Klima-Sail System

Conventional Cargo Ships

Did you know?

Did you know that the largest cargo ships use enormous amounts of energy for propulsion? Every ship:

Daily Fuel Consumption

Up to 300 tons of HFO (heavy fuel oil)

Yearly Fuel Consumption

Up to 100.000 tons of HFO 

Yearly Fuel Costs

Up to € 60 Millions 

Yearly Emission

Up to 316.000 tons of CO2 

The Vision

Our vision is the development of energy-efficient maritime freight systems. The goal is to make propulsion more efficient using conventional ships. By utilizing the applyed energy in the best possible way, fuel consumption can be significantly reduced. This saves costs and CO2.
