DNV evaluation shows BAR Technologies WindWings can achieve up to 32% energy savings

Back in August last year, the Cargill-chartered 80,962 dwt bulker Pxyis Ocean, which is managed by MC Shipping’s Singapore branch, became the first ship to sail with BAR Technologies’ WindWings, after being retrofitted with two of the hard sails at a COSCO shipyard.

Tidal Transit project will create the world’s first retrofit eCTV

U.K. based crew transfer vessel operator Tidal Transit has begun the design and engineering phase of a project that will deliver the world’s first retrofit electric crew transfer vessel (eCTV). Like the Bibby Marine eCSOV that we reported on earlier this week, the project is supported by the U.K.’s ZEVI program, receiving GBP 6.3 million (about $7.9 million) in funding,

Over the next 15 months, Tidal Transit will retrofit the diesel-powered Mercurio 20 meter vessel, Ginny Louise, with over two...

VIDEO: Chemship retrofit is a wind-assisted propulsion world first

Ventofoil wing sail fitted to Chemship tanker

Chemship’s 2015-built 16,111 dwt Chemical Challenger has become the world’s first chemical tanker to be retrofitted with wind-assisted propulsion. This week, four 16-meter-high aluminum Econowind Ventofoils wing sails were installed on board the 134-meter long vessel, which serves Netherlands-headquartered Chemship’s transatlantic route between the East Coast of the United States and the Mediterranean.

The VentoFoils fitted to the Chemical Challenger have a direct wind surface of 180 square...

Seatrium and Solvang in world’s first full-scale CCS retrofit

Solvang ASA has selected Singapore’s Seatrium to carry out the world’s first first full-scale, turnkey carbon capture and storage retrofit on an oceangoing ship: the 21,289 cubic meter ethylene carrier Clipper Eris.

Scheduled to start in the third quarter of this year, the retrofit will see a 7 MW Wärtsilä carbon capture and storage (CCS) system installed on the ship. It will use amine cleaning technology to capture 70% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the exhaust gas from the main engine and the...

Maersk chooses Alfa Laval FSS for first containership methanol retrofit

FSS to be used in contanership methanol retrofit

Maersk’s commitment to green methanol is not limited to its newbuild program. Next year it will retrofit its 2017-built, 15,000 TEU containership Maersk Halifax for methanol dual fuel operation, in the first of eleven green-methanol engine retrofits planned for mid-2024 (see earlier story). The engine retrofits will be carried out by MAN PrimeServ. Alfa Laval has been chosen to provide the fuel supply system for the first of its kind containership methanol retrofit project.

“We have set an...
