Based on these latest trials, Airseas is now able to project initial results of 16% fuel and emissions reductions, in line with our broader development roadmap. The performance will be optimized with upcoming onshore trials, coupled with new sea trials on a Capesize vessel owned by their client “K” line (Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd), reports LinkedIn.
Reducing emissions
After seven years of development, seeing the kite flying in “figures of 8” over the Atlantic Ocean, in complete autonomy, to deliver the first tonnes of traction, is a huge satisfaction, and a demonstration of how aerospace expertise allowed us to pass major technological challenges.
“This latest milestone is yet another demonstration of our steady progress in bringing to life an entirely new technology that will play a vital role in shipping’s decarbonization. The maritime industry will need every available solution on the road to net zero, and we aim to enable a greater number of shipowners to take control of their emissions by harnessing the free and widely available energy of the wind. We look forward to the next stages of the Seawing development, focused on enhancing performance as we progress towards larger-scale industrialization.” Said Vincent Bernatets, CEO and Co-Founder.
