Auxiliary wind propulsion systems service provider Norsepower revealed an agreement for the distribution and also installment of 2 Norsepower Rotor Sails on a newbuild Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) for international delivery business IINO Lines.
The brand-new LPG double gas ship– supplied today from Daewoo Shipbuilding & & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd in Korea prepares to be outfitted with 2 bespoke 20m high Norsepower Rotor Sails side-by-side.

The systems will certainly be set up aboard the vessel in Q2 2024.
The Norsepower Rotor Sail is an up-to-date variation of the Flettner blades. A percentage of electrical power is made use of to rotate the cyndrical tube on the deck. The rotating cyndrical tube and also the wind develop the Magnus impact to create drive sustaining the primary propulsion which decreases gas intake, exhausts, and also gas prices.
Following computations, Norsepower approximates the Rotor Sails will certainly minimize the gas intake and also carbon monoxide ₂ exhausts from the vessel by about 4%. The efficiency of the Norsepower Rotor Sails is approximated by technique confirmed by ClassNK. The conserving will certainly aid the vessel satisfy global exhausts decrease targets, consisting of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), and also save money on increasing gas prices, while likewise can be future proofing from expected carbon rates.
Hiromi Tosha, President of IINO Lines, stated, “IINO Lines is committed to taking an innovative approach to meeting and exceeding local and international decarbonization targets.

The information extracted from 8 years of procedures shows the decrease of gas prices and also exhausts that are attained, which sometimes mores than 25%. It is likewise Norsepower’s 3rd gas service provider installment agreement. We delight in to be aiding IINO Lines, amongst lots of others, enhance their ecological and also business efficiency in the added to 2030 exhausts decrease targets along with belonging to the remedy to aid delivery reach its stretch objective of carbon nonpartisanship.”
