UK tech provider Bar Technologies has joined forces with Finnish ship design and engineering firm Deltamarin to incorporate wind propulsion on a new build design, Aframax/LRII. 

The International Windship Association has launched a survey for members of the ship owning, ship operating and regulatory community to ascertain current levels of awareness around, and perceptions of, wind propulsion technology and the role it plays in the industry meeting IMO GHG Strategy targets by 2040 and beyond.

Global trade relies on ships powered by dirty fuel. To meet climate deadlines, some are proposing a return to wind power.

Wind-assist stands on the cusp of significant development in the maritime industry in coming years as the benefits of technological progress gain momentum.

Airseas, the maritime unit of France's Airbus, has developed a gigantic, automated kite called Seawing, which essentially tows a ship.

There were eight wind propulsion installations on large commercial ships in 2022, and this figure is scheduled to jump to 24 this year.

The number of wind-installed vessels is set to double in the next twelve months, according to estimates from IWSA.
