A Very Happy New Year – we hope that 2026 will deliver on it’s great potential to be the breakout year for wind propulsion system uptake with the technology segment surpassing 100 large ship installations by the end of Q1, 2026 (c.5 million dwt) and approaching 200 ships by the year’s end.
This will deliver multiple reference ships across many of the sub segments within the key bulker, tanker and general cargo markets so that shipowners will increasingly be able to compare installations and performance across ship size, vessel configuration and operational profiles.
We look forward to a busy and energetic 2026 with wind propulsion firmly in the ship energy ‘horse race’.
