PROMOTING THE USE OF WIND PROPULSION BY SHIPS AND SMALL VESSELS TO REDUCE FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND DECREASE CLIMATE CHANGE RELATED EMISSIONS.

The International Windship Association (IWSA) is a not-for-profit, membership
association that facilitates and promotes wind propulsion for commercial
shipping. We bring together all required parties to shape industry and policies
to support the development of a wind-ship sector.

Find out more about the Association





ADVOCACY

Building a holistic, energy centric approach at International Maritime
Organisation (IMO), the European Union (EU) and national policy levels.
Integrating zero-emissions, zero-cost wind propulsion into all policy pathways
is vital to deliver a sustainable, equitable and profitable future global
shipping fleet.

Key Advocacy Support Themes

 * High ambition zero-emissions platform for all policy measures, not solely
   direct GHG emissions.
 * Circular distribution of revenue from economic measures to fund energy
   transition technology and solution scaling.
 * Adopt a energy-centric rather than narrow fuel-centric approach.
 * Fully energy and technology agnostic, level playing field.
 * Integration of direct wind propulsion into all policy, including carbon
   intensity measurements and economic measures.
 * Support for a ‘Just’ and ‘Equitable’ transition for SIDS and LDCs

ACTIVITIES


NETWORK

Grouping like-minded organisations and individuals to share ideas, skills, and
technical know-how for the development of the future fleet of commercial wind
ships both retrofit and newbuild.


PROMOTE

Promoting the economic value, investment opportunities and policy compliance
contribution of wind propulsion for the shipping industry, cargo owners, ports
and job creation.


EDUCATE

Delivering a central information hub on the wind propulsion sector, for ship
owners and operators, shipyards, ports, governments, equipment producers, the
media, NGOs, and the wider public.


INCUBATE

Securing funding streams, generating project collaboration, supporting grant
applications, coordinating research and the pooling of resources to further
build out the wind propulsion sector.


FACILITATE

Streamlining all stages of project development, support stakeholders, advise and
lobby legislative bodies on the policies, activities, funding and incentives
required to retrofit existing ships and new build wind ships.




DECADE OF WIND PROPULSION

The Decade of Wind Propulsion 2021-2030 has been announced by over 150 leading
companies, experts and supporters and is a declaration of intent from this
growing technology segment of commercial shipping to Deliver, Optimise and
Facilitate the decarbonisation of the current fleet and the vessels of the
future

IT’S A RENEWABLE
ENERGY SOURCE

 * Abundant Energy Supply
 * Available Worldwide Today Zero Emissions Energy
 * Delivered at No Cost
 * Delivered Directly to Point-of-Use
 * No New Infrastructure Required
   .


WIND PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY
IS MATURE AND PROVEN

 * Propulsion not Energy Efficiency
 * Wind-Assist & Primary Mover
 * Retrofits = 5-20% Propulsive Energy
 * Optimised Wind-Assist = up to 30%
 * Primary Wind New Builds = 50%++
 * Retractable, Automated, Certified


THE ECONOMICS
OF WIND MAKE SENSE

 * Energy Cost Fixed at Zero
 * Technology Available Today
 * Applicable Across the Fleet
 * Robust Pipeline of Tech & Projects
 * Operational Changes Boost Wind
 * Predictable: Weather Routing/Forecast

> There are already 48 large ocean-going vessels with wind-assist systems
> installed, with over 80 rigs and equalling three million dwt of shipping.
> There are also nine wind-ready vessels and 24 more pending installations and
> primary wind newbuilds underway along with a further 20+ smaller sail cargo
> and small cruise vessels using wind. Together, that is more than all the large
> ships currently operating using new low- and zero-emissions fuels combined.
