Abstract
Wind assisted ship propulsion technologies have attracted significant attention as sustainable alternatives to conventional marine propulsion systems. However, the appropriate selection and implementation of these technologies can be heavily influenced by a variety of factors, including their technical characteristics, environmental impacts, associated costs, inherent limitations, and operational settings. This paper presents a comprehensive and innovative financial modeling framework tailored to assess the potential economic and environmental benefits resulting from installing different wind assisted ship propulsion systems on various vessel types. The insights derived from this study provide valuable guidance for stakeholders in the maritime industry, aiding shipowners, investors, and policymakers in making informed decisions regarding the adoption and investment in wind assisted propulsion systems, thereby contributing to the advancement of sustainable shipping practices.
