Fuel savings

Norsepower Rotor Sails™ provide a reliable and easy-to-operate wind propulsion system with a proven record — typically producing 5 – 25% fuel savings, and even more in good conditions. And don’t just take our word for it, the fuel savings are measured and verified by multiple well-known third parties such as RISE, NAPA, ABB, LR and Chalmers University.

The savings projections we provide with our feasibility studies are highly accurate and reliable. They are based on over 500,000 hours of real-world performance data from our product, combined with the most accurate route and weather information available. Over the years, comparisons between projected and actual fuel savings have consistently validated our tools and methodologies. If you’re interested in the details, please request our Performance Data Overview brochure.

CO2 reductions

By providing additional forward thrust, the Norsepower Rotor Sail™ allows the main engine to be throttled down, significantly reducing emissions. Typical, proven, and third-party verified annual reductions range from 5% to 25% – and can be even greater under favourable conditions. To give you a sense of the sails’ power: in optimal circumstances, the main engine can be temporarily shut off entirely, and the vessel can sail using only the Norsepower Rotor Sails.”

Regulatory savings

Current and upcoming marine regulations are focused on encouraging ship owners and charterers to adopt greener solutions. Fortunately for our customers, Norsepower offers a perfectly timed and highly effective response to this call. Norsepower Rotor Sails™ are fully aligned with regulatory requirements set by the International Maritime Organization, including the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII).

This ensures both environmental responsibility and compliance with industry standards, resulting in substantial benefits for ship owners and charterers. Regulatory savings can include the ability to use lower-cost fuels, access all ports, and operate at higher top speeds.
