• Amasus-owned vessel Eems Traveller docks at Port of Hamburg 3-4 September to showcase bound4blue’s eSAIL® wind propulsion system at SMM 2024. • Wind set to make major SMM impact in ‘new regulatory reality’. / Barcelona, August 28, 2024: This year’s SMM will be the first major maritime event to host a vessel featuring an advanced Wind Assisted Propulsion System (WAPS), with the 2,850 dwt Eems Traveller sailing in to dock at Überseebrücke, Hamburg, for the 3rd and 4th September.
