In this episode, we explore why wind‑assist systems are suddenly becoming a real opportunity for shipowners, charterers, and ship managers.
We discuss:

Which EU rules are materially changing the business case for rotor sails
How Flettner rotors help reduce CO₂‑intensity values and minimize compliance risks
Calculations, payback scenarios, and operational benefits
Which vessel types stand to benefit most—and what hurdles remain
