World’s largest rotor sail
Norsepower - Stand E9075
Learn more about Norsepower’s successful testing of the world’s largest model rotor sail (30m tall and 5m in diameter), two of which are planned to be installed on a Maersk tanker by mid-2018. The company’s medium-size model, the 24x4, will soon be tested and installed on Viking Line’s cruise ferry, Viking Grace.
Exhibited will be a model-scale vessel with two rotor sails installed on the deck. The rotor sails can be operated with a full-scale operator panel, highlighting the operating principle of the rotor sails.
Norsepower’s rotor sails are auxiliary wind propulsion units, which provide thrust in favourable wind conditions and reduce the main propulsion power requirement. Fuel-saving potential in areas with good wind conditions is typically 3-6% of the long-term average for each rotor sail.
