Dutch shipowner Amasus Shipping is to retrofit two 17-metre-high suction eSAILs on a general cargo vessel.
The aim is to cut the ship’s annual CO2 emissions by up to 30% on favourable trade routes.
The shortsea, bulk, general cargo, offshore and heavy lift operator will install the bound4blue-designed sails on the 2,850-dwt EEMS Traveller (built 2000) during a port call in 2022.
