Maersk Product Tankers has confirmed it sold one of the few vessels installed with rotor sails in the world but vowed to continue to pursue wind propulsion.
The Denmark-based owner, majority owned by AP Moller Holding, told TradeWinds that the 109,647-dwt Maersk Pelican (built 2008) was sold and delivered to its new owner.
“This vessel was special to us,” chief technical officer Tommy Thomassen said in an emailed statement.
