ShipZERO30 LISW – HyWindships
How to Achieve Absolute Zero Emissions in Trans-Oceanic Shipping
ZESTAs ShipZERO30 workshop, “HyWindships” brings together shipowners, hydrogen producers, wind propulsion experts, cargo owners, investors, technology developers, and policymakers committed to achieving Absolute Zero Emissions to discover how collectively we can achieve absolute zero emissions by working together across the full supply chain. “Wind and Wave to Wake”.
Collaboratively, we will explore how together, we can make this work energetically, and therefore economically. The key being efficiencies: efficiency in vessel design, efficiency in onboard energy system designs, but also efficiencies in the global energy system, from the capture of renewable energy all the way through the supply chain to its use on the vessel. “Wind and Wave to Wake”!
A “HyWindship” is an electric vessel that uses wind, combined with energy stored in batteries and hydrogen, for propulsion. It relies solely on electric propulsion to reach favourable winds when there is too little wind or none in the right direction, and also in port, for both manoeuvring and alongside. These vessels are also capable of topping up their energy storage systems when wind is abundant, further reducing onboard energy storage needs.
The seminar will feature:
- Case studies from shipowners operating absolute zeroe vessels
- Insights from hydrogen producers scaling supply chains
- Technology demonstrations in wind propulsion and hydrogen systems
- Analysis of energy system efficiency and electrification
- An international helicopter view of RE and green hydrogen supply chains
- Collaborative sessions with ecosystem stakeholders
Why this matters
The solutions are real. The systems are proven. Absolute Zero is not a future goal—it’s happening now. Join us at the heart of maritime policymaking to explore what’s possible and what’s already underway.

Why at the IMO?
The IMO is where international maritime policy is forged.
During LISW, it becomes the focal point of global attention.
By bringing absolute zero solutions directly to this forum, we make the case for immediate action—with evidence.
