The rotor sails were installed in 2018 on the 64,000 DWT ultramax vessel owned by Blue Planet Shipping . According to Anemoi, the system has delivered 1,340 mt of bunker fuel savings and reduced about 4,980 mt of well-to-wake CO2 emissions across 154 voyages while maintaining more than 95% operational availability. The company said the results provide independently verified evidence of the long-term durability of wind-assisted propulsion systems in commercial shipping.
