Rotor Sails, μια λύση που ήρθε για να μείνει στη ναυτιλία

Η Oldendorff και η Norsepower ανακοίνωσαν πρόσφατα μια σημαντική συμφωνία για την εφαρμογή των Rotor Sails της Norsepower, προκειμένου να εξοικονομηθεί σημαντικά η κατανάλωση καυσίμου μέσω της αιολικής πρόωσης.

Η εφαρμογή τριών Rotor Sails διαστάσεων 24 x 4 μ. θα γίνει στο φορτηγό πλοίο «Dietrich Oldendorff», τύπου post-Panamax, στα μέσα του 2024. Η τεχνολογία των Rotor Sails είναι στην ουσία η σύγχρονη εκδοχή του περιστρεφόμενου ρότορα Flettner. Η Norsepower έχει εκσυγχρονίσει σημαντικά αυτή...

Oldendorff opts for Norsepower for Teck rotor sail retrofit

™

Helsinki, Finland, headquartered Norsepower is hailing the decision by Oldendorff Carriers to fit a bulker chartered by Canadian mining giant Teck Resources with three Norsepower rotor sails. As we reported in December, the Teck rotor sail retrofit comes as the result of a decision by Teck and Oldendorff to make a joint investment in wind propulsion to further reduce CO2 emissions in Teck’s supply chain. The investment will see the vessel Dietrich Oldendorf, which carries shipments of Teck...

Deltamarin awarded design contract for new Airbus ships

Airbus ship profile view

Turku, Finland, headquartered Deltamarin has been selected to design the three wind assisted RO/RO vessels that France’s Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) will operate under a charter from Airbus. The aircraft manufacturer is looking to cut the carbon emissions of its fleet of vessels used to transport aircraft subassemblies between Saint-Nazaire, France, and its single-aisle aircraft final assembly line in Mobile, Ala., and the new Airbus ships promise big carbon savings.

Teck and Oldendorff to fit bulker with rotor sails

In another example of how charterers are helping push forward the move to greener shipping, Canadian mining giant Teck Resources is making a joint investment with Oldendorff Carriers that will see Norsepower rotor sails retrofitted to the vessel Dietrich Oldendorff.

The ship, which carries shipments of Teck steelmaking coal from the Port of Vancouver, will be outfitted with the rotor sail system by mid-2024.

The rotor sails generate lift from the wind, which is translated into additional thrust,...

Vale goes for world’s largest wind propulsion installation yet

Wind propulsion installation includes folding rotor sails

In the latest example of how leading charterers are pushing shipping decarbonization forward, Brazilian mining giant Vale S.A. is to install five rotor sails from London-headquartered Anemoi Marine Technologies Ltd onboard the 400,000 dwt very large ore carrier (VLOC) Sohar Max. Owned by Oman-headquartered Asyad, the ship is a Valemax size vessel. These are the world’s largest ore carriers and Anemoi says this will be the world’s largest wind propulsion installation thus far.

The agreement...
