The 2,700-square-foot parafoil kite flies 200 meters in the air to capture steadier, stronger winds.
"The system was installed on a Capesize bulk carrier in December. This is the first of five K Line vessels to feature a Seawing, with an option for up to 51 further vessels in total."
The system is "safe, clean, reliable, and compact," and it can be easily implemented on virtually any commercial ship to reduce emissions and fuel consumption by an average of 20 percent, claims the company.- The EcoRouting system and Seawing are both controlled and monitored by the bridge equipment.
- The parafoil wing, a flight control pod, and an umbilical cable are all parts of the flying apparatus that manage the wing's autonomous and ideal flight. The umbilical cord that connects the wing to the pod and the pod to the ship manages traction, transmits data, and powers the pod. In order to maximize system power and maintain safety, the pod guides the wing while it is in flight.
According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, cargo ships moved more than 12 billion tons of cargo in 2018 — almost three times as much as they did in the prior ten years.Seawing kite
