Overview
- 82,000DWT Kamsarmax Bulk Carrier
- Yard: Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding
- Ship Design: CS Marine
- Class: Lloyd’s Register
- Client: Blue Planet Shipping
- Delivered in 2017
Approach
- Ship owner wished to make their newly purchased vessel “Wind Ready” by installing Anemoi’s Rail Deployment System, ready to receive Anemoi Rotor Sails in the future
- After assessing the ship design, Anemoi proposed using their Transverse Rail Deployment Systems to ensure port operations would not be affected once the Rotors were installed
- Anemoi completed full project management:
- Collaborative design of structural and electrical integration with ship design house
- Obtaining full Class approval for the system
- Final inspections and commissioning
Results
- 4 Transverse Rail Deployment Systems were installed along with Electrical and Control hardware for up to 8 Rotor Sails
- The installation was completed prior to delivery of the vessel
- To date, the Rail Deployment Systems have caused no interruption to port operations
- Minimal maintenance required on any “Wind Ready” vessels
Estimated Savings
If 4 Rotor Sails (3.5m x 25.4m) are installed, the annual savings are projected to be 12% (reduction of 648 tonnes of fuel and 2,077 tonnes of CO2 per year), based on IMO Global Trade and wind probability matrix.
