Blue Wasp Launches Pelican Suite: A New Standard in Wind Propulsion Decision-Making

Blue Wasp Marine is proud to announce the official launch of Pelican Suite, a next-generation software tool designed to support shipowners, charterers, and operators in evaluating and optimizing wind-assisted propulsion systems.

Pelican Suite transforms complex simulation outputs into actionable insights, allowing users to confidently build the business case for wind propulsion—before and after installation.

A Data-Driven Tool for a Data-Driven Industry
Built on the same engine as our in-house Pelican simulation software, Pelican Suite provides:

• Comparative analysis of different WASP technologies
• Forecasts of fuel savings, payback periods, and operational impact
• Compliance assessment with evolving regulations like CII, EEXI, and FuelEU
• Tools for performance monitoring, benchmarking, and post-installation optimization

Unlike many technical tools, Pelican Suite is designed for ease of use—it does not require in-depth technical knowledge of wind propulsion to generate valuable, business-relevant outputs.

From Proven Research to Market Application
Pelican Suite leverages insights from over 50 wind propulsion projects and includes performance models for technologies such as Rotorsails, Wingsails, Suction Wings, and Kitesails. It is the first software of its kind to receive Approval in Principle (AiP) from a classification society (RINA), underscoring its technical robustness and industry relevance.

A New Milestone for Blue Wasp
“Pelican Suite marks the latest evolution of our technology,” says Dr. Giovanni Bordogna, Co-Founder and R&D Lead at Blue Wasp. “It’s a practical, accessible tool that allows users to make informed decisions about wind propulsion adoption—and get the most out of their systems post-installation.”

Pelican Suite is now available to selected clients.
