On 26 November, industry stakeholders will come together online and in Trondheim to discuss key challenges in the next phase of wind-assisted ship propulsion.

Topics include:
  • CFD benchmarking of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic performance
  • Full-scale validation of WASP performance
  • Human-machine interaction
  • Propeller-engine interaction
  • Safe operation in moderate sea states

Building on the results of previous WiSP projects, WiSP 4 brings together industry and research partners to advance the development of wind-assisted ship propulsion. Previous participation in a WiSP JIP is not required.
