The maritime industry stands at the cusp of a significant transformation driven by the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and combat climate change. With the global shipping sector responsible for a considerable portion of the world's carbon footprint, the search for alternative energy fuels is not just a matter of regulatory compliance, but a pivotal step towards environmental stewardship. Wind-Assisted Propulsion Systems (WAPSs ) are emerging as a promising technology that can reduce fuel consumption and consequently lower greenhouse gas emissions. These systems, including rotor sails, hard sails, suction wings, kites, soft sails, and hull technology, vary in maturity, cost, and suitability for specific ship types. The potential of wind-assisted propulsion for shipping is vast, and ongoing developments are aimed at harnessing this renewable energy source efficiently. Furthermore, the implementation of wind-assisted propulsion systems in the shipping industry can
