This Njord LinkedIn Live Event was broadcast on 21 January 2025, and Njord dives into the impact of FuelEU Maritime regulations on wind-assisted propulsion systems and the broader maritime industry. Exploring how this regulation incentivises the adoption of wind propulsion, from calculation methodologies and reward factors to real-world examples of fleet-wide adoption and return on investment (ROI).
Panel includes:
Gavin Allwright: Secretary General of the International Windship Association (IWSA), representing over 200 maritime stakeholders, including wind propulsion technology providers, shipowners, and research centres.
