Anemoi Marine Technologies, Hafnia, GSI, and DNV are collaborating to design rotor sails for 50,000 dwt MR tankers, aiming to slash emissions and set a new standard for wind-assisted propulsion in commercial shipping. The project will evaluate rotor sail integration and their impact on regulatory metrics, potentially reducing CO2 output by up to 30% in optimal conditions.

Read MoreImagine a cargo ship that not only cuts emissions but also adapts to future green technologies. The Gadus series, built by Thecla Bodewes Shipyards for Navigare Shipping, is making that vision a reality. With diesel-electric propulsion, wind-assisted systems, and room for alternative fuels, these vessels are rewriting the rules of sustainable shipping.
