Berge Bulk and ANEMOI Marine Technologies agreed to install four folding Rotor Sails onboard Berge Neblina (388k DWT ore carrier) and Berge Mulhacen (210k DWT bulk carrier).

Paolo Tonon, Technical Director at Berge Bulk, said: “We’re committed to continuous innovation and exploring cleaner, greener energy sources. Wind propulsion is an option we have explored previously in other formats, and we firmly believe it can help achieve our #decarbonisation commitments. The partnership with Anemoi commenced with in-depth engineering simulations to find the best possible technical and commercial solution. Therefore, we are pleased to be rolling out their Rotor Sail technology on our vessels.”

Rotor Sails are large mechanical sails that harness wind power to reduce emissions and fuel consumption on the vessels when driven to spin. Each year, the four-rotor system will save 1,200 to 1,500 metric tonnes of fuel per vessel.
