MAGHIC 2

The aim of MAGHIC 2 is to unblock the use of wind power in the Caribbean Sea, thereby contributing to the decarbonization of maritime transport.

The project also aims to strengthen the networking of research, development and innovation players around maritime ageing, and to support innovation initiatives within Caribbean companies around the rotor sail concept.

MAGHIC 2 is supported by INTERREG Caraïbes.
