Tokyo-headquartered IINO Lines has contracted Finland’s Norsepower Ltd to supply two 20m tall rotor sails for installation on its 62,500dwt Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) Oceanus Aurora, which was delivered by South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co last year. The twin 4m diameter rotors are expected to reduce the Liberian-flagged ship’s overall fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by approximately four per cent annually.
