Three free-standing rotating masts, 3,500 m² of sail area, and a high-altitude traction kite: a sea-proven primary propulsion, complemented by by a fast-maturing technology.

DynaRig + Kite synergy: optimal navigation across all wind conditions.
Three free-standing rotating carbon masts (manufactured by Southern Spars). Fully automated sails with no running rigging. Sea-proven technology in commercial operation across multiple vessels (over 450,000 nautical miles).
100 m² dynamic kite developed by Beyond the Sea. Harnesses steady high-altitude winds to maximize forward thrust. Automated launch, flight, and recovery.
Both wind systems operate independently. In light or unfavorable wind conditions, auxiliary propulsion (low-carbon engines and battery banks) takes over. No single point of failure — service continuity is engineered from the ground up.
The vessel will feature a weather routing system based on advanced wind and swell forecasts, designed to maximize wind propulsion and secure transit times.
When sailing above target speed thresholds, reversible propellers will generate on-board power — aiming to maximize decarbonization of internal energy consumption.
Zero local footprint during port calls: no auxiliary diesel engines running, powered instead by on-board batteries. Fully compatible with port-side cold ironing where available.
Our ship is the result of an alliance of world-renowned specialists.
