for the sea, for the planet

We love the sea. Protecting it is the reason we build wings.

The sea, without pollution

The blue we love is the blue we must protect

Nothing is free like the wind, nothing is blue like the sea. Shipping carries the world's goods, and it does so by burning fuel: the fastest way to pollute less is to consume less, on the ships that are already sailing.

Wind Assisted Propulsion Systems (WAPS) harness the wind to supplement the engine. Every tonne of fuel not burned is a tonne of CO₂ not emitted, and the sea, and the people who live from it, feel the difference.

And it is not only a matter of conscience: rules now put a price and a deadline on emissions.

The rules that matter

Emissions now have a price, a limit and a date

European Union

EU ETS for shipping

Shipping companies must buy and surrender emission allowances for ships of 5,000 GT and above calling at EU ports.

  • Phase-in: 40% of 2024 emissions, 70% of 2025 emissions, 100% from 2026 emissions onwards.
  • Scope: 100% of intra-EU voyages, 50% of voyages to or from outside the EU, 100% at berth.

FuelEU Maritime

Since 1 January 2025 ships of 5,000 GT and above must reduce the greenhouse-gas intensity of the energy they use on board.

  • Reference targets: −2% in 2025, −6% in 2030, −14.5% in 2035, −31% in 2040, −62% in 2045, −80% in 2050.
  • The regulation recognises wind-assisted propulsion through a reward factor.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1805
IMO

CII — Carbon Intensity Indicator

In force since 1 November 2022 for ships of 5,000 GT and above: every ship receives an annual rating from A to E, and the required level tightens every year.

  • A rating of E in one year, or D for three consecutive years, requires a corrective action plan.

Global net-zero framework

The IMO is working on a global fuel standard and pricing mechanism for shipping. Adoption was postponed in October 2025 and talks resume in 2026: the direction is set, the timing is still open.
