Why wait for alternative fuels? Norsepower is scaling up its plans for bringing wind power back to the cargo shipping industry.
Wind power is attracting more heavy hitters in the global shipping industry, including Sea-Cargo and Sumitomo.
Norsepower has big plans to bring wind power back to the shipping industry, with an assist from the Magnus effect to save fuel and maximize energy efficiency.
The return of wind power slips a much-needed dose of clean energy into the global shipping industry as it seeks to avoid an upward spiral of carbon emissions.
The global mining and shipping giant Vale banks on five weird looking sails to rule the seven seas with wind power.
For ships that only sail the oceans, the Rotorsail made a lot of sense so far, but for ships that must use canals and intracoastal waterways, having those big sails can be rather problematic. The biggest problem? Bridges.
Norsepower, a company that builds modernized sails to reduce fuel consumption and emissions on ships, got an order to install five of its Rotorsails on a bulk carrier in 2021. This is the first order for a bulk carrier, and the company’s sixth installation since founding in 2012.
Wind power comes back to the shipping industry, with spinning “sails” that can duck under low bridges and power lines, too.
Wind power finally comes home to roost in the maritime industry as cargo ships set sail with high tech renewable energy on board.
