Manta Marine Technologies is a pioneer of wind assisted propulsion. Today, we help WAP equipped vessels maximise performance with FuelOpt, our propulsion optimisation system. It unlocks more efficient WAP-supported operations and enables the true potential of any Wind Assisted Propulsion technology.
Wind Assisted Propulsion (WAP) offers a powerful opportunity to cut fuel use by harnessing clean, wind generated thrust. To fully realise this potential, propulsion systems must be optimised in real time to match changing wind conditions. Manta Marine Technologies’ FuelOpt makes this possible by continuously adjusting engine output to the performance of the WAP system. WAP hardware alone is not enough – intelligent engine optimisation delivers the savings, and FuelOpt is already proving this on nine operating vessels, with 5 different WAP technologies.
