The solution integrates rigid sails, solar panels, batteries, optimized weather routing, and a wise decision support system made by Hydrographic and Marine Consultants (HMC).
The 203,000 DWT bulk carrier has a length of 300 m, a beam of 50 m and a range of 24,500 nautical miles.
The initial estimates showed that the worth of the retrofit plan would be about USD 10 million.
This first phase of the retrofit of the auxiliary engine diminishes the overall CO2 emissions by 6.1 percent and the MGO fuel of the auxiliary engine by 97.5 percent.
The second phase of investment, needed by 2025, includes the installation of six rigid, 30m high sails to provide supporting wind propulsion, along with switching from fossil to biofuels.
The surplus wind propulsion facilitates power to the vessel and cuts the load of the main engine (2T), thereby reducing fuel consumption and was projected to achieve 1237 kW at 67 percent operation per day.
With the deployment of biofuels to advance reduce emissions, this investment phase minimises CO2 emissions by 10.3 percent of CO2 per year.
RINA was incorporated as an operational company RINA (Registro Italiano Navale), a private firm established in Genoa in 1861, to address numerous economic concerns indulged in the maritime transport sector.
