Ocean Network Express (ONE) is set to install two containerised wind assist devices, known as VentoFoil containers, on the 1,036 teu feeder vessel MV Kalamazoo as part of its new trial aimed at unlocking the potential of wind propulsion as a sustainable solution for the maritime industry.
Scheduled to begin in January 2024, the trial will run for approximately for six months and comprise of a comprehensive study whereby ONE will closely monitor the performance of the VentoFoils.
Data on fuel consumption, emissions reductions, and overall operational efficiency will be collected and the results of the trial will be used to assess the long-term viability of wind propulsion as a sustainable shipping solution.
