Story and mission

The Blue Wasp story begins in 2013 with a PhD research project at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) with the goal of understanding and accurately modeling the effects of wind propulsion on commercial ships, allowing for reliable predictions of vessel performance.

advancing maritime sustainability

The potential of wind propulsion quickly became clear—it offers a readily available solution to advance maritime sustainability. Building on this foundation, we founded Blue Wasp Marine in 2021. 

Since then, we have proudly served some of the world's largest and most prestigious shipping companies, charterers, shipyards, and naval architects positioning us as the leading provider of independent technical solutions for wind propulsion.
