With automatic drive systems, ships use 40% less fuel

bound4blue supplies automatic wind-assisted propulsion systems (wingsails) that utilise renewable energy for all ship owners and operators who want to reduce their fuel costs and pollutant emissions and save up to 40% of fuel consumption. The shipping industry is a massive polluter and is faced with costly emission reduction regulations that present it with a double challenge: Fuel consumption accounts for between 30 and 60% of a ship's operating costs, depending on fuel costs and ship type and size, and shipping is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions as well as nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulphur oxide (SOx) and particulate matter (PM10) emissions, which are much more harmful to ecosystems and human life (acid rain, greenhouse effect, cardiovascular diseases, etc.).

Two complementary propulsion systems have been developed that are fully automatic and fully adjustable to adapt to any wind situation. They enable fuel savings of up to 40 %. One of them can be completely folded down onto the ship's deck. These systems are designed as additional propulsion for maritime transport and generate effective thrust from the available wind, an affordable and clean source of energy.
