AYRO’s WINNEW project
AYRO aims to develop 363m2 wingsails that, installed on commercial ships, will allow them to reduce up to a 45% their fuel consumptions and CO2 emissions. WINNEW consists in speeding up the development and the industrialization of the Oceanwings® 363 and further enhance the technology throughout tests and validation processes.
WINNEW Project : The Oceanwings® 363
Low carbon consumption, performance & design
The Oceanwings® 363, a unique patented wingsail designed for commercial ships with outstanding performance, around twice compare to a standard sail, is safe and fully automated. This system aims at supporting the reduction of fuel consumption and carbon emission within the maritime transportation.
Oceanwings environmental engagement
“WINNEW’s project main objective is to decarbonize the shipping industry, leading it towards greener practices. This industry alone is responsible for 3% of global GHD emissions[1] and shipping trade is about to double by 2050, increasing total sector’s emissions by 17%.
To prevent this environmental disaster, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has commited to reducing CO2 emissions by 40% in 2030 and by 70% in 2050.
These incoming regulations, together with the sector’s focus on improving operational performance and for avoiding fuel price dependency, represent a great market opportunity for AYRO since the Oceanwings cuts by up to 45% the fuel consumption of the commercial vessels.
As such, WINNEW project will tackle several of the EMFF-Blue Economy SME Window-2020 expected impacts, contributing to EU’s environmental policy priorities, seizing a new market that will reach billions euros market value in 2030 and creating more than 300 direct jobs in the next 10 years.
