As component of a recurring zero-emission ship style task, Eco Marine Power has actually launched information of a brand-new Handymax bulker that includes a series of renewable resource options, energy-saving tools, electrical propulsion as well as gas cells. This ship style idea is referred to as the Aquarius Eco Handymax II as well as all the modern technologies presently incorporated in the style are either presently readily available or under-development.

The Aquarius Eco Handymax II ship style consists of the incorporated sail-assisted propulsion & & solar energy system referred to as Aquarius Marine Renewable Energy or Aquarius Aquarius MRE ®. A variety of power conserving tools consisting of an air lubrication system (ALS) have actually likewise been included together with electrical propulsion & & gas cells. Aquarius MRE ® was provided Approval-In-Principle by ClassNK in 2021 & & an additional license pertaining to this system was gotten lately.

Some of the modern technologies integrated right into the Aquarius Eco Handymax II style will certainly be mounted for analysis functions on a real Handymax bulker this year & & as the task proceeds better modern technologies will certainly be released. The efficiency of the energy-saving tools mounted on this vessel will certainly be examined together with the shipowner & & critical companions.

“The Aquarius Eco Handymax is the result of years of research & development including shore-based & ship-based trials. The design focus is not on any one solution or technology, however, but rather how various alternative power sources and energy saving devices can work together to achieve the zero-emissions operation of a large ship.”– commented Greg Atkinson, President & & Chief Technology Officer at(* ).Eco Marine Power firms are coordinating on R&D tasks associated with the
