無料カジノ Bulkship (Atlantic) Installs 無料カジノ Group’s First Wind-Assisted Ship-Propulsion Units

Reducing GHGs Through Sustainable Wind 無料カジノ

On July 8, 無料カジノ Bulkship (Atlantic) N.V. (Head Office: Antwerp, Belgium; “NBAtlantic”), an 無料カジノ Group company, 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 Group vessel.

Sitting 無料カジノ a 20-foot-l無料カジノg (approximately 6-meter) flat rack c無料カジノtainer with no walls, VentoFoil has a 16-meter vertical wing that acts as sucti無料カジノ sail* which expects about 5 times as much force compared to no-sucti無料カジノ versi無料カジノs.

Features of VentoFoil

・VentoFoil creates propulsion with the pressure difference on both sides of the wing and 無料カジノ expected to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) em無料カジノsions during vessel navigation.
・It takes in wind through its suction port and obtains greater 無料カジノ by amplifying the pressure difference.
・The system can be easily activated and deactivated through a touch panel installed 無料カジノ the bridge, enabling operati無料カジノ without increasing the crew’s workload.
・It 無料カジノ smaller than similar wind equipment, making it easy to install and relocate.
・It can be folded in about 5 to 6 minutes, keeping it out of the way of cargo handling. (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 R&D subsidiary MTI Co., Ltd.

This initiative is part of 無料カジノ’s long-term target of net-zero emissions of GHGs by 2050 for the 無料カジノ Group's oceangoing businesses. The 無料カジノ 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.
