As Dr Duncan Booker pointed out, strategic public investment has a vital role to play in helping these transformative, market-ready technologies successfully scale up for commercial use.

📈 With the global market for wind-assisted propulsion expected to exceed £40 billion by 2034, Scotland is already positioning itself to lead — not just through technological excellence, but through responsible innovation.
— reusing, repurposing, and recycling materials responsibly while creating green skills and high-quality local jobs that support sustainable growth.
⭐ Samira also underlined our commitment to responsible innovation through our work with the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland, where we are exploring circular economy principles
Together with the audience, we reflected on Scotland’s proud Clyde-built heritage and its world-leading capabilities in offshore wind, renewable energy, and marine engineering, and how SGS has drawn on these strengths to advance our cutting-edge technologies.
💡 This innovation is deeply rooted in Scottish expertise, which is why it was particularly wonderful to discuss these advances just a short walk from our own offices — and those of our expert partners, such as Caley Ocean Systems and the Malin Group.
designed through systems thinking, can make a measurable impact in reducing emissions and fuel consumption. Over 50,000 vessels worldwide could adopt this technology today, dramatically cutting both emissions and operating costs.
🔑 That’s why tackling emissions from shipping is a vital component of the global climate effort. Shipping currently accounts for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions — and intelligent, wind-assisted propulsion technologies like FastRig,

⚓ Addressing an audience spanning local authorities, consulting, manufacturing, engineering, academia, and the public sector, Samira highlighted a key challenge: although maritime transport underpins around 85% of global trade by volume, it often remains invisible.
— conducted under rigorous ITTC scientific protocols aboard the MV Pacific Grebe exactly one year ago this week.
🎉 This was a particularly special moment to be part of Glasgow City of Science and Innovation’s Art of the Possible series, as it coincided with the anniversary of our successful FastRig sea trials
this session explored Glasgow’s pivotal and historical role in revolutionising transport.
Our Head of Communications, Samira Nadkarni, enjoyed beng part of a panel discussion yesterday at the iconic Glasgow Science Centre, alongside Dr Mahmoud Wagih and Dr Marco Fossati, expertly moderated by Dr Duncan Booker. With an opening speech by Dr Stephen Breslin,

— empowering ship owners and operators who lack capital for large upfront investments — while generating 2.5 times more revenue than direct sales.

At SGS, we are turning that potential into real world results. Our flexible leasing models for FastRig technology lower the financial threshold for adoption
— a gap that not only shapes perception but also obscures the commercial potential sustainability can deliver.
However, true sustainability demands a shift in mindset. As Andreas Papandreou noted earlier in the day, only a small fraction of business schools currently integrate sustainability into their curricula

— collaborating with key partners and stakeholders to overcome the financial, regulatory, and technical barriers that often slow the transition to low-emission operations.
While shipping is often labelled a hard-to-abate sector, Di highlighted that viable solutions already exist. At SGS, our pioneering approach turns the industry’s complexity into a strategic advantage
— spotlighting Smart Green Shipping’s core ethos of reuse, repurpose, and recycle that drives the innovation behind our FastRig wingsails.

At yesterday’s 9th Sustainability Summit for South-East Europe & the Mediterranean, organised by Economist Impact SE Europe Events in Athens, our CEO Di Gilpin shared the powerful benefits of resource efficiency within a circular economy

She will join Konstantinos Aravossis, @unesco.org Chairholder on Green Innovation and Circular Economy at the National Technical University of Athens in a session moderated by Alasdair Ross, Countries Editor of The Economist.
On 14 Oct, 9:50-10:10, Di will join a panel discussion on “Circular Economy: Accelerating Climate Goals Through Resource Efficiency" to share insights on our ethos of responsible materials use and commitment to advancing the circular economy as a pathway to sustainability and climate action.
