Online seminar on hybrid sailing cargo ships
Mariko in Leer is organising, under the auspices of Greenshipping Niedersachsen and in collaborationwith FlettnerFLEET and RASANT, a free online seminar on 10 November on the potential of hybrid sailing cargo ships.
The potential of hybrid sailing cargo ships
Could hybrid sailing cargo ships become a viable option for more sustainable shipping?
On 10 November 2026, the next online edition of Windship Insights will examine their market opportunities, economic viability and environmental potential.
We will present the findings of a feasibility study commissioned by MARIKO GmbH – as a branch of the Competence Centre GreenShipping Niedersachsen – and carried out by MOVE4WARD. The study identifies promising market segments and cargo groups, examines the implications for costs and emissions, and assesses the opportunities and limitations of wind-powered freight transport.
Prof. Dr Jan Ninnemann of MOVE4WARD will present the findings, followed by a session for questions and discussion.
Date: 10 November 2026
Time: 11:00–12:00
Venue: Online – Microsoft Teams
Participation is free of charge.
