Developing a sail power system for cargo ships at a 10,000m² production facility
CWS is an industrial start-up established in 2016 for the design and manufacture of a sail power system for cargo ships. CWS is to set up its first 10,000m² production facility in St Nazaire, following an initial order for 60 sails for 10 ships, with delivery projected for 2025 /2026.
This comes after the approval of the first prototypes financed by Ademe, the French Agency for Ecological Transition, through its 2019-2021 future investments programme, with funding for R&D and a demonstrator coming from the MerVent 2025 project financed by BPI France as part of the Corimer 2022 call for expressions of interest.
The project was financed through Corimer’s ‘First production facility’ (Première Usine) call for projects.
