A radical change in propulsion sources could be considered as alternative to engine driven ships: Natural Propulsion. In order to sustain new initiatives and share potential technical and concept opportunities and to outline upcoming challenges, MARIN is organising a Natural Propulsion seminar on Friday 20 January 2012 in Wageningen.

The use of environmental forces such as wind, waves, current or sun has always been at the heart of maritime transport. Today, the constant increase in energy prices and the increasing pressure on environmental protection, is giving a new life to many ideas and a certain boost to radically new developments.
