The VIRATGE project carried out by bound4blue SL is supported by ACCIO (The Agency for Business Competitiveness Generalitat de Catalunya) through the program Nuclis de Recerca Industrial i Desenvolupament Experimental and is co-funded by the European Union in the framework of the ERDF (European Fund for Economic and Regional Development) Operational Program Catalonia 2014-2020.

The aim of VIRATGE project is to develop a new type of rigid wingsail for the maritime transport industry. This solution will be a new approach to wind-assisted propulsion methods for cargo vessels. For this project, we will work together with Spanish companies Isonaval, IDI Eureka, Biscarri and the Cabier Institute.
