Wind Propulsion in Theory and Reality – Göteborg
Many different techniques have been tested to reduce fuel costs and carbon dioxide emissions in shipping in recent years. Among them is a technique that has been successfully used for thousands of years: wind.
So, where are the winds blowing in this area today? What are the latest research findings? Which solutions are best suited for different types of vessels? And how are the shipping companies thinking? Welcome to a day entirely focused on the "sails" of the future.
Preliminary programme (work in progress)
Lunch and Swedish fika will be served.
