ANEMOI | Berge Neblina with Folding Anemoi Rotor Sails @anemoi8665 | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 51 minutes ago.
Berge Bulk’s Berge Neblina, a 388,000 dwt Valemax Ore Carrier, folding four 5x35m Rotor Sails from Anemoi Marine Technologies Ltd (“Anemoi”) in May 2024.
The selected Rotor Sails have been installed on Anemoi’s bespoke folding deployment system, whereby the sails can be folded from the vertical to mitigate impact on air draught and cargo handling operations when in port.
Rotor Sails, also referred to as ‘Flettner Rotors’, are comprised of vertical cylinders which, when driven to rotate, harness the renewable power of the wind to propel ships. These highly efficient mechanical sails capitalise on the aerodynamic phenomenon known as the Magnus Effect to provide additional thrust to vessels. By leveraging wind energy, Berge Neblina will see increased efficiency by reducing the load on the main engine while maintaining speed, therefore substantially reducing fuel consumption and resulting in less greenhouse gas emissions.
