Keep bringing wind to shipowners and ship operators! And thank you for sharing his interview. I found particularly interesting two technical paragraphs that go to the heart of your sails: "The result was a breakthrough they christened the Turbosail. This was a vertical cylinder with aerodynamics similar to an airplane wing to create lift/force, and a shutter and fan system to draw air in for greater efficiency. In testing, the thrust coefficient produced was between three and four times that of Marconi sails, making it a hugely attractive, and economical, green propulsion solution. "This autonomous system, which unlike Flettners has few moving parts, leading to exceptionally low maintenance requirements, is simple, robust and highly efficient. With no need for crew input, it works to optimize power and reduce engine load, dramatically cutting vessel fuel consumption and GHG emissions." Charrier Bertrand.

Dive into the captivating interview as he shares his story behind the invention of suction sail technology. Four decades ago, Bertrand Charrier collaborated with Jacques Cousteau and Professor Lucien Malavard on pioneering the suction sail for the maritime industry. Back then, the timing for widespread adoption of wind power wasn't right. But today, he argues, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞. Joining bound4blue about two and a half years ago, Charrier brought his Turbosail technical expertise to empower our team. Leveraging this technology, we have transformed the concept into the innovative eSAIL®, tailored for both retrofitting and new builds across various industry segments.

#HotOffThePress - Wärtsilä will supply the electrical systems needed to convert two Scandlines ferries to a plug-in hybrid solution. The ferries operate on the Puttgarden, Germany – Rödby, Denmark route, and the conversion represents a key element in Scandlines’ target to achieve emission-free operations on the route by 2030. The company’s overall vision is to realise zero emissions on all operations by 2040. The project involves replacing an engine and existing systems with a new shore-charged electrical system, including a large energy storage system. This will allow electricity to contribute approximately 80 percent of the energy needed for each crossing. "We are excited to support Scandlines with their vision towards delivering environmentally sustainable transport options for the region. Ship electrification is one of the solutions for marine decarbonisation and as the world’s biggest conversion project of its kind, we can help Scandlines move closer to meeting their goal of making the route emission-free by 2030," comments Roger Holm, President of Wärtsilä Marine and Executive Vice President at Wärtsilä Corporation.
