Our Advanced Wind Propulsion Systems reduce emissions and future-proof your fleet
OceanWings’ mission is to provide the Shipping Industry with the most efficient Wind Assisted Propulsion Systems (WAPS), enabling them to reduce emissions, lower operational costs, and protect the long-term value of their investments.
By making innovative technology accessible, OceanWings aims to become a global leader in the decarbonization of Shipping, helping steer the industry towards wind energy as the most scalable and ready solution for a sustainable future.
Projected Growth of Emissions: A real Risk for the Shipping Industry
Humanity is becoming increasingly aware of the climate consequences of burning fossil fuels and faces urgent deadlines to reduce emissions. Shipping needs renewable energy and technology to curb emissions and fight climate change.
Shipping plays a critical role in the global economy, utilizing oceans to transport the vast majority of goods worldwide. These activities are crucial for maintaining stable international relations. Without decisive action, the environmental impact of shipping could escalate significantly:
It’s too late to reimagine a global economy that doesn’t rely on a large cargo fleet. Shipowners now face the urgent challenge of decarbonizing their fleets, though no single solution exists to fully solve the issue. The industry must combine renewable energy solutions, digital technologies, and smart regulations to tackle this problem.

Harnessing Wind Power and Revolutionizing Shipping with OceanWings
Wind is freely available across all oceans and in unlimited quantities. This made it the primary propulsion source for ships for over 2500 years until the emergence of fossil fuels. Additionally, wind is the only energy source for which Shipping is not competing with any other industry.
Wind Assisted Propulsion Systems (WAPS) enable hybrid vessels to utilize wind as part of their propulsive power, offering proven savings and scalability.
OceanWings contributes to the decarbonation of Shipping by allowing Shipowners today to harness the power of wind in complete safety. By adopting OceanWings, the Shipping Industry can not only lower its CO₂ emissions, but also reduce operating costs, meet increasingly strict regulations, and alter both the perception and reality of the industry.
As a leader in the Wind Assisted Propulsion market, OceanWings also contributes to the decarbonation of Shipping by acting as a thought-leader to influence regulation, policy and the perception by the public opinion.
