SUMMARY:Wings of Tomorrow – GT Wings Launches Cutting-Edge AirWing Technology to Lead Maritime Decarbonisation
DESCRIPTION:VIP Launch Event to Showcase Innovation\, Collaboration\, and the Future of Clean\nShipping\nLondon\, UK – GT Wings\, in collaboration with Carisbrooke Shipping\, University of Bristol\,\nand supported by Innovate UK and the UK Department for Transport\, proudly announces the\nlaunch of the AirWing propulsion system. This revolutionary technology\, backed by £3.7M in\nfunding through the UK Government’s Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 4\n(CMDC4)\, aims to reduce emissions in the maritime sector by up to 30%. This groundbreaking\nproject is set to transform the shipping industry by accelerating the transition to sustainable\nmaritime transport. \nThe first AirWing will be installed on a Carisbrooke Shipping 120m general cargo vessel\nbefore commencing sea trials through 2025. This first installation will demonstrate the\ntechnology’s real-world impact\, symbolising a significant step toward zero-emission shipping. \nA Launch Event to Drive Maritime Innovation\nTo celebrate this milestone\, GT Wings will host an exclusive launch event in London in 2025\,\nbringing together key stakeholders\, policymakers\, investors\, and innovators. The event will\noffer a platform to explore future collaborations\, spark industry conversations\, and showcase\nthe power of innovation in tackling maritime emissions. \nThe event will take place on the 1st of May 2025 at Norton Rose Fulbright LLP located in\nLondon\, UK. \nThe event will feature: \n\nKeynote speeches by industry leaders and government representatives\nPanel discussions with project partners and green technology innovators\nVIP networking sessions to foster meaningful connections\n\nAn Open Invitation to Join the Movement\nAs part of this transformative initiative\, we invite companies and organisations committed to\nsustainability and innovation to explore opportunities to align their brands with the AirWing\nproject. This event offers an unparalleled opportunity to associate with cutting-edge\nmaritime technology and engage with industry leaders. \nFor companies interested in supporting the event or learning more about how they can\nparticipate through strategic partnerships\, please get in touch with our team. \nHear what supporting partners have to say about the event: \n“We are thrilled to bring the AirWing system to market in a record timeframe. We believe that\nAirWing represents a game-changing wind propulsion technology\, maximising thrust and fuel\nsavings from the smallest possible unit size. We are proud to be working alongside Carisbrooke\nShipping and University of Bristol to bring this technology to life.”\n– George Thompson\, GT Wings \n“We are proud to be working alongside GT Wings as a project partner with this innovative\nprototype. Decarbonisation of the marine environment takes centre stage at Carisbrooke\nshipping. The installation of our first AirWing will have a significant impact ensuring we maintain\nour efficiency in reducing our emissions\, cutting fuel costs and compliance with strict new\nemissions regulations well into the future.”\n– Capt Simon Merritt\, Senior Fleet Manager\, Carisbrooke Shipping \n“We are excited to be part of the AirWing consortium working towards a new Age of Sail. This\ncollaboration between industry and academia exemplifies the innovative\, multidisciplinary\, and\naudacious spirit needed to achieve a more sustainable future.”\n– Dr Tobias Laux\, Senior Research Associate\, University of Bristol \n“This new £30m [CMDC6] investment is part of our Plan for Change – growing the economy and\nmaking Britain a Clean Energy Superpower. I’m proud to see this funding boost growth and\ncreate jobs throughout the UK\, as well as ushering in an era of zero-emission shipping. It was\ngreat to join GT Wings in Hull to see their fantastic new propulsion system\, and to see how\nthey’re driving economic growth and supporting jobs in the region.”\n– Mike Kane\, Maritime Minister \n“At KAP\, we are proud to be part of this transformative project. Our goal is to connect innovative\nsolutions like AirWing with the right stakeholders\, ensuring that these technologies not only\nmake an impact but also drive meaningful partnerships toward a sustainable maritime future.”\n– Mohamad Kantar\, Co-founder\, KAP
