Wind energy is making a comeback in the shipping industry, along with new opportunities to make an impact on the circular economy.
Harnessing more wind dramatically enhances clean power and propulsion. On that topic, more maritime shipping businesses are noticing and embracing added efficient technologies. Seriously. A few are giving sails a contemporary twist—literally—on an idea that was somewhat dormant for over 100 years. H.G. Magnus, a German scientist and chemist, conducted … [continued]
The Finnish firm Norsepower has explosion-proofed its unique tilt-able, tube-shaped wind energy harvesting devices for cargo ships.
The next generation Norsepower Rotor Sail™ control system provides Louis Dreyfus Armateurs with better efficiency and real-time savings reports, guaranteeing the timely and environmentally friendly moving of Airbus aircraft components. Suresnes, France — In an historical wind propulsion deal, the French shipowner, Louis Dreyfus Armateurs SAS (LDA) and the Finnish mechanical sail company, … [continued]
Why wait for alternative fuels? Norsepower is scaling up its plans for bringing wind power back to the cargo shipping industry.
