British supplier of rotor sails for commercial vessels, Anemoi Marine Technologies, has entered into a joint design cooperation agreement with Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding for the design of rotor sails onboard two LNG carrier newbuildings.
As part of the agreement, Anemoi will assess the feasibility and design of rotor sails for installation on LNG carriers and develop relevant specification requirements and designs that can be used for future installation projects to meet current and future environmental targets.
According to the company, this project will attempt to enable the smooth introduction of a new generation of efficient and environmentally friendly LNG carrier design.
The sail technology can be easily implemented on modern LNG carriers due to the large amount of available deck space and limited impact on cargo operations. Earlier this year, Anemoi announced it was on track to have a production capacity to install up to 50 rotor sails a year by the end of 2023 due to growing demand for the technology.
