BV publishes wind propulsion technology report - Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV), a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification (TIC), today announced the publication of their latest technology report, Wind Propulsion Technology Report, which details the technology systems that are available, their viability, as well as the various challenges that inhibit the adoption of wind propulsion systems at scale. The report underscores the significant growth potential within the sector and the important role that wind propulsion technologies will play in the shipping industry’s decarbonization transition. With safety measures representing a clear concern for widespread adoption of the technology, BV already leads the space in developing... - https://lnkd.in/diq3WYzP

This is an interesting read about how extra-long wind turbine blades are transported. You might enjoy this short article as I did.

With wind power gaining momentum, significant orders are being placed for wind propulsion systems by major shipping companies. The International Windship Association (IWSA) has highlighted a growing acceptance and market maturity of these systems, which can reduce fuel costs and emissions by 5-20%. Increasing installations and regulatory support are helping to drive this shift, indicating a promising future for wind-assisted shipping. While it’s encouraging to see many shipowners starting secure efficiency improvements, it is also time to take efficiency technology adoption to the next level – to start analysing real-world performance data in-depth, assessing technologies in combination, and identifying fleet-wide trends. Houlder can help you determine what technology is right for which vessels. It is essential to have the right expertise from the outset of a project to develop a holistic understanding of the processes and equipment necessary, thereby optimising costs and efficiency.
