A suction sail for merchant ships using WAP, reducing fuel costs, emissions, and maintenance
eSAIL® is an innovative Wind-Assisted Propulsion System (WAPS) that uses active boundary layer control through suction to harness wind energy, providing a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional propulsion. It generates 6-7 times more lift than conventional sails, with low power consumption and no mechanical complexity, ensuring easy and reliable operation. Its compact design maximizes aerodynamic efficiency while minimizing impact on ship stability, deck space, and visibility. eSAIL® significantly reduces fuel consumption, lowers emissions, and helps ships meet environmental regulations like the EEXI and CII, ultimately leading to cost savings in both operational and capital expenditures. This technology is a game-changer for the maritime industry, combining environmental benefits with economic savings.
