Shipping is looking to wind-assisted propulsion to cut emissions and fuel costs.   Today, together with 14 leading partners, we are proud to launch AWESOME — a EU-backed initiative bringing together maritime and technology partners to accelerate the adoption of wind-assisted propulsion.   The project will turn promising technology into trusted, scalable solutions — combining simulation, onboard systems, automation and real-world performance data. Two full-scale demonstrators will anchor the project: a retrofit of the chemical tanker Bow Olympus and a newbuild, Neoliner Origin.   Why this matters: 🔹 Shipowners need reliable data  🔹 They need clear decision support, not complexity 🔹 And they need solutions that work in real operations, not just on paper Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eafg22MD
