The innovative SkySails Propulsion System uses wind energy to reduce fuel costs and emission levels.
Wind is the cheapest, most powerful and greenest source of energy on the high seas. SkySails’ Propulsion Systems are installed on cargo vessels, fishing trawlers and leisure yachts and make use of the vast potential of these high-altitude winds. With this modern technology, next to lower fuel consumption, the emission levels of international cargo transport are significantly reduced.
The towing kite is a huge kite (e.g. 160m2) that will be unfold and launched when the vessel is leaving shore. It will climb to several hundred meters high, where the strongest winds can be found. The kite will be recovered once the vessel approaches the coastline again. > Read the SkySails customer case
