Anemoi Marine Technologies, a leader in wind-assisted propulsion technology, has developed an in-service performance verification process that reduces cost and complexity for operators while improving accuracy compared to existing practices.

The process, validated by Lloyd’s Register Advisory (LR Advisory), involves measuring vessel data when the wind-assisted propulsion system is turned on and off while encountering various conditions during regular operation. The data is used to calibrate predictions on forces generated by the rotor sail system and their impact on the vessel, which can be used to predict voyage fuel savings with high levels of confidence.  Read more…
