South Korea’s largest shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has acquired design approval for Hi-Rotor, its own wind-assisted propulsion tech.
HHI claims its rotor sail tech can contribute to reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions by about 6 to 8%. Many new forms of wind propulsion are coming to market of late.
Separately, top brass at HHI have outlined how they see the future fuel race panning out. HHI is busy building a series of landmark methanol-fueled boxships for Maersk at present.
