Joint venture of Alfa Laval and Wallenius to design wind-powered ships
Project similar to the one recently presented by Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics
June 29, 2021
In particular, the objective of the new society which is alfawall oceanbird is to install a wind propulsion system on a car carrier of capacity of 7,000 cars capable of navigating at a speed of cruise of 0 knots, a system that would allow to reduce by 90% the emissions compared to those of the ship currently in service that has the greatest energy efficiency.
Let us remember that Wallenius, through the Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics of which it is co-owner together with the Norwegian Mr Wilh. Wilhelmsen, is already engaged in a project similar, recently presented ( of the 17th feverish 2021), which also plans to build a ship 7,000 wind-powered cars garage, the Orcelle Wind, which has general characteristics almost identical to those of the Oceanbird that will be designed by AlfaWall Mr Oceanbird.
