Mason et al (2026). Report: A Global Fleet Under Wind: Scaling Wind Propulsion for Emission Reduction, Energy Demand and Equity

This report provides the first comprehensive assessment of wind propulsion fuel savings and uptake across the entire wind-suitable fleet. Using Automatic Identification System (AIS) ship tracking data and advanced wind propulsion modelling across 25 ship types, we quantify the emissions abatement potential of wind propulsion at a fleet scale and evaluate what a targeted, ambitious deployment could achieve over the coming decades.
