AGM & Technical Presentation

Modern day shipping faces an enormous challenge to reduce its fuel consumption and emission of CO2 to meet the prescribed MARPOL targets. Wind propulsion has been a popular research topic for green shipping enthusiasts throughout the 20th and 21st century, particularly at times of high bunker prices.

Flettner rotors are a form of wind based propulsion that utilises the "Magnus effect" to generate a lift force that can contribute to the propulsive needs of a ship.

Much like other industries we have experienced a tremendous rate of development in technological capability which has enhanced the efficiency of our operations. These include a significant decline in the cost of data processing and storage, miniaturization of subsea sensors, increased computing capacity, quick, reliable, wireless communications, increased utilization of subsea robotics and sophisticated data analytics and artificial intelligence. However, within a cost constrained environment stakeholders must drive development towards a value based solution.
