Read moreNorsepower Oy Ltd. and Bore Ltd announced the successful sea trial of Norsepower’s Rotor Sail Solution, a new wind propulsion technology for ships. The sea trials, verified by NAPA and supported by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, confirm fuel savings of 2.6% using a single small Rotor Sail on a route in the North Sea. With these fuel savings, the technology has a payback period of 4 years. Based on the trials, Norsepower and Bore believe that a full system on Estraden with two rotors has the potential to deliver 5% efficiency savings on an ongoing basis. Norsepower forecasts savings of 20% for vessels with multiple, large rotors traveling in favourable wind routes. The Norsepower Rotor Sail Solution was installed on the 9,700 DWT Ro-Ro carrier MS Estraden. Owned by Bore, the leading Finnish Ro-Ro Shipping Company, MS Estraden operates in a continuous service between the Netherlands and the UK, sailing through the North Sea’s windy corridors at speeds of 16 knots. “The successful trials of our wind technology are a ground-breaking moment not only for Norsepower, and also the wider development of wind propulsion technology for shipping. The results suggest that when Norsepower’s technology is implemented at ...

Read moreSustainable sea transport is dependent on the development of a new concept to exploit the renewable resources on the sea. The wind is one such resource, caused by solar energy and the earth's rotation. Vindskip ship design concept meets demands for fuel economy and emission control with today's technology.
Read moreThis talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Terje Lade gives a inspiring presentation on the vision behind Vindskip™. Shipping stakeholders globally are recognising the importance of creating more sustainable solutions. Due to its very low fuel consumption, Vindskip™ can utilise liquified natural gas (termed LNG) as fuel and will still be capable of up to 70 days of steaming between bunkering. Thus it can meet all of todays and tomorrows regulations.In the beginning, I was open with you propecia before and after has changed my essence. It has become much more fun, and now I have to run.
