BV seeks regulatory clarity for wind propulsion

Wind propulsion is poised to play a significant role in decarbonising the maritime industry, but regulatory gaps are stalling its broader adoption, according to Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore’s (BV) newly released Wind Propulsion Technology Report. While the technology holds promise for reducing emissions, the report highlights that the absence of specific international regulations is a major barrier to scaling up wind propulsion systems across the shipping sector.
