SAILWINT develops autonomous sailing ships whose wind turbines simultaneously propel the vessel and generate electricity, using an on-board electrolyzer to convert far-offshore wind into hydrogen stored on board without any grid connection. The business grew out of its founder's fifteen years of research into offshore wind energy and clean hydrogen generation, and its patented sailing mechanism turns the turbines into the ships' main propulsion.
The company targets buyers that need clean energy and independent electric power at sea, offering its platform for long-endurance missions such as seabed mapping and inspection, offshore exploration energy supply, seaborne surveillance, and maritime research. Its approach competes with fixed and floating offshore wind farms that depend on coastal siting and grid infrastructure, and it develops scaled-up vessels together with research and industry partners.
