Orcelle Wind


Introducing Orcelle Wind – our wind-powered pure car and truck carrier capable of achieving up to 90% reduced emissions compared to today’s most efficient vessels – which we hope to have ready for the high seas by 2025...

The world’s first full-size wind-powered pure car and truck carrier


“Since 2008, we have been able to reduce CO2 intensity by 33%, which is a significant step. But the journey towards zero emissions requires great strides forward,” says Craig Jasienski, CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen. “We believe Orcelle Wind is one of them.”

Once completed, Orcelle Wind will have the capacity to carry 7,000 vehicles at speeds of 10-12 knots under sail – a speed that can be increased with the help of an onboard supplemental power system. In addition to cars, the wind-powered vessel will also be able to transport heavy machinery and breakbulk products.
