ONE TO INSTALL CONTAINERIZED WIND ASSIST UNITS ON FEEDER SHIP




ONE plans to deploy two units on a feeder ship it operates in Asia

Published Apr 19, 2023 4:57 PM by The Maritime Executive



Ocean Network Express (ONE) plans to test a containerized wind foil system
aboard one of its feeder ships. The system, which was developed by
Netherlands-based Econowind, offers the advantage that it can be folded away and
also is moveable to permit the vessel’s normal container operations.

The system will be employed aboard the Kalamazoo, a 12,600 dwt containership
built in 2013 and owned by Norse Shipholding and managed from Singapore. The
vessel is operating for ONE on a feeder route currently sailing between China
and Korea. The ship is 469 feet long with a carrying capacity of 1,036 TEU.

Before the end of 2023, the Kalamazoo will be fitted with two containerized
units which are the same size as a standard 40-foot container. The advantage is
that it is a fully autonomous unit that contains all the equipment, including
hydraulics, automation, and ventilation integrated into the containerized unit.
The only support needed from the vessel is a power connection. Being in a
container it is also fully moveable.

to block cargo operations (Econowind)

 

Econowind developed the containerized solution as an alternative for
retrofitting its VentoFoil, a wing-shaped rigid sail, to in-service vessels.
According to the company, the design incorporates a smart suction system that
controls the airflow around the wing-shaped element. The foil measures
approximately 34 feet by 9 feet and will be able to generate thrust to save up
to 400 kW of engine power. In unfavorable conditions, the foil units can be
stored in the container.

Takashi Kase, Senior Vice President of ONE said the first wind assist system
utilization will be a milestone for the company in its goal to achieve net-zero
emissions by 2050. ONE plan on testing different technologies as part of its
optimization project.

After conducting land tests, Econowind ran its first full-size tests on the unit
in November 2018 aboard a general cargo ship the Lady Christina (5,375 dwt) in
the North Sea and Baltic. During that test, the ship’s operator reported a fuel
savings of approximately 10 percent per day in keeping with Econowind’s
projections of a 7 to 11 percent savings. 

 



Tests were performed on the containerized units in 2018 aboard a general cargo
ship in the Baltic and North Sea (Wijnne Barends)

 

“We are delighted to add ONE to our customer base as the first Asian partner,”
said Frank Nieuwenhuis, CEO of Econowind. “The more installations we can
retrofit, the more data we can attain and learn from. This provides us with
solid proof of how wind-assisted ship propulsion is reducing emissions per
nautical mile and with vessels improving their EEXI / EEDI.”

In addition to the containerized units, Econowind is also developed larger,
fixed Ventofoils that can be employed to newbuilds or retrofitted to existing
ships. Using the same principles of aerodynamics, the fixed versions are not
limited by the size of the container offering the potential for greater power.
They can be built to fold down during bad weather or to increase clearances for
the vessel during maneuvering or in port for cargo operations. The fixed units
also rotate around their axis.

THREE PERCENT OF GULF OIL PRODUCTION SHUT IN BY PIPELINE BREACH

Published Nov 23, 2023 11:12 PM by The Maritime Executive

The pipeline spill that released up to 1.1 million gallons of oil into the Gulf
of Mexico last week has forced the shut-in of about 61,000 barrels a day of
production, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. This amounts to about three
percent of total U.S. offshore crude production. Six producers use the Main Pass
Oil Gathering Co. (MPOG) line, a 67-mile pipeline extending east from the
Mississippi Delta. The Coast Guard identified the affected producers as W&T
Energy VI, Occidental...

PHOTOS: NAVY MAKES PROGRESS ON RECOVERING P-8 AIRCRAFT FROM KANEOHE BAY

Published Nov 23, 2023 10:32 PM by The Maritime Executive

The U.S. Navy is making progress on retrieving the wreck of a P-8A Poseidon
maritime patrol aircraft that ran off the end of a runway at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii
on Monday. A Navy structural engineer has arrived from the mainland to determine
the aircraft's integrity. The P-8 appears to be structurally intact, and there
have no been apparent fuel leaks. Booms have been deployed around it as a
precautionary measure, along with sorbent material. A skimmer is also on hand...

CARNIVAL’S CUNARD AND P&O THREATEN TO “FIRE AND REHIRE” OVER 900 CREW

  The UK’s maritime union is protesting the news that Carnival Corporation &
plc’s UK group will potentially “fire and rehire” more than 900 crewmembers
working on the cruise ships of Cunard and P&O as part of an ongoing contract
renegotiation.  A Carnival UK spokesperson responded to media inquiries in the
UK denying that the company was seeking to reduce manning levels saying it is
instead part of a regular realignment of its employment agreements.  Under UK
labor law, a...

OP-ED: UNMANNED NAVAL VESSELS WILL TAKE LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT

Published Nov 23, 2023 6:26 PM by CIMSEC

[By James J. Wirtz] Will unmanned forces transform naval campaigning? Given
recent events following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, maritime transformation
appears to be well underway. Autonomous and semi-autonomous aircraft and surface
vessels have damaged or destroyed Russian surface combatants, air defense
systems, and supply depots. Land warfare also has seen its share of innovative
applications of autonomous and semi-autonomous technology, from swarming drone
attacks against urban areas to single hand grenades precisely dropped on lone
soldiers in slit trenches...
