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.
The shipping industry transports 90% of the world’s cargo, resulting in enormous air pollution impacts. Designed as an engine assist technology, the rigid wingsail system is completely foldable to the ship's deck to avoid safety issues during harsh weather conditions or during loading/unloading operations. It is fully automated - no extra crew required - and will orient itself to maximize performances for any wind direction. As a result the wingsails thrust capacity is ten times higher than that of traditional sails and other existing novel designs. By generating effective thrust from wind power, Bound4blue’s rigid wingsails allow vessels to operate at their nominal service speed with reduced engine propulsion, thereby lowering fuel consumption and polluting less.
