英国船舶技术提供商Smart Green Shipping启动了一项耗资5百万英镑的项目,将研发全自动风力海上航行技术FastRigs及其配套的数字路线分析软件TradeWind,旨在更好地利用风能作为辅助能源,为航运业减排。来自英国可再生能源公司Drax、英国港口Peel Ports和劳氏船级社LR的行业工作者均参与了这项为期三年的合作研发项目。FastRigs技术可与现役商船队中多达4万艘的船只兼容,能降低至少20%的燃料消耗并减少温室气体排放。TradeWind软件则是通过优化数据采集系统和船舶航线,在降低燃料消耗的同时保证船舶能在指定时间到达港口。

Smart Green Shipping has launched a £5m research and development project for its fully automated FastRigs wing sail technology and digital routing software that will harness the power of wind to deliver major fuel and emissions savings for the shipping industry. Collaborative three-year R&D project brings together major industry players including Drax, Peel Ports and Lloyd's Register. The FastRig automated sail technology is compatible with up to 40,000 ships currently operating in the merchant fleet and can deliver at least 20% fuel savings and associated GHG reductions. The TradeWind tool optimizes data gathering and a vessels routing to minimize fuel consumption and arrive at a port at a designated time.
