<\/p>\n

\n

The global push for decarbonization in the transport sector has predictably inspired a wave of new designs for the shipping sector, including a new ‘Zero-Emission Handymax Bulker’ design from the hands of Eco Marine Power, a design that incorporates renewable energy solutions, electric propulsion and fuel cells.<\/p>\n

The ship design concept is known as the Aquarius Eco Handymax II and all the technologies currently encompassed in the design are either currently available or under-development.<\/p>\n

The Aquarius Eco Handymax II ship design includes the integrated sail-assisted propulsion & solar power system known as Aquarius Marine Renewable Energy or Aquarius Aquarius MRE. A range of energy saving devices including an air lubrication system (ALS) have also been added along with electric propulsion & fuel cells. Aquarius MRE was granted Approval-In-Principle by ClassNK in 2021 & a further patent related to this system was applied for recently.<\/p>\n

Some of the technologies incorporated into the Aquarius Eco Handymax II design will be installed for evaluation purposes on an actual Handymax bulker this year & as the project continues further technologies will be deployed. The performance of the energy saving devices installed on this vessel will be evaluated in cooperation with the ship owner & strategic partners.<\/p>\n\n
