Tesla of the Seas

The global shipping industry, contributing a fifth of the world’s total CO2 emissions, is setting its compass towards sustainability. Here comes the Tesla of the Seas – a cutting-edge idea of ships without emissions that could change the face of maritime transport and cargo shipping.

This vessel by Windship Technology combines contemporary technical features with ageless power sources to present a sustainable solution to conventional ships.

How this innovative ship combines wind, sun, and carbon capture for a genuinely green future
The “Tesla of the Seas” is a concept that can be seen as a unique solution to decrease the amount of emissions in sea freight. The design involves the integration of wind-assist and solar power, as well as carbon capture technology. The vessel’s design consists of a 48-meter-tall triple-wing rig to generate wind energy to drive the ship instead of fuel.

This wind-driven system is complemented by a diesel-electric drive that does not emit CO2, NOX, SOX, or particulate matter. Besides wind power, large solar arrays are also incorporated into the ship to decrease its emissions further. Carbon capture technology allows the vessel to reach “True Zero” emissions. This solution is a significant step toward making the maritime industry future-proof and sustainable.    READ MORE...
