AirWing technology drives maritime decarbonisation
The project, which involves collaboration between the University of Bath and Carisbrooke Shipping Ltd, focuses on integrating AI-based self-learning technologies to optimise performance in real time. This development promises to improve fuel efficiency and could also be a key step towards decarbonising merchant ships.
With this support, GT Wings reaffirms its commitment to delivering game-changing solutions for global shipowners and operators, contributing to a more sustainable future for the maritime industry.
This project is part of the UK government’s UK SHORE programme, a £206 million initiative aimed at fostering technological innovation and reducing emissions in the national maritime sector.
