Anemoi Marine Technologies and COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry have renewed a framework agreement to expand collaboration on the installation of rotor sail wind-propulsion systems across COSCO Shipping subsidiary shipyards. The companies began cooperation in 2022, during which they completed the installation of nine rotor sails at COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry yards. These installations included very large ore carriers for Vale and U-Ming at the Zhoushan yard.
Under the updated framework, shipowners installing Anemoi rotor sails will be able to access COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry’s installation services, covering integration design and onboard installation across the group’s shipyard network in China. This collaboration aims to support the growing adoption of wind-assisted propulsion in the maritime industry. The agreement reflects the companies’ ongoing commitment to enabling greener maritime operations.
Shipowners can now benefit from a combined expertise in rotor sail technology and installation services, leading to increased value, clarity, and confidence in their wind-assisted propulsion projects. By working together, Anemoi and COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry aim to promote sustainable shipping practices while reducing carbon emissions from the maritime sector. The partnership also underscores the growing importance of innovative technologies in addressing climate change challenges.
