Norsepower has installed its Rotor Sails on the Oceanus Aurora, a large gas carrier operated by IINO Kaiun Kaisha (IINO LINES) and chartered by Borealis in Rotterdam in early November 2024.<\/p>\n

The Oceanus Aurora now features two Norsepower Rotor Sails, each 20 meters tall and 4 meters wide. These sails use wind power to help the ship\u2019s engines, reducing fuel use and cutting down on CO\u2082 emissions.<\/p>\n

The sails spin with a small amount of electricity, creating thrust using the Magnus effect, a natural phenomenon that generates extra power from wind.<\/p>\n

Norsepower estimates that the Rotor Sails will reduce the Oceanus Aurora\u2019s fuel consumption and CO\u2082 emissions by about 4%.<\/p>\n

Borealis, known for its commitment to sustainability in polyolefins and recycling, said that these Rotor Sails are essential to reduce emissions and make transportation more eco-friendly.<\/p>\n

IINO Lines also discussed the importance of adopting new technologies for cleaner shipping. The company\u2019s director, Seiichi Fujimura, added that sustainable shipping is a priority, and partnering with Norsepower and Borealis supports their efforts to reduce their environmental impact.<\/p>\n

The Oceanus Aurora, delivered in March 2023 from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering<\/a> (now Hanwha Ocean), was designed with the foundations for wind propulsion. This proactive approach shows the shipping industry\u2019s growing focus on cleaner technologies.<\/p>\n

Norsepower has been leading the way in wind-assisted propulsion. With 28 Rotor Sails already in use across 15 vessels, the company is set to install 34 more sails on 13 ships in the next 18 months.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, companies like Samsung Heavy Industries are also working on wind-assisted propulsion. Samsung recently received approval for a new design using wing sails for LNG carriers, which will further improve fuel efficiency and cut emissions.<\/p>\n

More shipping companies, including Mitsui O.S.K., Chevron Shipping, and Oshima Shipbuilding, plan to use wind power on gas carriers.<\/p>\n
