Abstract: The subject of this paper is to assess the wind potential for the northwestern area of the Black Sea, based on satellite-recorded
data, supplied by “ASCAT” (Advanced SCATterometer) and from coastal meteorological stations in the purpose of using wind
potential onboard commercial ships by efficiently produce renewable energy. The evaluation of the benefits obtained by
harnessing wind power, thus generating renewable energy using contemporary technical solutions already existing within the
maritime industry, has been achieved by comparing energy production costs between onboard diesel generators and wind
turbines on a cargo ship.
