Norsepower Ships at sea Norsepower 2023-08-08 | In the face of overwhelming challenges such as increasing fuel prices, climate change, and tightening regulations including the IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), the Energy Efficiency Existing ship Index (EEXI), and Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), the sector needs radical solutions. And, that answer is blowing in the wind.The Norsepower Rotor Sail™ is a modernised version of the Flettner rotor. It uses a minimal amount of the ship’s electric power to rotate cylinder-shaped rotors on the ship’s deck. Rotation together with wind generates powerful thrust – saving fuel and reducing emissions from 20 – 25%, and even more.The proof is in the results. The LR2 Epanastasea (ex Maersk Pelican) reported a verified 8% fuel saving with 3400 ton annual CO2 reduction; the MV Estraden has measured savings of 6.1%, and the SC Connector enjoys fuel savings of 13.5 tons per week with 20 – 25% and up to 70% in good conditions!Our product can be rolled out across fleets, enabling shipowners and operators to scale how they reduce fuel and cut emissions. The M/V Berlin and M/V Copenhagen are already enjoying 4 – 5% emissions reductions in their operations, a clear example of how we can tangibly deliver greater impact and propel your operations into the future.

Combining wind propulsion and other clean technologies with voyage optimisation Norsepower 2022-06-20 | How will technology integration help the shipping industry to maximise vessel and voyage efficiencies and reach its net zero goals both faster, and – vitally – smarter?Norsepower is hosting a panel discussion where participants will challenge conventional thinking around clean technology investment, a market that has often been characterised by investments in one single technology, with financial decisions often based upon on antiquated payback algorithms. Panellists will highlight the variety of drivers challenging the industry to decarbonise: the anticipated cost of carbon as a tax or levy, increasing fuel costs as new, low carbon fuels emerge, pending EEXI and CII regulations, and ‘demand side’ ESG drivers from shippers, banks and other stakeholders. • What do you see as the key drivers for decarbonisation in shipping: the anticipated cost of carbon as a tax or levy, increasing fuel costs as new, low carbon fuels emerge, pending EEXI and CII regulations, ‘demand side’ ESG drivers from shippers, banks and other stakeholders? • What is the scale of the opportunity for multiple clean technologies, including wind propulsion, working in tandem with voyage optimisation? • Is it time to rethink the ‘payback period’ investment model, especially when looking at multiple technology investment?

Accelerating Sustainable Shipping with Rotor Sails Norsepower 2022-05-27 | The wind-assisted propulsion systems (WASP) have drawn increased attention recently from the shipping industry as the IMO 2030/50 goals accelerate the need to reduce fossil fuel consumption and associated GHG emissions. Rotor Sails are the most popular and least-risk WASP technology available for commercial ships today, suitable for most vessel types, both newbuild and retrofit, Bulk Carriers, Tankers, LNG and LPG Carriers, Ferries, and RoRos.Join us as our speakers will provide their expert views on the operational, technical, and commercial aspects of Rotor Sails:- What is the Class Society’s role in the design and installation of Rotor Sails and other clean technology?- An overview of Norsepower’s Rotor Sail technology- The benefits and challenges of newbuild installation versus retrofitting, and its procedures- Review and evaluation of Rotor Sails by ship owner | ScandlinesMODERATOR:Jan-Paul de Wilde Head of Decarbonisation, Energy Transition, and Innovation, RINA SPEAKERS:1.
