About this ebook

Wind Ships explores the exciting resurgence of wind-assisted propulsion (WAPS) in the maritime industry, offering a path towards sustainable shipping. It examines how modern cargo ships can harness wind power to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and minimize the environmental impact of global trade. One intriguing insight is the potential for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality in port cities. The book uniquely balances technological feasibility, environmental benefits, and economic viability, presenting a comprehensive view for industry professionals and environmental advocates alike.

The book investigates various WAPS designs, from rotor sails to kite sails, and analyzes their performance through real-world case studies. It quantifies emissions reductions and assesses the economic factors driving WAPS adoption, offering a framework for evaluating return on investment.

By starting with the fundamental principles of wind-assisted propulsion, dedicating chapters to specific WAPS designs, and culminating with an analysis of economic factors, the book provides a clear progression of information.

The book argues that wind-assisted propulsion is a viable component of a sustainable future by demonstrating how innovative engineering and advanced materials are transforming wind power into a competitive alternative to conventional fuel sources.
