According to an announcement by \u201cK\u201d Line and Airseas, \u201cSeawing\u201d is a kite system which assists vessel propulsion by harnessing natural wind power through its dynamic flight. A simple switch launches or recovers the kite which unfolds, operates and refolds autonomously. The \u201cSeawing\u201d system collects and analyses meteorological and oceanic data in real-time, then adapts its flight to this information in order to optimize its performance as well as to ensure maximum safety.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ClassNK released its Guidelines for Wind-Assisted Propulsion Systems for Ships in September 2019 in order to contribute to the safe integrity and design of this technology and the ships that are installed with it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Upon receiving the application from \u201cK\u201d Line and Airseas, ClassNK reviewed the basic design of the kite system in line with relevant international conventions, ClassNK rules, and the above-mentioned guidelines. Following its successful completion, ClassNK granted an AIP for the basic design of the kite system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ClassNK will continue to support the smooth implementation of new technologies through its role as a third-party certification body.<\/p>\n
