Atlantic Orchard, a juice carrier chartered by Louis Dreyfus Company and owned by Wisby Tankers, recently installed four bound4blue eSAILs. bound4blue has received validation from Lloyd’s Register for its wind propulsion system force matrix calculation methodology. The methodology will enable shipowners to calculate Pwind for installations in line with regulatory frameworks, including FuelEU Maritime and the IMO’s EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) and Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI). bound4blue said the validation allows shipowners to quantify the regulatory impact of its suction sail technology without full-scale trials.
