Michelin’s WISAMO: The Inflatable Sail for Greener Shipping

Michelin's WISAMO (Wing Sail Mobility) is a revolutionary inflatable sail system designed to reduce CO₂ emissions in maritime transport.


Unlike traditional sails, WISAMO is a “plug-and-go” solution that can be fitted to virtually any vessel, from commercial ships to pleasure boats. Its telescopic mast automatically raises and lowers, allowing ships to pass under bridges and simplifying operations. The wingsail, inspired by airplane wing aerodynamics, automatically adjusts to wind speed and direction—removing the need for a full crew to operate.

By combining ease of use with fuel-saving potential, WISAMO offers a compelling path toward more sustainable shipping. Learn more at michelin.com.
