Anemoi Marine Technologies (‘Anemoi’) and several industry partners have concluded a joint development project (JDP) that integrates Anemoi’s Rotor Sails – comprising two folding, EX‑rated units – into the design of a medium-range (MR) tanker – simplifying selection and installation of the technology.
The design was developed with Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) and ship operator Hafnia. Classification society DNV, reviewed the rotor sail integration for the vessel and has now issued an Approval in Principle (AiP) for the design. As part of the project, the partners addressed the technical, structural, operational and regulatory demands of deploying Rotor Sails in the MR tanker segment, which faces tight constraints around deck space, cargo operations and safety.
The completed concept uses an EX-rated version of Anemoi’s 5x35m folding Rotor Sail, meeting the explosion safety requirements for equipment in the hazardous areas on product tanker decks. Working with GSI, Anemoi developed a lightweight deck seat that does not require underdeck strengthening while still allowing straightforward inspection
