over the last few years ClassNK has identified and supported the development of wind propulsion technologies as an important contribution to the mix of solutions for a greener shipping industry.
In September last year, the...

IWSA: Wind propulsion is an attractive solution toward decarbonization
While the voting procedure for the 2019 GREEN4SEA Awards is open, Mr. Gavin Allwright, Secretary General, International Windship Association, explains how direct wind propulsion can be a primary renewable energy propulsion solution for maritime industry. IWSA has been nominated in the ‘Initiative’ category for its pioneering projects which can deliver 5-20% and with potential up to 30% savings, picking up speed on the road to decarbonization. As explained, key industry stakeholders are planning...

Shipping is beginning to notice wind propulsion solutions
Lately the shipping industry has reached a wide consensus that it must decarbonize the sector. Especially ahead of the 2020 sulphur cap, the industry is trying to improve its environmental footprint. In this attempt, several companies are considering wind propulsion technology solutions.
Namely, the International Windship Association (IWSA) said that it has seen a significant change in interest and engagement in the industry. In fact, some wind technology solutions could provide 5, 10, or 20%...
