Thordon Bearings is now a part of the organisations who have signed up as a full associate member of the International Windship Association (IWSA), the organisation which aims to facilitate and promote the economic and environmental advantages of wind propulsion in the shipping industry. Maritime journal further reports on this joint venture by Thordon Bearing.
IWSA membership base
With a membership base of over 40 companies and organisations that include shipowners, naval architects, research institutes, environmental groups and original equipment manufacturers, their association with Thordon Bearing seems to provide a green solution to shipping.
Positive note from IWSA
IWSA Secretary, Gavin Allwright, said: “We are delighted to welcome Thordon Bearings into the IWSA family. We share Thordon’s drive to bring technology solutions to the industry that make both environmental and commercial sense.”
Strategic partnership with Thordon
Gavin also feels that, “As an association it is our stated goal to work with companies and groups that have this at the heart of their business model. Thordon Bearings’ seawater lubrication systems are a natural choice for any ultra-low emissions vessel, totally eliminating oil emissions to water, while wind propulsion reduces emissions to air. We look forward to working with Thordon to continue to bring that message to the industry – what works for the planet, works for your bottom line.”
