1. Industrial Power Sails for Ocean Shipping

2. Up to 100% fuel reduction with zero impact on port operations.
Compatible with barge and containerships.
A shipping vessel could see 25% annual fuel cost reduction.

3. The Power Sail Solution
Downwind towing for fuel reduction.
Sails stay optimized for max fuel reduction.
Sailing vessel sails back upwind to meet the next ship.

4. The Plan
Ship Engineering - Detailed ship engineering will develop manufacturing designs.
Ship Construction - A sail powered towing vessel will be constructed.
Early Adoption - Shipping charters between the West Coast and Hawaii.
Expansion-We will grow our business based on strong winds and demand for ocean shipping.

5. Benefits to Shipping Companies
Wind energy is now extremely predictable and trade winds to Hawaii are present 70% of the time.
Reduced operating costs and polluting emissions.
An ocean tug consumes ≈ 80,000 gallons of fuel from to Seattle to Hawaii. Using the power sail solution for 80 % of the voyage saves up to  64,000 gallons or $204,800 with fuel at $3.20 per gallon

6. The wind rose shows the frequency of winds blowing from particular directions. (2007)

7. Power Sail to Hawaii
In 2002 84.5% of traffic occurred north of the equator
Hawaii holds a strategic position on North and Central Pacific
2007  HI Maritime Transportation  151 M gallons of fuel
10% fuel savings ≈ $60 million in cost of fuel (2009)

8. Market Size  Very large, worldwide market
Ocean trade (million tons), 19701990: 56%
Ocean trade (million tons), 19902006: 85%
Seaborne trade  33,520 vessels
 Very large, worldwide market
