Rapid WAPS uptake driven by stricter emission regulations and industry innovation, DNV says
Norway, April 15 -- A surge in industry interest combined with systems builders and yards scaling up production and installation capacity, is set to accelerate growth in orders for wind-assisted propulsion systems (WAPS) in the coming years. In response to this trend, DNV's new whitepaper provides a detailed look at WAPS technologies, their onboard implementation, and potential fuel savings to help shipowners determine whether they are a viable business option for their vessels and operations.DNV's whitepaper explores the design and operational factors influencing WAPS fuel savings and provides steps for evaluating the technical feasibility of new systems, from concept to implementation. The paper includes two case studies in EU waters mode...
