London, 26th February 2025: With the number of ships using direct wind energy for propulsion increasing at a rate of knots, perceptions of wind propulsion technology are seemingly changing in the shipping industry, a sector which, until the middle of the 19th Century, relied solely on sail.
The potential of wind energy to rapidly decarbonise the shipping industry by enabling the realisation of low or zero emission vessels is well-known. However, barriers to the large-scale adoption of wind...

Japan’s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) and Vale International SA (VALE), based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, announced that a 200,000-ton class bulk carrier, currently employed under a mid–term contract for transportation of iron ore for Vale, has been successfully retrofitted with two 35- by 5-meter Norsepower Rotor Sails and marked its first call at Ponta da Madeira, Brazil. MOL and Vale first announced this project over a year ago.
This is the world’s first case of rotor sails on a capesize...
Berg Propulsion has won a contract covering the hybrid propulsion solution that will ensure that three wind-assisted Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) RO/RO vessels maximize efficiency regardless of their mode of operation.
The vessels are being built for charter to Airbus and will transport aircraft subassemblies between Saint-Nazaire, France, and its single-aisle aircraft final assembly line in Mobile, Ala. Set to enter service in 2026, each will be fitted with six Norsepower rotor sails and two...

This past year has been a good one for auxiliary wind propulsion as a growing number of charterers look to the technology as a means of cutting carbon across their supply chains. One of those charterers is Airbus, and its decision to include rotor sails on three new vessels it will charter from Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) has brought Finnish rotor sail pioneer Norsepower Oy its largest order yet — and is, in fact, the largest order thus far placed in the mechanical sails market.
The new...
