For thousands of years maritime transport relied on nature’s power. Today, with the twin challenges of volatile oil prices and impending environmental legislation, serious consideration must be given to economically viable natural propulsion solutions. Therefore, SWZ Maritime’s ‘Green Innovation’ special features natural propulsion.

The article in SWZ Maritime looks back on Marin’s natural propulsion seminar and topics such as SkySails, the E-ship 1, and hybrid powered cargo ships with sails. The PowerPoint Presentations given at the seminar can be downloaded from the https://www.marin.nl/web/Events/Natural-Propulsion-Seminar-2012.htm[Marin website].
