Det luxemburgske rederi CLdN, har bestilt 2 rotorsejl fra Norsepower til RoRo færgen DELPHINE, som er verdens største short sea RoRo færge med 7.800 lanemeter. Det forberedende arbejde på DELPHINE er allerede startet, og installationen af rotorsejlende vil være færdig i december 2022.
“Seeing the interest grow in our tilting Rotor Sail design demonstrates how the industry is looking for proven, flexible solutions to lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce fuel costs across a range of vessel sizes and operations.”
Tuomas Riski, CEO, Norsepower
DELPHINE sejler mellem Kontinental Europa, Storbritannien og Irland. Det forventes at rotorsejlene, som er 35 meter høje og har en diameter på 5 meter, vil reducere emissionerne med mellem 7 og 10%, afhængig af hvilken rute den sejler på.
“In 2021, CLdN announced it is the top performer amongst its Ro-Ro shipping peers in Northwest Europe for CO2 emissions per tonne of freight carried. By investing in technologically advanced ships and terminals, CLdN enables its customers to improve their carbon footprint and support them at the same time in making their supply chains more efficient and robust. This demand for cleaner shipping is growing and we are committed to making measurable progress. Installing two of Norsepower’s Rotor Sails will maximise our fuel and emissions savings on the DELPHINE, and this pilot project will help determine how the Rotor Sail technology could be rolled out on the current CLdN fleet and our new-build vessels. We look forward to the installation and subsequent results.”
