About

We are an impact-driven team designing whale-inspired propulsion systems based on a wave energy converting technology developed with with leading French research organization Ifremer. Our aim is to provide shipowners worldwide with a reliable solution to achieve their decarbonization targets, by reducing fuel consumption and GHG emissions by at least 20%. Our product consists of a specifically designed, articulated and controlled hydrofoil attached to the stern of the ship, complete with performance-enhancing control algorithms ; It can be installed on newbuilds as well as during refit operations, and is applicable to most ocean-going ships (container ships, LNG carriers, oil carrier, general cargo ships, etc.). Added benefits include pitch stabilization, as well as the potential for on-board electricity generation.
