Problem
The maritime shipping industry faces increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to stringent global regulations. Traditional methods of propulsion rely heavily on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to air pollution and environmental damage.
Solution
NayamWings Ltd is developing a rigid wing sail system designed to be installed on maritime vessels, providing wind-assisted propulsion to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The system utilizes an autonomously controlled, multi-element airfoil that maximizes propulsive performance while minimizing heeling. This technology enables ships to harness wind energy as a clean and renewable power source, aligning with evolving regulatory standards and promoting sustainable shipping practices. The wing system can be lowered for passage under bridges, harbor entry, or during extreme weather conditions.
Target Audience
The primary target market consists of shipping companies that own flat deck vessels seeking to reduce fuel consumption and comply with emissions regulations.
Features
- Asymmetrical, multi-element rigid wing sail design for optimal aerodynamic efficiency
- Autonomous control system for adjusting wing angle and maximizing wind power utilization
- Integrated system to minimize heeling moment, improving vessel stability
- Retractable mast and wing for navigating restricted areas and accommodating various operational needs
- Compatibility with both retrofitting existing vessels and installation on new builds
