Norsepower has developed and brought to market the Norsepower Rotor Sail Solution, with which ships can significantly reduce fuel consumption and related emissions. When the wind conditions are favourable, Norsepower Rotor Sails allow the main engines to be throttled back, saving fuel and reducing emissions while providing the power needed to maintain speed and voyage time. Rotor sails can be used with new vessels or they can be retrofitted to existing ships.
Norsepower Rotor Sail Solution has been piloted on Bore’s RoRo vessel Estraden starting from November 2014 with excellent results. Norsepower’s product is world’s first practical and effective auxiliary wind power solution, which enables achieving efficiency gains and emission reductions that go significantly beyond the best currently available solutions.
