With the shipping industry creating as much pollution as all the worlds road transport vehicles, the shipping industry is in serious need of cleanup. Lagging behind in legislative emission regulation the shipping industry is ripe for this improvement and technical innovation. Windship has evolved an aircraft wing-like propulsion system to take advantage of wind power in a modern and controllable way. Together with an efficient electrically driven propeller system, virtual zero emission operation is feasible. Deregallera has designed a multi megawatt drive system capable of very high efficiency and ultra reliable performance. Windship will explore numerous first mover opportunities to enable the complete ship propulsion system to be progressively applied to vessels up to the largest commercial tankers.
