As the shipping industry accelerates efforts to decarbonise, wind propulsion is emerging as a promising and complementary solution, offering fuel savings, GHG reductions, and compliance benefits. Wind-assisted technologies can significantly contribute to meeting new regulatory requirements – including the FuelEU Maritime regulation and the forthcoming IMO Marine Fuel Standard.

With wind-assist technology going mainstream, South Korea’s largest shipbuilding group has debuted its only sail system.
HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering, the holding company of HD Hyundai, has unveiled its Hi-Wing, a prototype which has gone through land trials, and will shortly be tested at sea on an MR tanker belonging to HMM, South Korea’s flagship line. Read more…
Article: Nor-Shipping: Wind-Assisted Propulsion is Finally Taking Off, Maritime Executive
Wind-assisted propulsion is having a moment in commercial shipping. On average, most systems on the market can reduce fuel consumption by about 10 percent for a tanker or bulker – or more, if the conditions on the route are right. Design maturity is increasing, along with economies of scale for manufacturing, bringing down capex and shortening payback times for the shipowner. It’s not just a matter of whether it’s the right thing to do; it is getting to the point where it makes economic sense, especially when factoring in carbon-pricing mechanisms like FuelEU Maritime and the IMO MEPC 83 fee structure… Read more…
Gavin Allwright, IWSA Secretary General was honoured to be the Master of Ceremonies for the World Islands Forum at the United Nations Ocean Conference on 9 June 2025. We were delighted to have IMO Secretary General, Arsenio Dominguez delivering the keynote along with three Prime ministers on the panels and other leading policy makers at the event.
This second phase of the Island Forum was an opportunity for several Caribbean countries to announce a regional initiative financed by the Green Climate Fund to combat climate change. The following discussion focused on the decarbonization of maritime transport, a major challenge both for island connectivity and supply,
and for achieving international climate objectives. Read more…
