Wind Propulsion Showroom Shanghai

The event is specifically directed towards shipyards and ship owners who want to learn more about wind-assistance technology.

Experts from RISE will present the latest regarding wind-powered ships, discuss how wind propulsion influences ship design and operation, and how it can help to improve fuel efficiency, EEXI ratings and CII values. 

Four leading providers of wind propulsion technologies will present their systems and be available for questions.
