Anemoi Marine Technologies has reached an agreement with COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (CHI) to install Anemoi’s Rotor Sails on newbuild vessels or retrofit during dry dock.
Rotor Sails, also known as Flettner Rotors, are an energy saving technology. The mechanical sails are comprised of tall cylinders which, when driven to spin, harness the renewable power of the wind to provide auxiliary propulsion to vessels which significantly reduces fuel consumption and lowers harmful emissions entering the atmosphere by 5-30%.
"As an integrated group of shipbuilding and marine engineering enterprises we are committed to supporting the shipping industry’s decarbonisation drive"
Guo ZhiQiang, Assistant General Manager at CHQ of CHI, stated.
