Shipping is quietly bringing wind power back 🌬️🚢
Not old sails.
Now, giant rotor sails and wind-assist systems are being used on modern cargo ships to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
More than 100 vessels worldwide are already using or preparing wind propulsion systems, with many shipowners now ordering them for entire fleets instead of just testing one ship at a time.
Some vessels are reporting fuel savings of between 5% and 20% and some routes have even seen higher numbers in strong wind conditions.

⛴ Low-carbon fuels are reshaping maritime transport
Ports play a key role in enabling infrastructure for clean energy in shipping.
The fuel transition is also a port transition.

The Directorate General of Shipping had the privilege of hosting Dr Saptarshi Basu for an insightful technical interaction on advanced maritime propulsion technologies and the future of sustainable shipping.
During the session, Dr Basu delivered a detailed presentation on “Nuclear Marine Propulsion for the 21st Century: A National Imperative for India”, covering global developments in nuclear-powered maritime systems, advanced reactor technologies, alternative marine propulsion concepts and India’s strategic opportunities in the domain of clean and energy-efficient shipping.
The discussions highlighted the growing importance of alternative fuels and next-generation propulsion pathways in supporting maritime decarbonisation, long-term energy security and sustainable shipping objectives. Key aspects relating to advanced marine reactor systems, thorium-based fuel, indigenous technological capabilities and future-ready maritime infrastructure were also deliberated during the interaction.
The interaction provided valuable technical insights into emerging propulsion technologies and their potential relevance in the context of India’s evolving green shipping and maritime sustainability initiatives under Maritime India @ Net Zero.
