Maritime decarbonisation on the Movin’on Inside agenda

Where do you stand with regard to other players who are innovating in wind energy?

WISAMO stands out from other solutions due to the flexibility and robustness of the wing sail, which is fully retractable thanks to a control system developed by Michelin's R&D teams. Its ease of use means no specific training is needed; crews are therefore not impacted in their day-to-day operations.
Furthermore, the profile of the WISAMO wing sail permits optimal upwind performance from 20 to 30 degrees*.

*The wing sail's profiled shape means it is efficient when sailing almost directly into the wind.
