We are delighted to be exhibiting again at SMM 2026, joining the global maritime industry in Hamburg to discuss one of shipping’s most practical routes to lower fuel use and emissions: wind-assisted propulsion.
Visit us at Booth A4.206 to meet the bound4blue team and learn more about our eSAIL® suction sail technology – a fully autonomous wind propulsion system designed to support commercial vessels in real operating conditions.
🧍Booth: A4. 206
📅 1–4 September 2026
📍 Hamburg Messe, Germany
Discover the eSAIL® technology
eSAIL® is not a traditional sail. It uses suction-based aerodynamics to generate propulsive force from the wind, helping vessels reduce engine load, fuel consumption and emissions.
At our booth, our team will be available to explain how the system works, where it can be installed, what shipowners need to consider, and how wind-assisted propulsion can support today’s efficiency and regulatory challenges.
Whether you are exploring options for a newbuilding, assessing a retrofit project, or simply want to better understand the role of suction sails in commercial shipping, we would be happy to speak with you.
Activities at SMM
During SMM, we’ll be joining industry conversations, meeting customers and partners, and hosting an informal Spanish-style gathering at our booth.
Dont’ miss:
🎤 Wind propulsion panel discussion
Tuesday, 1 September | 13:00 – 13:50
