Maersk Selects Anemoi Rotor Sails for 8,700 TEU Container Ship Retrofit
Danish liner giant A.P. Moller – Maersk has chosen UK-based Anemoi Marine Technologies to supply wind-assisted rotor sails for a Lima-class vessel.
A.P. Moller – Maersk has entered into an agreement with British wind-propulsion specialist Anemoi Marine Technologies to deploy mechanical sails aboard an 8,700 TEU container ship.
Under the arrangement, Anemoi will supply its proprietary Rotor Sail technology for installation on a vessel from Maersk's Lima-class series. The project marks a notable deployment of wind-assist hardware on large-scale container tonnage.
The rotor sail units harness wind energy to generate forward thrust, designed to reduce propulsion demand on the main engine and curtail overall fuel burn during voyages.
The installation aligns with Maersk's ongoing fleet initiatives to evaluate innovative energy-saving technologies aimed at lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving operational efficiency.
