The ultimate toolbox for wind assistance

From feasibility to post-installation, Blue Wasp is at your side with the right service and software to help you build a strong business case and ensure a seamless deployment and maximum operational efficiency of your wind propulsion systems.

Holistic Wind Assist Analysis

Our Holistic Wind Assist Analysis is your first step to emissions reduction and fuel savings. The analysis allows us to determine ship and operation-specific solutions to optimize fleet efficiency.

The Holistic Wind Assist Analysis is designed to minimize risks associated with adopting wind assist technologies, by considering real performance figures and vessel limitations. It provides an early-stage overview of the most suitable options, along with their potential impact on performance, regulatory compliance, and financial viability.
