Shipping's new old power

[bigbird]

Wind is the cheapest, most powerful, and greenest source of energy on the high seas.

Now, with SkySails, modern cargo ships can use the wind as a source of power – not only to lower fuel costs, but significantly reduce emission levels as well.



The worldwide patented SkySails propulsion system consists of three main components: a towing kite with rope, a launch and recovery system, and a control system for automated operation.

SkySails can be installed effortlessly as an auxiliary propulsion system on both new builds and existing vessels.



The SkySails propulsion system is efficient, safe, and easy to use – and the fact that wind is cheaper than oil makes SkySails one of world’s most attractive technologies for simultaneously reducing operating costs and emissions.
