Amasus Shipping
Delfzijl
Amasus Shipping signs an agreement with bound4blue to start powering the M/V EEMS Traveller with wind - bound4blue will install in 2022 two 17-metre-high eSAILs® on the general cargo vessel. - A similar unit was installed on M/V La Naumon, being the largest suction sail ever built and installed on a vessel. - Amasus Shipping is one of the biggest and most reputable European shipowners and operators in the shortsea, bulk, general cargo, offshore and worldwide heavy lift (including RoRo) market.
Integrating wind-assisted propulsion systems like eSAILs® on ships significantly reduces fossil fuel consumption and lowers greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly maritime industry.
eSAIL® is an innovative Wind-Assisted Propulsion System (WAPS) that uses active boundary layer control through suction to harness wind energy, providing a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional propulsion. It generates 6-7 times more lift than conventional sails, with low power consumption and no mechanical complexity, ensuring easy and reliable operation. Its compact design maximizes aerodynamic efficiency while minimizing impact on ship stability, deck space, and visibility. eSAIL® significantly reduces fuel consumption, lowers emissions, and helps ships meet environmental regulations like the EEXI and CII, ultimately leading to cost savings in both operational and capital expenditures. This technology is a game-changer for the maritime industry, combining environmental benefits with economic savings.
