Deltamarin team up with BAR Technologies and Cargill for wind wing assisted cargo ships

 

DELTAMARIN - Food corporation Cargill and design and engineering consultancy services provider BAR Technologies have embarked on a strategic project with naval architect Deltamarin to bring wind propulsion technology to commercial shipping.

 

 

 

AL SINDBAD 28 OCTOBER 2020 - Cargill, BAR Technologies to deliver wind sail solution for commercial ships

Food corporation Cargill and design and engineering consultancy services provider BAR Technologies have embarked on a strategic project with naval architect Deltamarin to bring wind propulsion technology to commercial shipping.

As informed, the project will see BAR Technologies’ WindWings — large, solid wing sails that measure up to 45 meters in height — fitted to the deck of bulk cargo ships to harness the power of the wind and reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 30 per cent.

The number of wing sails can be tailored to the size of the vessel and the route it will take. 

The project is currently in the design phase, bringing together a team of companies to deliver the first vessels – expected on the water by 2022. The team will share risk and expertise, starting with product tankers before moving to dry bulk vessels. 

BAR Technologies – a spin-off from Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR), the British team formed by Olympic and World Champion sailor Sir Ben Ainslie – was formed in 2016, making the design knowledge, technical skills and intellectual property developed for America’s Cup yacht racing available for the commercial world.

“Through this partnership we will bring … wind solutions to customers who are actively seeking to reduce CO2 emissions from their supply chain,” Jan Dieleman, president of Cargill’s Ocean Transportation business, is quoted as saying.

“Changing regulations and uncertainty about future greener marine fuels makes choosing the right vessel to charter with a long-term view complicated. With the WindWings technology, Cargill will be able to offer customers a solution that improves vessel efficiency, independent of the fuel or type of engine used,” he continued. 

“Wind is a near marginal cost-free fuel and the opportunity for reducing emissions, alongside significant efficiency gains in vessel operating costs, is substantial. We’ve invested in our … wind sail technology to provide vessel owners and operators with an opportunity to realize these efficiencies,” John Cooper, Chief Executive Officer, BAR Technologies, is quoted as saying.

The maritime industry faces a huge challenge to reduce average CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030 and working towards 70% by 2050, compared with 2008 levels. Cargill, which was chartering a fleet of more than 600 vessels at one time, recognizes its responsibility to accelerate the decarbonization process and has brought the necessary vision and scale to convert BAR Technology’s inspiration into measurable efficiency savings.

Cargill has partnered with a number of fellow industry leaders and organizations to drive decarbonization progress, including the Global Maritime Forum and its Getting To Zero Coalition, the Sea Cargo Charter, a recent initiative to cut and track emissions from chartered ships to reduce the maritime industry’s carbon footprint and the Maersk McKinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping

Last year, Cargill announced a collaboration with Maersk Tankers and Mitsui & Co. to provide over-the-shelf solutions for maritime actors looking to explore new technologies to reduce their emissions.

 

 

 

 

WINGS AS SAILS - The race is on the develop alternative technology for shipping, amid a rush of ideas to get to zero carbon. But few appear to be pushing rotary sails as a possibility, allied to such clean tech as solar power. Archinaute and the Elizabeth Swan seem to be the only contenders.

 

 

 

OCTOBER 28, 2020 - DELTAMARIN, BAR TECH AND CARGILL PUT WIND IN THE SAILS OF THE NEXT GENERATION CARGO SHIPS

At Deltamarin, we have carried out extensive research and development studying how to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of ships. One of the technologies being studied is wind-assisted propulsion. Today Deltamarin is collaborating with Cargill and BAR Technologies to design cargo ships using BAR Technologies’ WindWings, a new technology offering a solution to improve vessel efficiency, independent of the fuel or type of engine used.

“Deltamarin was selected as the naval architect for this project due to its track record in designing efficient cargo vessels and introducing new technologies to ships,” says Keith Dawe, Sustainability Projects and Investments Leader of Cargill Ocean Transportation. Deltamarin has a specific focus on optimising the hull form and appendages as well as propulsion and steering configuration for WindWings vessels.

John Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of BAR Technologies is quoted as saying: “Today is a significant milestone in bringing our WindWings to Cargill’s vessels. Working alongside such forward-thinkers as Cargill and Deltamarin will ensure that we succeed in fulfilling the huge potential of this project. Wind is the free fuel and should be one of the keys to the IMO’s targets for CO2 reduction.”

Deltamarin’s Senior Advisor Mauri Harki is quoted as saying: “Finding solutions to radically reduce greenhouse gases in the maritime industry is our common challenge. We at Deltamarin are privileged to share our long experience with one of the industry leaders in operating cargo vessels and with an ambitious technological innovator. Nobody can do it alone. We believe this partnership will create interesting new opportunities for design in the future of the global maritime sector.”

ABOUT BAR TECHNOLOGIES - With an impressive heritage, having originally spun out from the former British, America’s Cup Team, BAR Tech provide a wide range of design and engineering consultancy services with a focus on 4 key sectors; Workboats and Commercial Vessels, Shipping, Special Projects and Leisure Marine and Yachts.

 

BAR Technologies offer a cohesive team of world lead naval architects and optimisation specialists; fluid dynamists; mechanical, structural and composite engineers; control strategy and system specialists; they offer data and simulation engineers with access to the latest commercial knowledge, using bespoke in-house design tools.

 

BAR Technologies originally entered this market to challenge themselves to incorporate their broad knowledge of naval architecture, simulation, CFD and patented IP into a superior Crew Transfer Vessel for taking technicians to work on Wind Turbines (amongst other uses). The aim being to improve seakeeping and help make a green energy sector even greener by dramatically reducing fuel requirements.

BIG RIGID SAILS - The project will see BAR Technologies’ WindWings — large, solid wing sails that measure up to 45 meters in height — fitted to the deck of bulk cargo ships to harness the power of the wind and reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 30 per cent. The number of wing sails can be tailored to the size of the vessel and the route it will take. Hence, route optimisation is seen to be a key component of any transport system.

Caribbean Islands roll on roll off ferry, solar and wind powered ships

 

ZERO CARBON RORO - This is a small roll-on roll-off ferry designed to carry 12 large vans, with passenger rooms below decks. She is a zero carbon design featuring twin wind generators that also add to thrust directly from the wind (like sails) and a full deck of solar panels that track the sun - including a battery store. The age of zero carbon shipping is dawning, with innovative designs like this expanding on the possibilities. Design Copyright © December 6 2019.
