A2O Manufacturing and KS Composites partner with GT Wings in developing the "innovative" wind propulsion system called AirWing. Up to 30% less fuel and carbon emissions are expected with the technology. The technique is intended to save ship owners a large amount of money while assisting them in meeting strict environmental laws.
The installation of wind propulsion technology for commercial shipping is expected to advance significantly with the first installation planned for a Carisbrooke Shipping vessel in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Both newbuild and retrofit applications can benefit from this compact wingsail. As per the company, it is intended to assist shipowners in adhering to the strict environmental rules set by the EU and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and simultaneously attain "significant" fuel savings.
By delivering large cost reductions, the system is intended to assist maritime businesses in complying with strict environmental laws.
Joining forces with A2OM & KS Composites is a thrilling next step in AirWing's certification process. Their proficiency with composite materials is a wonderful fit with our heritage of superior engineering and design. George Thompson, the founder and CEO of GT Wings, stated, "We look forward to a long-term partnership that can significantly impact the decarbonisation of the global shipping fleet."
Working on this ground-breaking project with A2OM & GT Wings makes us very happy. We are pleased that our knowledge and resources will be vital to the development of the AirWing, which is a noteworthy technical breakthrough in wind power. Jamie Smith, Managing Director of KS Composites, said, "This partnership demonstrates our commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility."
GT expects a sizable amount of commercial interest following performance confirmation. With LOIs in place for the delivery of several units in 2025, the partners aspire for a long-term partnership.
