Did you know that two Norsepower Rotor Sails™ can help you save up to $500,000 dollars a year? Speaking to Lloyd's List, our CCOO Jukka Kuuskoski talked about how these dollar savings are possible by consuming about 10% less fuel, based on an annual consumption of 6,700 tonnes of fuel at an average price of $763 per tonne. The Norsepower Rotor Sail™ is a proven solution that is slashing emissions, helping owners and operators comply with regulations and maximising energy efficiency, despite the energy density challenges of future fuels. Jukka also discussed how we’re overcoming the traditional requirement for upfront investment with our ground-breaking mechanical sail leasing initiative with Iino Kaiun Kaisha Ltd, and Mizuho Leasing to encourage take-up for small to medium-sized shipowners and operators. Today, we have the proven product, the team, and the facilities to help you save fuel and the planet by bringing sails back to shipping.

After Stena Germanica, Stena Line is looking to retrofit two more ships to run on methanol. "As part of the project, the retrofit process will convert two out of the four main engines in each vessel to run on methanol alongside marine gas oil (MGO). The ship’s bunkering, storage, fuel supply and supporting systems will also be adapted for methanol. Stena Line’s ferry Stena Germanica was converted to be capable of running on methanol in 2015. Classed by LR, Stena Germanica is the only retrofitted methanol vessel in service and will provide valuable experience for the project to convert Stena Superfast VII and Stena Superfast VIII, according to the class society." Alongside LNG, methanol seems to be picking up steam among RoPax operators and thereby contributing to popularity in fuel adoption across segments. We must factor two challenges: 1. Ascertaining the green aspect of the fuel and it supply and production process. 2.Adequate training of crew to handle the fuel. What are your thoughts on this?

We are proud to announce the award and commencement of manufacturing for the very first Zone 0 CORKEN compressor package for one of our valued shipping customers. This compressor package will serve as a vapor recovery unit, playing a crucial role in preventing unwanted emissions during cargo discharge or changeover. At CSH, we take pride in being specialists in the manufacture of emission reduction packages for inland barges, all under BV classification. This achievement underscores our commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions for the maritime industry. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to lead the way in emission reduction technologies!  #shipbuilding #binnenvaart #scheepvaart #binnenschifffahrt #binnenschiff #inlandship #inlandshipping #maritime #maritiem #binnenvaartschip #binnenvaarttransport #inlandtanker #tanker #tankervessel #tankship #binnenvaarttanker  #emissioncontrol #emissionreduction #renewableenergy #powergeneration #energytransition #liquidgas #liquidgastransfer #fuelgas #vaporrovery #flaregas #compressorsystems #CSH #sustainableenergy #maritimeindustry #maritime #chemical #tankschiff #binnenschifffahrt

#Barging into a greener future: Holland Shipyards Group has delivered H2 Barge 2, the second hydrogen-powered vessel for Future Proof Shipping. The vessel has undergone a complete retrofit from traditional internal combustion technology to cutting-edge hydrogen fuel technology, enabling Future Proof Shipping to offer emissions-free container shipping on the busy Rotterdam–Duisburg route along the Rhine. We love to see this kind of #innovation in the #shippingindustry. #marineinnovation #marineindustry #marine #maritimeinnovation #maritimeindustry #maritime #shipping #containershipping #barge #greentech #hydrogenpower #greenfuel #greentech #zeroemissions

Just check the article and see what I said 😇 Accelleron, Product Manager Upgrades, Matthias Reichmann, said: “The phenomenal efficiency improvement delivered for Höegh Autoliners shows that EPLO – when performed optimally and with an associated optimization of turbochargers and engine settings– is among the best and most cost-effective solutions for reducing a vessel’s carbon intensity. Accelleron’s EPLO upgrade solution delivers peace of mind for shipowners dealing with complex decarbonization demands, a simple and effective measure contributing to compliance with greenhouse gas regulation while benefitting from substantially reduced fuel costs.” 🚀🚀🚀

“MOL: 7 new ships to get #windpropulsion systems” May 27, 2024, - Naida Hakirevic Prevljak “Japanese #shippingcompany Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and its group company MOL Drybulk have decided to install #windpropulsionsystems on a total of seven newbuilding #bulkcarriers and #multipurposevessels , which will be operated by MOL Drybulk.” “MOL has measured the performance of the Wind Challenger on the vessel Shofu Maru continuously on actual voyages and confirmed that the Wind Challenger sail reduced daily #fuelconsumption by up to 17%.” “In its MOL #GroupEnvironmentalVision 2.2, the Japanese #shipping group has set the target of achieving #netzero #greenhousegas (#GHG) emissions by 2050. One of the key strategies to achieve this target includes the “introduction of #cleanenergy , further #energysavingtechnologies ,” and the group plans to launch 25 vessels equipped with the Wind Challenger by 2030 and 80 vessels by 2035.” https://lnkd.in/e55ifumF?

Hanwha Ocean and Accelleron have performed an engine part load optimization (EPLO) for Höegh Autoliners supporting long-term energy efficiency for its 7,850 CEU (Car Equivalent Units) car carrier Höegh Detroit. The success of the project to improve the vessel’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating has led to an order for EPLOs on a further seven vessels owned or operated by Höegh. At a recent sea trial, EPLO demonstrated fuel saving of 10g/kWh, equivalent to 5% of total fuel consumption. The improvement not only enables the vessel to operate in a high CII rating but also provides substantial operating cost reduction in terms of fuel costs and EU ETS expenses and reduced CO2 emissions.
