How Big Are Ship Propellers? Amazing Engines of Billion Dollar Ships Building these huge ships takes months and involves several stages, there is a crazy amount of power needed to move these massive and expensive container ships Once the basic frame of the ship is in place, the engines, navigation equipment and other systems are installed. The engines of these giant ships are very complex, the engine begins with the construction of the engine block which is made up of many individual parts that are precisely machined and then assembled into a single block.

Fascinating article on suction sails for wind assisted marine propulsion. #shipping #vessels #maritime #marine #wind #propulsion

Shipping x Climate Netherlands-based Chemship has launched its first ship equipped with wind-assisted propulsion. The MT Chemical Challenger will operate on Chemship’s Trans-Atlantic route between the U.S. East Coast and the Mediterranean. With the installation, the ship becomes the world’s first chemical tanker to use wind-assisted propulsion, as GCaptain informed. The 134-meter vessel last week was outfitted with four 16-meter-high aluminum wind sails, or VentoFoils, from Econowind. The advanced design of the sails creates a direct wind surface of 180 square meters, which is amplified by smart vacuum technology to more than quadruple the gross wind surface to 900 m2—equivalent to a 30 meter by 30 meter sail. Chemship anticipates that the new sails will lead to an average CO2 reduction of 10%. “With the VentoFoils, we will use less fuel and thus reduce CO2 emissions. For this vessel, we anticipate an annual CO2 reduction of 850 tonnes. This is equivalent to the yearly CO2 emissions of over 500 passenger cars,” said Niels Grotz, CEO of Chemship, Michiel Marelis, Operations Director at Chemship, added that these wind sails fit seamlessly within the tankers’ existing configurations and don’t interfere with normal operations. “These wind sails were easy to install without adding reinforcements to the ship. They are lightweight, have a small deck ‘footprint’ and do not obstruct the crew’s line of sight. At the push of a button, they can fold or set the sails as needed. Above wind force seven, the sails fold automatically, which is much safer. Now it is learning by doing. With positive results, we will also equip the next vessel with VentoFoils,” said Marelis. #shipping #climate #emissions #demurrage #maritime #carbon #wind #propulsion #sails #rotorsails #co2

PROPULSION: Liebherr Group provides electric adjustment system for AYRO’s wind-assisted #cargo ship The Canopée vessel – the first hybrid industrial cargo ship powered by wind, Liebherr states – has been equipped with four #OceanWings. With a height of 37m and a surface area of 363m² each, this automated, lowerable and patented vertical wingsail technology has been designed to help to reduce CO2 emissions by cutting fossil fuel consumption. Benjamin Schmid, head of sales – maritime applications at Liebherr-Components, said, "To offer a turnkey plug-and-play solution, #Liebherr integrated all the relevant elements into the wingsails. With the electric adjustment system, therefore, higher wingsails can be turned, whereas the user saves the time-consuming assembly and the adjustment time. "On top [of this], we take care of the perfect interaction of the components. In this way, we are able to fully exploit all the advantages of our products as a system and are proud to have designed such an electric adjustment system together with #Ayro. With this development, we set a milestone for #greenshipping.”   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e8gxT-e9 #Marine #Maritime #Electrification #Decarbonization #Sustainability #Environment #Technology #Transportation #EHMExpo #EHMXNA

[SUCCESS🏆STORY] 2024 JEC Composites Innovation Awards winner in the category Maritime Transportation & Shipbuilding: OceanWings (ex-AYRO) and partners Alizés, Jifmar Offshore ,Zéphyr et Borée, Neptune Marine, VPLP Design and ArianeGroup for the OceanWings® project  Baptiste Rossi discusses the company's recent success in this competition. >> https://ow.ly/c9pl50Sr0Fn 📄 OceanWings® is a patented, automated, self-raising and lowering vertical wingsail system that enables newbuild or existing ships to reduce their fuel consumption and resulting carbon footprint by up to 50%. The challenges of our technology include the wing's ability to withstand winds of up to 100 knots, while ensuring the proper functioning of its operations: automatic orientation in relation to the wind, adjustable camber, reefable and furlable. Structure is therefore essential to meet these challenges. At OceanWings, we have chosen to use composite materials to a large extent in the construction of our wingsails, for their high mechanical strength and lightweight. 💡Key benefits: •Up to 50% of fuel savings •Automated and passive system •Dimensioned for harsh sea environmental conditions •Reefable and furlable system •Adapted to new-build and retrofitted ships #JECinnovationawards #composites #oceanwings #marine #shipbuilding
