The subject of this paper is to assess the wind potential for the north-western area of the Black Sea based on satellite recorded data supplied by "ASCAT" (Advanced SCATterometer) and from meteorological costal stations for the purpose of utilizing this data onboard commercial ships in order to efficiently produce renewable energy. The evaluation of the benefits obtained by capitalizing wind power, thus producing renewable energy using contemporary technical solutions already existing within the
