The failure to adopt new global measures at MEPC 83 was a setback — but not a reversal.
In fact, major economies including China have made it clear they will continue to push ahead with national and regional decarbonization pathways. That’s why events like Marintec China 2025 are more important than ever. OceanWings will be exhibiting in Hall N2, Stand N2E1A, showcasing wingsail technology that is ready now to help meet these ambitions.
China’s shipbuilding sector is set to play a defining role in the transition to low-emission shipping, not only as the world’s leading builder of ships, but also as a country actively shaping its own regulatory and industrial roadmap. OceanWings sees Chinese shipyards as natural collaborators for deploying wind-assisted propulsion at scale, and we are excited to deepen these partnerships at Marintec.
Supporting the Chinese Shipbuilding Ecosystem
OceanWings is uniquely well-placed to work with Chinese shipyards through a robust supply chain based on proven, scalable processes. Our manufacturing partners already produce advanced wind turbine blades, meaning they bring decades of composite expertise, precision tooling, and large-scale production capacity to wingsail manufacturing. This enables us to meet demand quickly and cost-effectively, with the added benefit of proximity to key shipyard locations.
This local footprint translates to practical advantages: reduced transport logistics, faster delivery timelines, and smoother integration with shipyard planning and operations. Whether for newbuild projects or retrofit installations, OceanWings can deliver industrial-scale wingsail solutions that align with Chinese shipyards' standards for quality, reliability, and production efficiency.
Proven Tech for a Scalable Future
Among all decarbonization pathways available today, wind propulsion stands out as the most mature and immediately scalable. In particular, OceanWings wingsails deliver measurable fuel savings, require no new fuel infrastructure, and can be integrated into a wide range of vessel types, including LNG Carriers and containerships. With validated performance data from vessels like Canopée, and a track record of near-continuous uptime, OceanWings offers a practical way to reduce emissions today.
