Norsepower, the global leader in wind propulsion systems for ships, and long-term partner Sea-Cargo have strengthened their partnership with a repeat order for two additional vessels. The Norwegian shipowner will retrofit its two RoRo vessels, MV Trans Hav and MV Trans Sol (ex- MV Misida and MV Misana), with Norsepower Rotor Sails™, a proven technology for reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency.
The two 165-metre vessels, which operate mainly between Norway and the continental Europe, will each be equipped with three 24x4m Norsepower Rotor Sails and several other cutting-edge sustainable technological upgrades. Through the implementation of all these measures, these vessels are expected to cut fuel consumption with up to 50%.
This repeat order underscores the success of Norsepower’s partnership with Sea-Cargo, a company recognised as a pioneer in leveraging wind-assisted propulsion to improve vessel efficiency. The first vessel of Sea-Cargo to be fitted with NPRS, SC Connector, has demonstrated average savings of 20–25% over several years, and up to 70% on individual voyages. Johan Christian Hvide, CTO of Seatrans, commented:
The decision to retrofit additional vessels with Norsepower Rotor Sails aligns with Sea-Cargo’s commitment to reducing emissions and complying with increasingly stringent EU regulations. The Norsepower Rotor Sails’ effectiveness in harsh North Sea conditions makes them ideally suited for the trade route.
“This repeat order is a testament to the strong partnership we have built with Sea-Cargo and the proven success of our product” said Heikki Pöntynen, CEO of Norsepower. “We are proud to continue supporting Sea-Cargo in its mission to reduce emissions and set an example for sustainable shipping.”
