When sailing, the 2014-built vessel, which was originally a dry bulk vessel before undergoing a conversion in 2020, will now enjoy simplified FuelEU Maritime compliance, taking advantage of the Wind Reward Factor, with further CII, EU ETS, and additional regulatory benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on trading routes, the juice tanker will benefit from fuel consumption and emission savings, projected to reach around 10%.<\/p>\n<p>This latest installation marks the third so far this year for bound4blue and is the latest in a series of recent installations that has seen the DNV lproved suction sails fitted to vessels ranging from MR Tankers to general cargo and RO\/RO vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Miguel Berm\u00fadez, CEO and co-founder, bound4blue comments: \u201ceSAILs open an easy, proven and economically beneficial pathway to greener operations for a wide variety of shipping segments, including unique vessel types such as juice carriers. This specialist project is a prime example of how our technology meets customer needs. In this case, the units were lifted into positions originally occupied by four deck cranes, with all electrical and structural work, sail preparation, and full unit programming carried out in one co-ordinated yard visit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with ambitious and like-minded companies such as LDC and Wisby Tankers to accelerate shipping\u2019s wind revolution, installing our mature, mechanically simple technology to deliver substantial fuel and emissions savings.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[Installation] bound4blue eSAILs\u00ae installation on the MV Atlantic Orchard (LDC)\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rKcqjkmf_rw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Wind assisted propulsion solutions were identified as the best option for reducing M\/V Atlantic Ocean\u2019s emissions and boosting efficiency LDC\u2019s shipping decarbonization team.
