Global Expertise -
One point of contact
With world-leading sailmaking, carbon spars, composite rigging and global service expertise all within the group, we combine unrivalled technical knowledge with the hardware capability to deliver fully integrated wind propulsion solutions.
DynaRig
The DynaRig is ideal for newbuild projects, offering a highly efficient and commercially attractive option for cargo vessels, including bulkers and tankers, as well as cruise ships and RoRo passenger vessels.
AeroRig
The AeroRig is a freestanding, fully rotating carbon rig with an integrated boom and sailplan, eliminating the need for shrouds or conventional stays. It delivers balanced sail handling, light loads, and exceptional ease of use.
Intelligent
WPS Optimisation
WindWise is an AI-driven optimisation tool that identifies the optimal wind propulsion system and configuration for specific vessels and routes, maximising performance, reducing costs and enabling confident, data-led adoption.
Up to 100% fuel savings.
Starts generating savings from ≥15° AWA, even in moderate conditions.
Engine-equivalent output power per rig under best-case conditions.
Payback in as little as 5 years, depending on fuel type and carbon pricing.
Why North Windships?
What Wind Propulsion Can Do for You
North Windships specialises in helping shipowners, naval architects, and operators navigate the complexities of modern wind propulsion, by assessing feasibility, integration pathways, and return on investment for systems such as rotor sails, wing sails, kite systems, and the DynaRig. Whether you're retrofitting an existing fleet or designing a newbuild, our consultancy delivers the insight and support needed to future-proof your vessels.
Mitigating Costs
Beyond direct fuel savings, reduced GHG emissions can contribute to carbon credit generation or support broader ESG goals. Turning sustainability into a measurable financial advantage.
Stay ahead of regulations
Wind propulsion systems, such as DynaRig, rotor sails, and wing sails are proven to reduce fuel consumption and cut emissions by up to 30%, helping vessels meet EEXI and CII requirements while improving operational margins. Integrating these systems early can also position your fleet to benefit from carbon credits, FuelEU Maritime incentives, and future carbon pricing schemes.
