Everllence has struck a landmark deal with ABB and OceanWings to jointly develop a wind-assisted propulsion system for LNG carriers and future cargo vessels

The collaboration aims to integrate OceanWings’ rigid wing sail technology with the DFE+ (Diesel-Electric with variable speed) propulsion system co-developed by Everllence and ABB.

The concept is expected to deliver significant fuel savings and emissions reductions by combining wind power with high-efficiency electric propulsion and the future integration of sustainable energy sources like batteries and fuel cells.
