Kazuhiro Tsushima - Kaiji Press

Smart Green Shipping (SGS), a UK startup, is advancing the commercialization of its uniquely developed wind-assisted propulsion device for ships, "FastRig." Utilizing the lightweight aluminum system, which allows for easy installation and removal, the company proposes flexible schemes to facilitate adoption by shipowners and charterers. These include offering the device through a leasing model and providing outcome-based contracts that share fuel efficiency savings between shipowners and charterers. To achieve this, they aim to accurately predict the fuel efficiency benefits in advance.
