Chinook Oldendorff bulk carrier adopts rotor sails in Vancouver, aiming to cut fuel use and emissions.
Rotor sails, installed on the Chinook Oldendorff, a bulk carrier docked in Vancouver, use wind energy to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
This technology, employing the Magnus Effect, can potentially cut fuel use by up to 30%, though 5-10% is more realistic.
The shipping industry aims for near-zero emissions by 2050, and currently, only 55 ships globally use wind assistance.
This innovation is seen as a hopeful step toward decarbonization.
