The OptiSail project – Optimal Installation of Sails on ships has officially started. Our goal is to develop an advanced digital tool capable of delivering reliable performance predictions for vessels equipped with WASP (Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion) systems, i.e. auxiliary propulsion technologies that harness wind energy to assist ship propulsion.

The WINDS project (Wing-Implemented Navigation for Decarbonized Shipping) has officially started, involving us alongside Airworks SRL, Alping Italia Srl and UNITS in the design and development of the first full-scale 1:1 version of our new WSM 2.0 (Wing Sail Module®).
This innovative system aims to integrate wind power into naval propulsion, reducing fuel consumption and limiting pollutant emissions in maritime transport.

The project is aimed at developing an innovative module, the WSM (Wing Sail Module), which uses the energy of the wind to reduce the consumption of fuels for the propulsion of ships.
The new RoPax “GNV Bridge” just built by Cantiere Navale Visentini is currently engaged in sea trials before final delivery to Grandi Navi Veloci.

After the long and problematic pandemic period, with consequent slow down of many activities, fiberglass wing blade, already manufactured in April, has been transported to Concrane in Trieste for the final assembling. Official presentation will occur at the end of this year, after a series of factory tests.
