SubsidieMeestersAdvanced sails to reduce environmental impact and OPEX of maritime transport
b4b's patented wingsail technology harnesses wind energy to reduce maritime fuel consumption by up to 30%, lowering costs and environmental impact while meeting IMO and EU regulations.
Projectdetails
Introduction
b4b has patented and developed a highly novel wingsail based on aeronautics. This innovative design utilizes wind as a renewable energy source for propulsion, achieving significant reductions in fuel consumption.
Benefits
The wingsail technology offers the following advantages:
- Reduces up to 30% of the fuel used in maritime transport, including:
- Merchant vessels
- Fishing vessels
- Passenger vessels
- Lowers operating costs for maritime operators.
- Decreases the environmental impact of the maritime industry.
- Complies with new International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulations.
- Aligns with the goals of the European Green Deal.
Product Variants
So far, the company has developed two patented types of wingsails:
-
Foldable Wingsail:
- More suitable for vessels with space and maneuverability restrictions.
-
Suction-based Wingsail (eSAIL):
- Suitable for vessels with no restrictions.
- More affordable for smaller vessels, such as fishing vessels.
