This energy saving technology is increasingly being sought after by ship owners and operators as a cost-effective and immediate solution to reduce the carbon emissions

Norsepower and Swedish shipowner Stena Line have signed an agreement for the delivery of two Norsepower Rotor Sails™ on an all-new methanol hybrid newbuild RoRo vessel.

Together, the two companies are delivering innovative energy efficiency solutions for merchant vessels, reducing fuel consumption, minimising carbon emissions, and accurately measuring the savings enabled by Norsepower Rotor Sails™.

The vessel is expected to achieve about 6-10% fuel and GHG emissions reductions on the Brazil to Far East routes, combined with voyage optimization technology.

Norsepower has closed a new deal with Union Maritime Limited (UML) to equip its fleet of new product tankers with Norsepower Rotor Sails™ (NPRS™).

The new low-emission vessels, which will be used to ship aircraft components for Airbus, will each be powered by a combination of six 35-meter tall Norsepower Rotor Sails

Oldendorff and Norsepower have announced an agreement to use Norsepower Rotor Sails™ to further reduce CO2 emissions on a modern bulk carrier.

Deal highlights the advantages of offshore application for a post-carbon future, using wind propulsion solutions to meet sustainability goals.

Norsepower estimates the Rotor Sails will reduce the fuel and CO₂ emissions from each vessel by approximately 5%.

New agreement between cleantech and maritime software leaders will use voyage optimisation tools to help wind-assisted vessels in their voyage planning to boost fuel savings and emissions reductions

Work will be undertaken at a Chinese yard and is scheduled to be completed in mid-2022.

The new vessel, a 325,000 dwt VLOC is owned by Pan Ocean Ship Management and will be chartered by Vale after construction is completed in China.
