Rotors and sails
BULKER
Japan’s Oshima Shipbuilding has been contracted to build a 62,900dwt bulker carrier for compatriot operator Mitsui OSK Lines that will make use of both rotors and a rigid sail to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. To be delivered by 2024, the ship will incorporate three rotors supplied by London-based Anemoi and a ‘Wind Challenger’ sail by Oshima. The latter, about 170ft high when raised, will be located near the bow. JS
