Wind-assisted ship propulsion: join the WiSP 4 open kick-off

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.
