Reducing fuel consumption in shipping with wind-solar retrofits

A European consortium is applying wind-solar hybrid and tilting wing technology as modular refits of in-service long-distance cargo vessels in an effort to reduce fuel consumption. A European team of researchers is developing modular wind-solar hybrid and tilting wing wind power technology to reduce fuel consumption of long-distance cargo vessels in a three-year project that is coordinated by Iceland-based Verkis. The Whisper project, short for Wind Energy Harvesting for Ship Propulsion Assistance and Power, aims to demonstrate the technical and financial viability of modular refits of in-service ...
