WISAMO

📣 Eager to enter into WISAMO #Michelin intimacy ? 😉 France Inter French radio went out and met WISAMO team onboard Michel Desjoyeaux sailing boat equipped with our wingsail prototype. Few moments of navigation with The Professor to learn how our solution works. ⛵️ Then a deep dive into Michelin R&D in Switzerland back to WISAMO genesis 💨 ➡️ Why not taking some minutes to listen to the replay broadcast (in 🇫🇷)? https://lnkd.in/egVedEmV #windpropulsion Gildas QUEMENEUR Bruno Fragnière Christophe Penot

An important step forward has been done last week! 💨🚢 Pact for Wind Propulsion was signed with French Government who confimed its commitment to support wind propulsion actors contributing to maritime transport decarbonisation ✍️ The pact signature has involved French Minister Roland Lescure in charge of Industry and Energy, and Hervé Berville Secretary of State in charge of Sea and Biodiversity, together with the shipping and financing ecosystem: GICAN, Armateurs de France, Cluster Maritime Français, AUTF - Association des Utilisateurs de Transport de Fret, Bureau Veritas | Marine & Offshore, Banque Populaire Grand Ouest, CIC, FIMAR, GO CAPITAL, Épopée Gestion, and of course Association Wind Ship to represent all wind propulsion actors. 👍 A great job done by Lise Detrimont! 👏 And WISAMO #michelin is very proud to be part of that event in Saint-Nazaire as a witness of an important step forward for a more #sustainable maritime transportation.

👋 Psst... something's up for WISAMO #Michelin... Dive backstage with the Group communication team in our 2 locations in Nantes and in Vannes in order to prepare WISAMO participation to the Michelin coming event… 🔥 A great moment shared with WISAMO and Corporate Michelin teams. 🙏 Thank you Antoine D., Stephane Reinneis, CAROLE VIGNERON LE FLOCH, and Fábia Trindade for your engagement 🙏  We now look forward to discovering the result! 🤔 Want to know more about what’s coming next? ➡️ Stay tuned… more info very soon 🚀 #michelin #people #innovation Riot House

🌟 WISAMO celebrates International Women Rights Day and commits for gender diversity throughout the year! Of course maritime sector is not restricted to men, and in fact it attracts more and more young ladies in their career guidance.  🤰At WISAMO #Michelin, 7 out of 16 employees are women. And 2 of them are engineers. 💎 A real wealth for our organization that we reinforce with a variety of profiles and a cultural diversity among the team. Today let's introduce Fábia Trindade - Lead Test and Validation at WISAMO. Coming from Brazil, she enjoys working in the field onshore and offshore, showing a real professional engagement and a lot of great humour 😍 👉 More info about the rest of the team on our website: https://lnkd.in/e657V9pz Fábia Trindade Elodie BULTEL Charlotte Hugues Jonville Karine Pennetier Annabelle Clémenti Sandrine Porcheret Sylvia Truwant #people #InternationalWomenDay #windpropulsion

😍 So happy to see WISAMO inspiration in Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement activity report infography for 2023 😍 📌 One year and a half ago WISAMO settled in #Nantes in the Brick building dedicated to maritime industry. 18 months to integrate the local network and maritime ecosystem thanks to the support of Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement. 🚀 A major decision for the team, an impactful step for WISAMO #Michelin to move forward! Now Wisamo team feels fully integrated in the local panorama, and is very proud to be part of the 80% of the environmental friendly companies accompanied by Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement to settle locally.  Thank you for your support! 🙏 Antoine Adam Bérénice OUZILLEAU Nantes Métropole région Pays de la loire Association Wind Ship Lise Detrimont Wind for Goods  #windpropulsion 

Day 3 - last day - EUROMARITIME - ☕🌬️ Organized on the Bretagne stand, the WISAMO team began with an interesting breakfast focused on wind-propulsion. Nicolas Boulet from WISAMO and Lise Detrimont from Association Wind Ship highlighted together the wind-propulsion benefits and challenges to decarbonize the maritime transport. 📌 last chance for meeting us Hall 2, Stand B15

Day 2 EUROMARITIME Yesterday was an unbelievable opening day ! 💚 For our first participation, thank you for visiting us and learn about our innovative WISAMO #wingsail !   We listened with passion Nicolas Boulet take part at the discussions about innovations to decarbonize the maritime transport and shared the insights learned from our partnership with the Compagnie Maritime Nantaise - MN : system reliability in exigent maritime conditions, total autonomy for the vessel team without specific operational skills and safety layout validated.   📌 Stand B15, Hall 2 : the team is ready ! #euromaritime #michelin #decarbonization #innovation 

🏁 Day 1 EUROMARITIME 📌 At stand B15 - Hall 2, our WISAMO crew looks forward to share about wind propulsion and maritime transport decarbonization 🎤 This afternoon, at 3.30 pm our Head of Sales and Business Development Nicolas Boulet will discuss about innovative solutions to decarbonize the maritime transport, with Jérôme Védrenne, Erwan Jacquin and @Alexandre Caizergues moderated by Paul Tourret Let's go ! #euromaritime #michelin #decarbonization #innovation

🚀 One step forward ! 👋 After miles sailing across the Gulf of Gascogne, our WISAMO 100sq.m wingsail prototype implemented on the vessel MN Pélican bade farewell to the deck last January. A crucial milestone in the partnership between Compagnie Maritime Nantaise - MN and Michelin allowing us to retrospect the enlightening lessons amassed in real maritime conditions ☀ 🌦 🌬 ⛈   Our dedicated teams have highlighted some key learnings : - our  #windpowered solution is reliable and resilient through repeated lowering/hoisting cycles, particularly in winds of over 40 knots. - our system operated fully  #automatically - the automatic safety cut-out is operates in high sea conditions - the system could be used  fully autonomous by the operational team Thanks to these precious feedbacks, our technical team will work on specific axes of #improvements following the innovation process   A big thank you for all the team commitments : WISAMO, Michelin Research & Technics, Michel Desjoyeaux and of course our partner Compagnie Maritime Nantaise - MN SOGESTRAN Group thanks to whom this test phase have been successful And our prototype wingsail already has a second life...more in the next episode! #innovation #decarbonisation

+1 😍 We're thrilled to welcome Raphael Personnat into the WISAMO family as maintenance technician. His key missions consist of backing our technical team during the scale of the 800sq.m wingsail while ensuring the upkeep of our prototypes. Welcome !
