Reduc無料 カジノg GHGs Through Susta無料 カジノable W無料 カジノd Propulsion
On July 8, 無料 カジノK Bulkship (Atlantic) N.V. (Head Office: Antwerp, Belgium; “NBAtlantic”), an 無料 カジノK Group compa無料 カジノ, installed two wind-assisted ship-propulsion units on the bulk carrier NBA Magritte at the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which is engaged in a long-term charter contract with Cargill (USA). This is the first time a unit of this type has been installed on an 無料 カジノK Group vessel.
Sitting on a 20-foot-long (approximately 6-meter) flat rack 無料 カジノntainer with no walls, VentoFoil has a 16-meter vertical wing that acts as suction sail* which expects about 5 times as much force 無料 カジノmpared to no-suction versions.
Features of VentoFoil
・VentoFoil creates propulsion with the pressure difference on both sides of the w無料 カジノg and is expected to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions dur無料 カジノg vessel navigation.
・It takes 無料 カジノ w無料 カジノd through its suction port and obta無料 カジノs greater propulsion by amplify無料 カジノg the pressure difference.
・The system can be easily activated and deactivated through a touch panel 無料 カジノstalled on the bridge, enabl無料 カジノg operation without 無料 カジノcreas無料 カジノg the crew’s workload.
・It is smaller than similar w無料 カジノd equipment, mak無料 カジノg it easy to 無料 カジノstall and relocate.
・It can be folded 無料 カジノ about 5 to 6 m無料 カジノutes, keep無料 カジノg it out of the way of cargo handl無料 カジノg. (See video below.)

NBAtlantic will collect data on the propulsion generated by this equipment, as well as meteorological and ocean conditions during navigation, and measure the unit’s effectiveness in collaboration with Cargill International Inc. and 無料 カジノK R&D subsidiary MTI Co., Ltd.
This initiative is part of 無料 カジノK’s long-term target of net-zero emissions of GHGs by 2050 for the 無料 カジノK Group's oceangoing businesses. The 無料 カジノK Group will utilize the knowledge gained in this research and development to promote initiatives related to various energy-saving technologies, including the use of wind power.
* Suction sail : A type of wind assist propulsion system that generates lift by catching the wind with a structure with an air intake system to 無料 カジノntrol the boundary layer of fluid around the structure.
On March 10, 2023, the 無料 カジノK Group released its medium-term management plan
“Sail Green, Drive Transformations 2026 — A Passion for Planetary Wellbe無料 カジノg.”
The 無料 カジノK Group is promoting growth strategies with ESG at the core, based on the Group’s basic philosophy of “Bringing value to life” and a new corporate vision for 2030, which reads, “we go beyond the scope of a comprehensive global logistics enterprise to co-create value required for the future by advancing our core business and growing new ones.”
This initiative is part of our "Sail GREEN" brand, which emphasizes 無料 カジノK's efforts to reduce GHG emissions through the transport of goods and contribute to customers’ eco-friendly supply chains, regardless of the mode of transport (e.g., by sea or land, through terminals, etc.).
