01
Wind Power
OceanWings’ mission is to provide the most efficient Wind Assisted Propulsion Systems, enabling vessels to reduce emissions and lower operational costs.
By making innovative technology accessible, OceanWings has become a global leader in the decarbonization of ocean travel, helping steer the industry towards wind energy as the most scalable and ready solution for a sustainable future.
02
Hydro-Generation
Using an electric motor for a boat’s auxiliary propulsion has evolved for more environmentally acceptable power increases. A great advantage of using an electric motor is that it can work as a generator by harnessing energy from the ‘free-wheeling’ propeller when sailing. The electric motor becomes a generator, which charges the propulsion battery bank and in turn supplies power to the systems and services aboard the boat.
03
Solar Power
The wind is solar-powered. Quite literally, wind is convection currents created by sun heating the earth. Now 21st century solar technology allows sailors to harness the sun, as well as the wind, to move us through the ocean. Our OceanWing sails are photovoltaic, along with cabin-top panels.
Solutions
Onboard Energy Management & Conservation
To conserve energy onboard, we use a combination of hydrodynamic improvements, renewable energy integration, and waste energy recovery systems. These technologies aim to reduce onboard energy consumption—which can account for 50–60% of operating energy expenditures.
