Marflet Marine, a Spanish private shipping company, has signed a contract with Bound4blue to install four eSails, wind-assisted propulsion technology, on their oil and chemical tanker, Santiago I. The installation, scheduled for mid-2025, is set to reduce annual energy consumption by 10-15% and is part of Marflet's decarbonization strategy. This marks the first adoption of wind propulsion technology by a Spanish merchant fleet owner, aligning with efforts to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, as well as cutting operating costs.
