The maritime energy transition has reached a symbolic milestone with the first commercial order of rigid sails developed by Oceanbird. This technology, designed to reduce fuel consumption thru wind propulsion, will be installed on an existing ship in the coming years.

This project marks a decisive step toward the industrialization of hybrid solutions in maritime transport. The stakeholders in the sector are now seeking to combine technological innovation and emission reduction in order to meet international climate goals.

For the global supply chain, this development confirms that decarbonization no longer relies solely on alternative fuels, but also on structural innovations capable of transforming the very design of ships.
