WIND-ASSISTED PROPULSION SYSTEM

WIND-ASSISTED PROPULSION SYSTEM

Detailed introduction

Wind-assisted propulsion systems (WAPS) are devices installed on ship decks that harness wind energy at sea to generate auxiliary thrust. By providing additional power to the vessel, they reduce the main engine's workload, thereby lowering fuel consumption while maintaining the same sailing speed. Rotor Sail
