With IMO’s CII and
EEXI regulations looming, more owners are opting to add sails of one kind or
another to ships in a bid to reduce CO2 emissions.
In one example of this trend, the New
Aden, a next generation 307,000 dwt VLCC built by China’s Dalian
Shipbuilding Industry Co (DSIC), is fitted with four 40 meter high rigid wing sails.
Built for China
Merchants Group, the 333 meter long vessel was built to China Classification Society (CCS) class.
Hailing the New
Aden as “one of the most advanced VLCCs ever built in China,” CCS vice
president Fan Qiang said the sails are
expected to slash average fuel consumption by nearly 10% on the Middle East
to the Far East route cutting an estimated 2,900 tons of CO2 emissions a year.
“The New Aden is
an outstanding vessel which embraces the very latest design techniques as we
work towards meeting the IMO GHG targets,” he said.
Fan said the New
Aden sets new standards in VLCC performance.
